Jimi Hendrix: Records
built 128 days ago
Interest in Hendrix waned somewhat during the 1980s, but with the advent of the compact disc, Polygram and Warner-Reprise began reissuing many Hendrix recordings on CD in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The earliest Polygram reissues were of a poor standard and Electric Ladyland suffered particularly, being evidently a direct transfer from the existing LP masters, with the tracks placed out of their correct order. This reflected the original LP running order, an artifact of the days when double-LPs were pressed with sides one and three on one LP and sides two and four on the other, so that the records could be placed on an automatic changer and played through in sequence by turning them over only once.

Hendrix spent only four weeks recording in Electric Lady, most of which took place while the final phases of construction were still ongoing. An opening party was held on August 26, following a recording/dubbing session that generated his last studio recorded song, Belly Button Window.

Jimi signs another exclusive recording deal, this time with Curtis Knight's recording manager, Ed Chalpin of PPX Records. Knight and Hendrix record several studio and live sessions over the next few months.
