Jimi Hendrix / The Cry of Love and Rainbow Bridge soundtrack

main

Terry Ott examines two recent Hendrix reissues.


GOT MORE ICONIC IMMORTAL HENDRIX, IF YOU WANT IT.

“And if I don’t see you no more more in this world, I’ll meet you on the next one – but don’t be late. Don’t be late.”  Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix

Did Johnny Allen Marshall “Jimi” Hendrix have a premonition when he wrote the above lyric? We’ll never know.

But what we do know is that we can ‘see’ or rather hear Jimi again in this world from around the productive period when he made his other-worldly remarks, even one of these two early posthumous Hendrix albums did take 43 years to make it to officially on to CD (Rainbow Bridge) with the other (The Cry Of Love) being long unavailable. It may even be worth the wait, sound wise, seeing as they are newly remastered from the original two track basic stereo master tapes from Electric Ladyland Studios – but more on that later.

Jimi Hendrix / Are You Experienced 200gsm audiophile mono vinyl

The Jimi Hendrix Experience / Are You Experienced mono 200g vinyl

The US edition of The Jimi Hendrix Experience‘s debut album, released in August 1967, was very different from the UK release. Most obviously the cover was completely changed to the now familiar psychedelic  ‘fisheye’ design and tracks were removed to make way for the singles that were not included in the original UK issue. Those singles were Purple Haze, Hey Joe and Foxy Lady. 

The Jimi Hendrix Experience / Are You Experienced US album cover

US album cover

This US version was available in mono for a short time, but the UK release has never been issued in mono in the US – until now.

On 5 March 2013, Sony are issuing a very heavyweight, 200g vinyl pressing of the album, mastered from the original mono master tapes by renowned engineer Bernie Grundman. The UK running order is present and correct, as is the original UK artwork.
