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

I'll leave my other learned QQrs to give a full review of this iconic album but to my ears this is what I hoped it would be.

My little bat cave is rattling with pure pleasure.

I'm sure you will not be disappointed with this...I'm so happy

Mr Kramer

I take my hat off to you
For a first effort
You have produced a masterful
Even brilliant
Electrifying
Gem

 

[beerking]

Sorry Beatles and Jethro I'm gonna play this all day long...

Again and Again and Again.

Who me!!

If I wasn't going out tonight there may have been one or two drops of Scottish nectar passing my lips.

All Along the Watchtower in surround

Can it get any better?

Mr Kramer is true to the video I posted earlier, he said he got this weird sound going in 1968.

Weird...No it ain't.. This is the album of 2018

All Along the Watchtower in surround

You gotta give me something...guitars in rears? panning around the room? Are the vocals upfront or everywhere?

I might spoil it for everyone!!

But yes to most of what you asked.

I'm now watching the documentary (fascinating and in surround)

Now that is interesting...it's got no center. Sort of like the Alan Parsons approach.

LOL! Nice! Would we have expected anything other than that waveform?

And mine's stuck in Amazon's warehouse in Madrid and won't get it until Monday! Life's not fair (where's the icon for weeping bananas?)

To dial in my ears and brain with my coffee as I wait for the UPS van, I'm rocking Sly's Greatest Hits in quad.
Drums & bass isolated RR, no problem, the room is full of funky music.

This LP was where Jimi circled back to his R&B roots, brought Buddy Miles to the studio...
My old 'Nam combat vet friend told a great story of hearing Have You.. drifting out of a hooch in his jungle camp...
and thinking it must have been a new Temptations record...

To all the veterans and active service bagginnses, here comes your present for Armistice Day on the 11th, thanks from a grateful & hopeful world.
(Jimi was a paratrooper, met Billy Cox in the army...)

Mine has arrived, along with the other 2, as I'm now off my 2hr conference call, is it the Hendrix, Jethro Tull or Beatles to listen to first

Still waiting for mine, but I wanted to comment that even the cover makes me happy, as this was what was intended by Jimi for the original cover, and in particular he hated the UK cover, as in fact did the women who appeared in the photo. This is a great chance to make it all right. It only took 50 years!

I'd vote for Hendrix. First of him in real surround, ever. As soon as I get it, I'm going to play All along the Watchtower. Loud. Very loud.

 

[Daniel John]

I'm working from home today - waiting for the Amazon delivery (Prime's guaranteed to arrive today). I'll be doing some "enhanced" listening tonight - we're legal up here in the great white north now. Thanks to those who have posted reviews. Keep 'em coming...

That's the first thing I would do too. I'm real curious how the guitar solo sounds on "All along the Watchtower" in Surround.
