From the official JH site,

"Blue Wild Angel features both a stereo and 5.1 audio surround soundtrack mixed by Hendrix’s original recording engineer Eddie Kramer."

I don't get why most labels are so secretive about the bit rate/sampling freq for blu ray MUSIC. That's the main reason to spend the extra dollars over dvd.

Rhetorical question: Are they really THAT STUPID? :lol:
