The Jimi Hendrix Experience / 8LP vinyl

Sony will issue for the first time (in Europe) a vinyl edition of The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set – also known as ‘The Purple Box’ – at the end of this week.

This eight-LP set was originally released on CD in 2000 (as has been reissued on CD a few times since), and presents previously unreleased concert and studio recordings which span Hendrix’s four year career from 1966-1970.

Beginning with the first known recordings of the Jimi Hendrix Experience in October 1966 to his final multi-track recording session at Electric Lady Studios in August 1970, this box set concentrates on previously unreleased or commercially unavailable music.

This vinyl set contains the original 56 tracks – there is no bonus material. It comes with a large format booklet and is released on 27 October 2017. Very good price of just under £90 in Germany, at the time of writing.
