The fabulous JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE
ORIGINAL "STEAMBOAT" REPRISE RECORDS
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
AXIS BOLD AS LOVE
USA - STEAMBOAT REPRISE RECORDS - RS 6281
Gotten scarce in decent collectible shape, like this... highly sought after 1968 first pressing on the legendary STEAMBOAT Reprise label of the sixties -- 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.

CONDITION: The cover is well preserved, nice...VG++ only a little bit of light shelf wear, minor, nothing that would make anyone interested to put it back in the bins ... no split seams, no bends and no writing ...after 42 years the colors are bright and sharp....
The vinyl is all glossy and shiny VG++ to "EX" (excellent) with only a few very minor little soft hairline scuffs, plays very enjoyable...
