Jimi Hendrix - "Electric Ladyland" (50th Anniversary Edition with new 5.1 mix on Blu-Ray) 11/9/2018

Ok. I’m halfway through “Voodoo Chile”. This sounds great so far! I can’t crank it loud enough.

I can’t believe I just spend the last 90 minutes listening to a 5.1 of the White Album and now I’m spending the next hour or so listening to this!!

you know? I wish we had a direct line to the ones that are notere anymore so that we could tell them all of this... but then .. they are probably hanging around and enjoying it!

let me say it again so it can sink in our community..
WE
ARE
SO
LUCKY!!!

Wow just outstanding so clear such a great job. Who would have thought I could spend an evening listening to 1968 music in surround? I just enjoyed what Kramer did with this he did not let us down. Im feeling sad about the fires here some friends of mine just moved out of their family home in Newberry Park maybe two weeks ago and it burned down to the ground last night.....I was just there a month ago. Still they are ok and got all their stuff out......now where is that bong and back to Jimi....
We are lucky and not just with music tonight.

I’m at “1983”. This is a trip!

This is going to be a “10” for sure. I’m over the moon with this mix!

It's not the same doc on the old Classic Albums DVD is it?

It is but a longer version I believe.

 

[dobyblue]

Listen to the isolated centre of Crosstown Traffic, weird!!!!

 

[key_wiz]

OMG. I never knew I liked this album this much!

Wait, I never did. It was always a little too trippy for me and I never really got into it as much as the first two.

This is the first time it really makes sense to me! This album was meant to be in surround!

 

[jefe1]

Some happy people in the world tonight.

So ship it back. Mine arrived from AmazonUS today in one of those thin, ever so slightly padded envelopes but arrived intact ...... in the pouring rain. Enjoy Bohemian Rhapsody. Supposedly, Rami Malek did an incredible job. Should be awesome in Dolby Atmos.

I think you'll be happy with the 5.1 remix of Electric Ladyland. Am about to 'treat' it and slip it into one of my Japanese poly sleeves for further protection against scratches [then demagnetize it and damper it]. I'm a FULL SERVICE audiophile, Markie! It's in my DNA!

OK, OK, I am sending back, this was hard because I wanted to listen, but also this was not cheap.

Some lucky sucker will 'scoff' it up for 1/2 price in one of Amazon's warehouse deals. It's a nice package altogether but don't expect too much from the 'bootleg recorded' Live @ the Hollywood Bowl RBCD.

Wow Watchtower sounds fantastic!

 

[Snood]

My Amazon Electric Lady order arrived bent lower left corner, Amazon isn't what it used to be at least my White Album coming from CDJapan will be pristine. No time to listen going to see Bohemian.

Send back for replacement - it easy it free and it will teach Amazon to pack it better

it will teach Amazon to pack it better

They never learn…

I let out the cat,and there it was on the porch!Had given up delivery today,cause the tracking just said "on it's way"
Will blast it out later this afternoon.

 

[drphibes]

What a week. I'm getting a kick out of this one too. Wee!

Hope Jimmy Page is enjoying this box set. I hope Mick Jagger senses he's been topped (again) by the Beatles with their 50th box.

KUDOS to Eddie Kramer for doing justice to the excellent 5.1 Remix of Jimi Hendrix's masterpiece Electric Ladyland. As Far as I'm concerned, a definitive tribute from the original multitracks.

 

[Daniel John]

I gave the 5.1 mix a serious listen last night. For starters, the album (Jimi's best in my mind) is a hard rock, funk, R&B, psychedelic masterpiece and the surround mix brings it over the top. Lot's of never done before experimentation going on here. So diverse in styles yet still cohesive. The use of flange, analog delay, reverse multi-tracking on the guitar parts and other instruments is way ahead of its time. Now remixed to surround format...wow....it doesn't get any better. It's as if Jimi knew his music was destined for the format that we all love. I'm giving this a 10.

 

[oxenholme]

This is the first time that I've ever enjoyed anything by Jimi. Wow! What a mix. Excellent.

Watching on TV now, Classic Albums: The Making Of Electric Ladyland.
Edit: after watching I can see that Eddie Kramer was familiar with every single everything on the control board, of course he would be the one to mix the new 50th Anniversary.
