5.0 out of 5 stars One of Jimi's Best, March 13, 2010

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Electric Ladyland (2 Vinyl) (Vinyl)

I have owned the original Reprise release for many years until it got to a point to where I could not listen to the vinyl. The 2 vinyl version is the best way to hear Jimi Hendrix's guitar work and his vision of each song on the album.

I purchased the CD version and it is alright,but lacks the true distortion and the sound effects going from one speaker to another.

If you can get the vinyl version, GRAB IT1 you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Analog remaster is different but still good, April 1, 2010

This review is from: Electric Ladyland (2 Vinyl) (Vinyl)

The cover sticker promises an all-analog remaster by Jimi's original engineer (Eddie Kramer). It's two nice slabs of 180g vinyl and probably about the only way you can get a copy of Electric Ladyland in analog sound with no pops or crackles. This does have a bright clear sound, and I noticed a lot of detail I never noticed on my old Reprise vinyl copy. Still, this new version doesn't top the original -- analog or not, it's actually a bit too bright-sounding. I'm thinking Eddie Kramer at his age has likely lost some high end on his hearing, and so the new master seems to compensate by bringing out that sound -- it's not remixed, but somehow it accents the high end more. But as a Hendrix nut, I view this as an interesting "retake" -- a new way to hear an old favorite album. I know I'll go back to my Reprise copy more than this one, but I'm glad to have this one.

I just got it! I have been waiting this moment for over 30 years! Yes, the all analog mastering has it all, and pressing is excellent. The sound is from another planet than in CD. Just feel the magic of Jimi Hendrix on vinyl!

Regards, Hendrix for ever...
