Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 82/500!
TAS Recommended! Rated a 'Best Audiophile Label Recording' in the November 2009 issue of The Absolute Sound!
After the U.S. release of Are You Experienced and American tour dates that left jaws dropped, anticipation was very high about the next Jimi Hendrix album. Many fans and critics now consider this follow-up, Axis: Bold As Love, his best collective effort. Released in November of 1968, it immediately garnered high praise for its incredible performances and innovative engineering by Eddie Kramer. The album was to spawn many hits including Up From the Skies, If 6 Was 9, Spanish Castle Magic, Little Wing and Castles Made of Sand, among others. Again joined by Noel Redding's bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums, it is exclusively presented here by Classic on 200 gram vinyl and mastered directly from the original MONO master tapes. Original 1968 mono copies of this title on Reprise, bring as much as a staggering $1400 to $2000 if they can be found!
"...Axis is a leisurely, bluesy jewel; Hendrix slowed down on "Little Wing" and "If 6 Was 9" to allow his guitar space to breathe as well as burn. " 'Little Wing' is like one of these beautiful girls that come around sometimes," he said. "They might be spaced, they might be kinda strung out. But everybody has a right to . . . their beliefs, if they want to believe that a star is purple, or whatever." Like Hendrix, Axis was cryptic and bewitching." - rollingstone
