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

referencing Electric Ladyland (2×LP, Album, Reissue) 6307
Overall, a great sounding reissue. I do not have an OG to A/B it with, but as with most Canadian releases of this vintage, the pressing is quality.. nary a pop or click to be found and nice & quiet when it needs to be. 😎🇨🇦 - CD 1 contains Side 1 and 3 while CD 2 has sides 2 and 4. I wish I noticed this before buying but honestly I don't regret since it sounds good, it's a rare item and I paid literally nothing for it (2 euros).
- I know mine is 1972 because it says that on the inner sleeve, but there isn't a "4" printed to the left of the Warner/Reprise logo in the gatefold. It does have a T on the matrix though so I guess that means it is a Terre Haute Pressing. The matrix/runouts don't match any of the 1972 issues on discogs unfortunately
- Still think the US AAA Marino remaster has been a dream come true, this Grundman is at least the equal, to me even a bit better. Fantastic sound and dynamics. Sadly this ain't my first QRP with a few pops, still it does not spoil my experience.
Had the box in its CD incarnation and remembered the live album far worse soundwise, quite amazing what Mr. Grundman achieved for the guitar and bass, at least on record 1, just the drums: they sound like tin pans being hit with a piece of wood. Nothing for everyday listening, but still nice enough to spin from time to time.
The outtakes and rehearsals are a great glimpse into the creation of the original album which is, once again, beautifully mastered and cut. The sleeves and the box itself are of a very high quality.
Not such expensive anymore, highly recomended!!! referencing Electric Ladyland (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Repress, 180 Gram, Gatefold) 88697 62398 1
My s2 version sounds really good. Based on the ratings, seems like the majority feel the same?- The sound quality of this pressing is very disappointing , especially compared to a genuine 1st UK pressing .
- Edited 27 days agoExceptional sound quality , clarity and hot mastering on this a1 , b1 , a1 , b1 , Track UK 1st press . The wide soundstage phasing works wonderfully as well , sounds stunning .
My later UK Track , and early UK polydor pressings , and all my other versions sound mediocre and lame compared to this UK 1st press .
I remember buying my near mint copy for £220 in 2005 and feeling faint , after listening to it the next morning I thought WOW!!! I knew I scored a bargain . Blows every other version away by some distance . - The mastering is different on this reissue and it sounds different too.
On Watchtower the volume keeps dipping, it’s really odd.
The record itself is in excellent condition.
