    I brought out my air guitar and danced after 5 sec. On side one.
    The music is fantastic. My pressing was quiet. The sound quality was very good, but I wanted more after repeated listening.

      I purchased my non-numbered copy new and sealed from Amazon. While all the matrix and barcode numbers match what is listed here, including the RTI numbers, the LP's are definitely 200 gram and were placed in inner sleeves from Quality Record Pressings. Has anyone else received a similar copy?

        This is a superb sounding audio release. I'm legally blind but from what I can see so far I believe I have one of the US pressings. I bought it brand new (12 years after it was originally released). But I don't see any Made in Germany stickers or any other mentions of anything in Europe on it. At least so far.

        My copy has a really great mix with a good, heavy hitting base and the highs and mid-range sound just perfect also. I haven't heard any surface noises on my copy so far. I'm halfway through Side 4 right now.

        I've been buying a lot of Hendrix LPs, brand new, since I started getting back into LPs last year. Just about all of the 180g pressings have sounded good. Some sound better than others but I definitely do like the sound of this one.

        I don't see any mention of Eddie Kramer having anything to do with this LP release. I don't know if he did or not but it's not advertised like it is on many of the other Experience Hendrix LLC releases.

        I think this is a great 2XLP set that sounds, as I already said, spectacular!

          I bought my copy brand new and both of the records had like a baby powder all over them. Once cleaned they did sound fine. Had to replace the inner sleeves. Anyone else have this problem with this release?

            My copy does have the same barcode BUT...manufactured in EU.
