Notes: - As was common with some multi-LP albums, sides one and four were pressed back to back on the same platter, likewise sides two and three. This was called "auto-coupling" or "automatic sequence" and was intended to make it easier to play through the entire album in sequence on automatic record-changers. In this case it has led to some CD releases of Electric Ladyland that have the sides in the incorrect one-four-two-three order.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music".[1]
Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army and trained as a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division; he was granted an honorable discharge the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the chitlin' circuit, earning a place in the Isley Brothers' backing band and later with Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. He then played with Curtis Knight and the Squires before moving to England in late 1966 after being discovered by Linda Keith, who in turn interested bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals in becoming his first manager. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", and "The Wind Cries Mary". He achieved fame in the US after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the US; it was Hendrix's most commercially successful release and his first and only number one album. The world's highest-paid performer, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 before his accidental death from barbiturate-related asphyxia on September 18, 1970, at the age of 27.
Hendrix was inspired musically by American rock and roll and electric blues. He favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in utilizing the previously undesirable sounds caused by guitar amplifier feedback. He helped to popularize the use of a wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, and was the first artist to use stereophonic phasing effects in music recordings. Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone commented: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began."[2]
Hendrix was the recipient of several music awards during his lifetime and posthumously. In 1967, readers of Melody Maker voted him the Pop Musician of the Year, and in 1968, Rolling Stone declared him the Performer of the Year. Disc and Music Echo honored him with the World Top Musician of 1969 and in 1970, Guitar Player named him the Rock Guitarist of the Year. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Rolling Stone ranked the band's three studio albums, Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electric Ladyland, among the 100 greatest albums of all time, and they ranked Hendrix as the greatest guitarist and the sixth greatest artist of all time.
Hendrix sucks. Most overrated rock and roller of all time.

Showtime has a documentary called “Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church” that I will see on Wed. Meanwhile, I have a rough cut of our second rocumentary, “Ither Walls 2 Fall,” about rock music vs oppression, this time in the Middle East, featuring Yanni, Busta Rhymes, Clint Black, a heavy metal band inside Tehran, a Cambodian rapper on his country’s death list, and tow “kid bands” as the try to play their music and make it under a variety of circumstances.
I wanna hear the heavy metal band out of Iran I bet they sound awesome.
I am glad I read it before posting. I immediately noticed 1983 was in the wrong place. I forgot about disk changers and all that.
opinions are like......well I am sure you know the rest
Doesn't suck.....just overrated.
1983 is a very eerie song, especially after one to many.
Thanks for posting, as someone with a too large of a guitar collection :), Hendrix is one of my favorites,
I usually warm up with wind cry’s Mary or his version of ‘like a rolling stone’ live from Monterrey
I picked up a nice vinyl copy of Axis Bold as Love and listened to that album for the very first time a few weeks ago. That is an excellent album.
Greatest guitar player, at least the greatest I’d say post-1965.
Sometimes I think of those albums that came out when the JH Experience came out, albums like Sgt. Peppers, the Doors and so on. I’ve got to think Jimi Hendrix’s music really is the best. But that is just my view.

“DELETED BY YOUTUBE”
The increased traffic must have attracted attention.
After the notice appeared Youtube then proceeded to begin playing one of the tracks. So, give it another try and see if it also works for you.
Yes that one is less known. Some nice less distorted "Little Wing" sounding guitars. Hard to believe he recorded most of that album on LSD. The badass bass on "If 6 was 9" was Jimi. Of course he put down the bass on many of his recordings
My ex husband and his band out of Newport News, VA toured with Hendrix one year. They were the opening act.
Thanks, nice story.
