Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release

Looking forward to release tomorrow. In my humble opinion one of the greatest albums ever. Imagine hearing this album when it was released, Compositionally and technically from another time and place, truly ground breaking. Thanks Jimi!!!!!!!

Ihasaguy is incorrect.

Reprise never “recalled” the album because the nude cover was never released in the US. None exist. 

However, the nude cover was available in Europe on the Track and Barclay labels. 

Hendrix wanted a cover unlike the 2 that were actually issued and found the nude cover distasteful.

“Country Life” by Roxy Music also had a controversial cover way back when.

Today it’s just a ho hum pic.
