Axis: Bold as Love is the second studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was released on Track Records in the UK in December 1967, as a follow-up to the successful debut of their May 1967 album Are You Experienced. It reached number five in the UK and number three in the US.

The album was recorded to fulfill the Experience's contract, which stated that they must produce two albums in 1967. Even so, it was not released in the US until 1968 due to fears that it might disturb the sales of the first album. Just before the album's completion, Hendrix left the master tapes of side one in a taxi. They were never found again, and thus the A-side had to be mixed again quickly. Track released Axis: Bold as Love in the UK on December 1, 1967, where it peaked at number five, spending 16 weeks on the charts. In February 1968, it reached number three in the US. Axis: Bold As Love's scheduled release date was almost delayed when Hendrix lost the master tape of side one of the LP, leaving it in the back seat of a London taxi. With the deadline looming, Hendrix, Chas Chandler, and engineer Eddie Kramer remixed most of side one in a single overnight session, but they could not match the quality of the lost mix of "If 6 Was 9". Bassist Noel Redding had a tape recording of this mix, which had to be smoothed out with an iron as it had gotten wrinkled. During the verses, Hendrix doubled his singing with a guitar line which he played one octave lower than his vocals. Hendrix voiced his disappointment about having re-mixed the album so quickly, and he felt that it could have been better had they been given more time.

The last recording by Jimi Hendrix to have a dedicated Stereo / Mono mix, which was only released in the UK and US
