Notes
Electric Ladyland is the third and final studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the final studio album released before Hendrix's death in 1970. A double album, it was the only record from the Experience produced by Hendrix. The band's most commercially successful release and their only number one album, it was released by Reprise Records in the United States on October 16, 1968, and by Track Records in the UK nine days later. By mid-November, it had reached number one on the US charts, spending two weeks there. In the UK it peaked at number six, where it spent 12 weeks on the chart.
Electric Ladyland includes a cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower", which became the Experience's best-selling single, reaching number six in the UK and 20 in the US. Although the album confounded critics in 1968, it has since been viewed as Hendrix's best work and one of the greatest rock records of all time. Electric Ladyland has been featured on many greatest-album lists, including Q's 2003 list of the 100 greatest albums and Rolling Stone's 2020 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, on which it was ranked 53rd.
UK sleeve 'day of release' copies include:
- the White Text version = regular: example 1, example 2
- the Blue Text version and/or Ghost Version = overprinting of a rejected tracklist

Show All 258 Reviews- This record still sounds great. It was due to Hendrix’s ears and ideas, but thank god Eddie Kramer was there to get the most out of that old equipment to capture Jimi new sounds.
Many groups of the day were rushed through the recording process with unsympathetic engineers.
Undeniably a must-own album.
- It was already a perfectly mixed album from the start, but this pressing has amazing bass and Winwood and Hendrix cut like a knife without being harsh.
- Sounds Awesome. Not much information on this pressing. Looks rare as there aren't any sales statistics. Any info on this pressing appreciated
- One (maybe silly) question, is this record from 1980 or 1968? I'm not able to understand why there's no release date. Some pages point as 1980 reedition, meanwhile other ones from 1968.
Thanks in advance! - The photos in this album are:

They are incorrect with this edition. referencing Electric Ladyland (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Repress, 180 Gram, Gatefold) 88697 62398 1
Sounds a bit harsh at times--especially with highs like in the guitar and sometimes the keys. Sometimes Jimi's voice distorts. I wonder if this was baked into the recording or if this pressing is inferior to the 2010s (and the 2015). My Axis, for example, sound way better.referencing Electric Ladyland (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Picture Disc, Unofficial Release) 613008/9
A shame that my copy from Track record is darker and slightly dominant green, compare to polydor sleeve.
