LIMITED EDITION.
ARE YOU EXPERIENCED is the debut studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, released in May 1967. The album is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time. It features Jimi Hendrix's innovative approach to songwriting and electric guitar playing, which soon established a new direction in psychedelic and rock music as a whole. Hendrix signed a management and production contract in 1966 with former Animals member Chas Chandler and ex-Animals manager Michael Jeffery. Chandler brought Hendrix to London and recruited members for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, a band designed to showcase the guitarist's talents. The album was completed in sixteen recording sessions at three London locations: De Lane Lea Studios, CBS Studios, and Olympic Studios. Released in the UK on 12th May 1967, ARE YOU EXPERIENCED spent on the British charts and peak at number two. The album was issued in the US on 23rd August 1967 by Reprise Records, where it reached number five on the US chart. The US version contained some of Hendrix's best known songs, which, though omitted from the British edition of the LP, were top ten hits in the UK. In the decades since its release, ARE YOU EXPERIENCED has continue to receive acclaim. It's still a landmark recording because it is of the rock, R&B, blues and musical tradition.

A daring release from Purple Haze and quite a good idea to put out the first album without the addition of the singles and B-sides for once. Unfortunately for maniacs, the same error has been made here as on the 1992 re-release: "Red House" and "Can You See Me" are featured in their second release versions, initially only on the US Smash Hits, and not the original ARE YOU EXPERIENCED versions. This set is really aimed at true fans so it's a shame that more care wasn't taken in the compiling. The original mono mix might also have been a better idea. The bonus CD of outtakes is of obvious interest to collectors. The sound quality is excellent. Most recordings lack vocals as the band work to lay down mainly rhythm tracks. Many takes fall apart or cut out, but just about every sequence ends with a complete version carrying vocal and guitar overdubs. That "Red House" is in fact the original raw take of the version that went on to the first U.K. album. At the beginning, you can hear Chas say "Hey Jimi, do you want try that thing you were doing at the flat this afternoon?" Jimi and Chas were sharing a flat at the time. At the end of that historic blues you could hear Jimi say "How's that one?" and on this disc, like on the origianal mono ARE YOU EXPERIENCED you hear Chas reply "Great, I think we should put that on ..." This particular recording is without the slight vocal echo that Chas added to the album track. Chas remembered that Jimi was practically never without his guitar. He'd cook with it on, even go to the loo with it, because he liked the sound in there. Practice makes perfect.
