Description
The Jimi Hendrix Experience / Axis: Bold As Love - Classic/Track Records R-6281 (2000)(USA) ...This auction is for an original, Promotional Record on high-quality (180gram) Audiophile vinyl. This Monaural (Mono) Test Pressing record was manufactured at RTI (Record Technology Inc.) for the superior quality remastering done from Classic Records [and Experience Hendrix]. Also included will be the high quality standard [Classic/Track Record label] edition record pressing in a plain black sleeve (pictured).
Jimi Hendrix's second album followed up his groundbreaking debut effort with a solid collection of great tunes and great interactive playing between himself, his band and the recording studio itself. Wisely retaining his manager to produce the album and Eddie Kramer as engineer, Hendrix stretched further musically than the first album, but even more so as a songwriter.
He was still quite capable of coming up with spacy rockers like "You Got Me Floating," "Up from the Skies," and "Little Miss Lover," radio-ready to follow on the commercial heels of "Foxey Lady" and "Purple Haze." But the beautiful, wistful ballads "Little Wing," "Castles Made of Sand," "One Rainy Wish," and the title track set closer show remarkable growth and depth as a tunesmith, harnessing Curtis Mayfield soul guitar to Dylanesque lyrical imagery and Fuzz Face hyperactivity to produce yet another side to his grand psychedelic musical vision.

AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE was the follow-up to ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?, and represented a much more conscious use of the recording studio's possibilities. Where his live shows continued to showcase the raw rocking power of the Experience, the recording studio gave Hendrix the composer/arranger a broader palette. There are still plenty of powerful blues/rock-inflected songs, such as the menacing "If 6 Was 9," the rolling "Spanish Castle Magic" and the spatial title tune. But "Up from the Skies" is a jazzy trio romp, featuring Hendrix's bluesy, vocalized wah-wah pedal. And on the ballads "Little Wing" and "Castles Made of Sand," Hendrix shifts the focus from the band to the silvery chord/melody accompaniments he often employed to complement his vocals. They are an orchestral effect unto themselves.
Editorial Reviews
Ranked #7 in Mojo's The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time - Far out indeed.
Mojo
...for folks who've never heard Jimi on vinyl, the rainbow fantasia world of Hendrix awaits you in all its polyphonic peacock glory....
Vibe (19940201)
4 1/2 stars (out of 5) - ...pales only slightly in comparison [to ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?]...
Down Beat (19970801)
4 Stars (out of 5) - ...AXIS dazzles as the Experience creates a genre probably short-lived because nobody else could play it: jazz metal might be the appropiate tag...
Q (19931201)
Ranked #82 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time - ...Like Hendrix, AXIS was cryptic and bewitching...
