By 1968 Id seen Hendrix perform. An act that surpassed Arthur Brown for vaudeville and virtuosity. I dashed out and bought Electric Ladyland on day one. But, I still wasnt prepared. I had the other two albums, but this was music from the other side of the cosmos, played inside-out by all my blues guitar heros rolled into one. Inspired, astounding, awesome and other adjectives too numerous to mention. All Along The Watchtower is the diamond among the gems, an arrangement stamped with Hendrix style and heaped with praise by its author Dylan. Progressively comparable only, in my book, to Frank Zappa- a methodic yang to Hendrixs untamed yin. On first hearing him Zappa thought he was good, but too loud. Later, Hendrix gave FZ his burned-out strat. A surprising move for a guy who even took his guitar to the toilet to keep practicing. There was respect, although FZ showed no sentimentality and had the defunct axe rebuilt.
When Hendrix & Kramer released the Record Plant master tapes of Electric Ladyland to Reprise, a first-generation copy was also despatched to Track/Polydor in the UK. Aware that the swirling & phasing present on the recording would give concern to the metal mastering engineers, a warning was attached that the engineers should not attempt to reduce the effects and that they were intentional. Bearing in mind this was 1968 and the cosmic & spatial effects on the recording were likely in advance of anything the engineers were used to hearing. The request was duly followed by Polydors engineers, who were perhaps more in tune with this new wave of music, but ignored by those at Reprise who were probably more at home with Sinatra. First UK pressings (613008/9 and beyond) are bright and fresh, the US pressings (2RS 6307) are flat by comparison. Theres a rare 9-track UK book club taster release by Track/Polydor of this album too. Titled Electric Jimi Hendrix and pulled after 2 weeks in circulation (2856 002).
