fixbutte 31st Mar 2014		Trivia: Needless to say, this Reprise issue didn't use the "naked lady" cover that Track Records had produced for the original UK release. The cover photo that Hendrix had expressly asked for, the group sitting with children on a sculpture from Alice in Wonderland in Central Park, is to be found in the booklet on page 17 (originally shot in color by Linda Eastman, soon-to-be McCartney). Like on the original US double LP, Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is misspelled on the CD, it should be Voodoo Chile (Slight Return). Gypsy Eyes was actually spelled Gipsy Eyes on the original UK release, Come On (Part 1) was just Come On without a suffix there.



fixbutte 31st Mar 2014		The CD release history of Electric Ladyland, even if confined to the US Reprise release, is rather complicated. It is pretty sure though that the first CD version was released in 1987 with the same cat# 6307-2 (and an additional 0001 and 0002 in parentheses on disc 1 and disc 2 respectively) and even with the same barcode as this issue, however in a double jewel case with two discs. The first one-CD issue came out in 1990 (month currently unknown), still with an additional (0001) on the only disc. The images of the booklet back, jewel case back and disc that plecostomus already had submitted, however, all bear an additional D-223362 and Mfd. for BMG Direct Marketing, Inc. under license, which was obviously a special Club Edition. I have now uploaded the images of the original one-CD version and moved the BMG images to the variants. I have also contributed the images of the 24 page booklet.



fixbutte 31st Mar 2014		In the vinyl era I had purchased a Jimi Hendrix 2-LP compilation discarded by a friend I but I had no original Hendrix album. I remember that I didn't buy Electric Ladyland in the 1970s because double albums were still very expensive in Germany. The same thing happened when the first CD version of Electric Ladyland came out in 1987 - it was only available as a double-priced double CD. In 1990, however, when US Reprise finally re-released the double album on a single CD of over 75 minutes running time, I was in the game.
