DUE SOON From the wreckage of Free came Bad Company, the English hard rock supergroup fronted by singer Paul Rodgers and featuring his drummer bandmate Simon Kirke, Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs, and King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell.There is an inevitable degree of surface noise between the tracks and occasionally during quieter passages. The album features Jimi Hendrix's innovative approach to songwriting and electric guitar playing which soon established a new direction in psychedelic and hard rock music. Thanks to the quality of sixties vinyl pressings from this period, the mono playback does not stray. We’ve taken this classic and given it the full Analogue Productions reissue treatment, featuring a remaster by Germany’s Willem Makkee from the original analog tapes, and plating and 180-gram pressing by Quality Record Pressings.

From the lead-in groove to the run-out groove, there is no pitch to the profile, allowing your stylus to play truly perpendicular to the grooves from edge to center.It wouldn't have meant much, however, without his excellent material, whether psychedelic frenzy ("Foxey Lady," "Manic Depression," "Purple Haze"), instrumental freak-out jams ("Third Stone from the Sun"), blues ("Hey Joe"), or tender, poetic compositions ("The Wind Cries Mary") that demonstrated the breadth of his songwriting talents. The double vinyl is in excellent condition, very faint spindle mark, back ground noise in places and minor/no surface marks on vinyl, looks unplayed. Since these were 4 track recordings the results were not really “stereo” but the panned presentation was perfect for the material and compared to the staid original the music jumped from the grooves, flashing like a neon sign across the soundstage, though the extreme compression applied to both make it "pop" more than the staid U. Johnson at Skywalker Sound in Marin County, California, Break The Chain brings twelve new MacLeod originals. While recording, the future working relationship between engineer Eddie Kramer and Hendrix was forged.

His Dylanesque vocals and spacey imagery make each tune a little gem, especially on gentle outings such as the ballad "The Wind Cries Mary". When it was first released in 1967, Are You Experienced turned the music world upside down, as Hendrix showed everyone exactly what it meant to be “experienced.Every UHQR is hand-inspected upon pressing completion, and only the truly flawless are allowed to go to market. It was of course the perfect expression of guitar-crazy freedom and psychedelic awareness craved by an about to be liberated and lifted generation. Every UHQR will be hand inspected upon pressing completion, and only the truly flawless will be allowed to go to market. These records will feature the same flat profile that helped to make the original UHQR so desirable.

The 200-gram records feature the same flat profile that helped to make the original UHQR so desirable.The original UK release is great but the added singles on the second disc to make it a double album (US release I think) make it a real classic.
