Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.
As with quite a few editions of ‘Electric Ladyland’, the track listing gets confusing, due to incorrect labelling of each Side. The correct running order is just as it states on the front cover of this pressing.
Side 1:
And The Gods Made Love
Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)
Crosstown Traffic
Voodoo Chile
Side 2:
Little Miss Strange
Long Hot Summer Night
Come On (Let The Good Times Roll)
Gypsy Eyes
The Burning Of The Midnight Lamp
Side 3:
Rainy Day, Dream Away
1983… (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)
Moon, Turn The Tides… Gently Gently Away
Side 4:
Still Raining, Still Dreaming
House Burning Down
All Along The Watchtower
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

Not only one of the best rock albums of the era, but also Hendrix's original musical vision at its absolute apex. Jimi Hendrix's third and final album with the original Experience found him taking his funk and psychedelic sounds to the absolute limit. The result was not only one of the best rock albums of the era, but also Hendrix's original musical vision at its absolute apex. When revisionist rock critics refer to him as the maker of a generation's mightiest dope music, this is the album they're referring to. But Electric Ladyland is so much more than just background music for chemical intake. Kudos to engineer Eddie Kramer for taking Hendrix's visions of a soundscape behind his music and giving it all context, experimenting with odd mic techniques, echo, backward tape, flanging, and chorusing, all new techniques at the time, at least the way they're used here. What Hendrix sonically achieved on this record expanded the concept of what could be gotten out of a modern recording studio in much the same manner as Phil Spector had done a decade before with his Wall of Sound. As an album this influential (and as far as influencing a generation of players and beyond, this was his ultimate statement for many), the highlights speak for themselves: "Crosstown Traffic," his reinterpretation of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower," "Burning of the Midnight Lamp," the spacy "1983...(A Merman I Should Turn to Be)," and "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)," a landmark in Hendrix's playing. With this double set, Hendrix once again pushed the concept album to new horizons.

The amazing song-writing, guitar playing, vocals and production of the legendary Jimi Hendrix at his absolute peak! An utterly brilliant recording, 'Electric Ladyland' is host to 16 of the most enduring Jimi Hendrix classics, including: "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"; "Crosstown Traffic"; "Gypsy Eyes"; and "All Along the Watchtower."Albums don't get more “classic” than this... Originally released way back in '68, 'Electric Ladyland' still sounds phenomenal in this day and age! Featuring the amazing song-writing, guitar playing, vocals and production of the legendary Jimi Hendrix at his absolute peak, 'Electric Ladyland' is a landmark, innovative, historic double album of incredible music. One word says it all -- Essential!!!
