The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Winterland 8-LP 12" 180g Vinyl

The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Winterland 8-LP 12" 180g Vinyl

Winterland is drawn from six stellar shows recorded over three days (October 10, 11 and 12, 1968) at San Francisco's historic Winterland Ballroom. These special performances celebrated the two year anniversary of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and came just as the groundbreaking album Electric Ladyland was released.

Winterland presents some of Hendrix’s most spectacular guitar work and the eight 12" vinyl LP set (also available as four CD set) is filled with rare live versions of classic songs such as "Manic Depression," "Are You Experienced?," "Tax Free," and "Little Wing" that are not part of any other Sony Legacy release. Fans will also enjoy Hendrix’s dramatic interpretations of Cream’s "Sunshine Of Your Love" and Howlin’ Wolf’s "Killing Floor" [with the Experience joined by Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady] as well his rendition of Bob Dylan’s "Like A Rolling Stone," which has been selected as the lead track for this special release.

This limited edition 8-LP, 180-gram audiophile release will be pressed at RTI's world-class facility in Camarillo, California and will feature never before released music from each of the six unforgettable Winterland performances. The new standard and deluxe editions of Winterland are markedly different from a single disc compilation, long out of print, that was briefly issued by Rykodisc in 1987 and 1988. Each of the first 5,000 copies of the vinyl edition of Winterland will also be individually crash numbered.

The deluxe edition also presents a rare interview with Hendrix recorded backstage at the Boston Garden a few weeks after the Winterland performances. This previously unreleased bonus provides fans with a unique window into Hendrix’s views about his background, his approach to the guitar and songwriting and future direction of his music.

Jimi Hendrix: Hendrix in the West 2-LP 12" 200g Vinyl

Consisting of live material recorded at venues ranging from the Berkeley Community Theatre, San Diego Sports Arena, Winterland Ballroom, to the Isle of Wight Festival, Hendrix In The West captures the guitarist exploring new directions in sound during 1969-70. Robert Christgau, the Dean of American Rock Critics, called Hendrix's versions of "Red House" and, "Johnny B. Goode" on this album "definitive." Out of print in the U.S. since 1974 and for more than two decades internationally, Hendrix In The West has remained one of the most requested albums by fans to return to the commercial marketplace. Mastered from the original sources and pressed on high-quality 200-gram audiophile grade vinyl at the new world-class Quality Record Pressings facility in Salinas, Kansas; and up to the same stellar standards as fellow Experience Hendrix / Legacy Recordings' reissues of Jimi Hendrix's groundbreaking studio efforts, the record has never sounded or looked better. Each of the first 5,000 copies of the vinyl edition of Hendrix In The West will also be individually crash numbered. The album's iconic cover features a classic Jim Marshall photograph of the guitarist, while a lavish booklet is filled with rare and previously unseen images captured by Marshall's distinctive lens. Moreover, listeners get to discover five previously unavailable bonus tracks that, believe it or not, add on to Hendrix's considerable legacy. In addition to the Chuck Berry cover, Hendrix also re-imagines the Beatles ("Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band") and Carl Perkins ("Blue Suede Shoes"). This expanded edition of Hendrix In The West is also available as a single CD digipak.
