It was probably Jimi� s most creative period where he included several guest musicians, showing that his creativity was growing. The Album was recorded both in The States and England, during a hectic tour period. It is amazing due to that kind of schedule that the album came out intact and has stood the test of time. The Album covers differ in England and USA. The UK version has a naked ladies cover and was used for its shocking effect rather than for the albums title. Jimi himself was not happy with it. But today its the cover that everbody associates it to. The US version contains much more detailed information. In the UK the album was distributed with alternatives, firstly the release of Electric Jimi Hendrix with sides 2 and 4 and was only available by mail order. This was deleted almost immediately and replaced with Electric Ladyland Pt 1 and Pt 2. |
