Description
Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision is the latest in-depth project from Experience Hendrix, encompassing 3CD/ 1 Blu-Ray DVD of previously unreleased music Jimi Hendrix recorded at his newly created recording facility in 1970. The deluxe box set offers 39 tracks (38 previously unreleased) that were recorded by the new-look Experience (Billy Cox on bass, Mitch Mitchell on drums) at Electric Lady Studios between June and August of 1970, just before the legendary musician’s untimely death the following month. The project also includes 20 newly created 5.1 surround sound mixes of the entire First Rays Of The New Rising Sun album plus three bonus tracks [“Valleys Of Neptune,” “Pali Gap,” and “Lover Man”]. The Blu-ray includes the critically acclaimed, full-length documentary Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision. The film chronicles the creation of the studio, rising from the rubble of a bankrupt Manhattan nightclub to state-of-the-art recording facility inspired by Hendrix’s desire for a permanent studio. Directed by John McDermott and Produced by Janie Hendrix, George Scott and McDermott, the film features exclusive interviews with Steve Winwood [who joined Hendrix on the first night of recording at the new studio], Experience bassist Billy Cox, and original Electric Lady staff members who helped Hendrix realize his dream. The documentary includes never-before-seen footage and photos as well as track breakdowns of Hendrix classics such as “Freedom,” Angel” and “Dolly Dagger” by recording engineer Eddie Kramer. The package includes an extensive booklet filled with unpublished photos, Hendrix’s handwritten song drafts, and comprehensive liner notes.

Don't be frustrated, Renny. We don't even know what's going to be in this box yet.

Looks like we jumped the gun on Sony and they didn't want this to be out there yet. The listing pages at Amazon have been pulled. They'll be back, so hold onto your pre-orders and we'll watch and wait.

Anyway I am excited as a Hendrix fan that at last some unreleased studio material is coming out

Robert Meagher · 30 Sep 2006

Pre-ordered. Jimi must have been in the studio 24 - 7 ...so much material over such a short time.

I'm told that the 3CD/1BD box should be available for pre-order again by tomorrow, so keep an eye on this link:

I want a track list before considering anything.

A preliminary tracklist is now in the first post. More to come.

Yep, it's up now.

We also have the description in the first post, which reveals that the Blu-ray contains a 5.1 surround mix of First Rays Of The New Rising Sun plus bonus tracks -- this disc is worth the price of admission alone (for me, anyway

).

And it's worth it for me too (just placed my pre-order for the set). Thanks Linda!

I'm more than a bit frightened of loud mastering. I will probably wait until after release (The EL box was really awful sounding in my opinion. I know one person put it through reverse compression software to make it more listenable, though that software created some problems of it's own). And the 5.1's don't do me any good; hopefully they will also include 24 bit 2.0's.

"Room Full of Mirrors" in 5.1!!!! Worth it for that alone!

Currently the link states Temporarily Out Of Stock, but once they get that all squared away...cha-ching.

Linda · **Posted:** Fri Jan 14, 2022 12:06 am

Hang in there, everyWAN. It will be worth the wait.

Geff R. · 27 Sep 2006

I hope so. I sold my EL box at a loss because the 24 bit 2.0 was so poorly mastered & there was nothing else I really wanted it for.

I'm curious, Geff. With your vast movie collection, do you have a home theatre setup somewhere in your home -- something besides your audiophile 2.0 system -- that you could listen to 5.1 Blu-rays and DVDs on?

No. With my financial limitations, I feel I can have a very good 2.0 system, or a mid-fi 5.1.

SQ is more important to me than 5.1. That doesn't mean I am against the concept of 5.1

If I was wealthy, I would get a high end 5.1 system, but I don't expect that in this lifetime. As it is, my newest piece of audio gear is a 2011 Oppo 95.

On the bright side, the Oppo does have an auto fold down (5.1 to 2.0 feature) so I can watch film that only has a 5.1 soundtrack.

Mr Fuse · 01 Dec 2006

This just disappeared. Anyone know anything?

Sony insists that it hasn't been cancelled, but there's currently no pre-order listing or scheduled release date.
