Description ‘Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision’ is an in-depth project from Experience Hendrix, encompassing 5LP/1 Blu-ray 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 The package includes an extensive booklet filled with unpublished photos, Hendrix’s handwritten song drafts, and comprehensive liner notes. Tracklisting Disc 11.
