This album came out in 1967. It was reissued with 6 extra tracks on CD.

If this album was released today by a new artist , it would still have the same effect. The album is pure magic. Given the state of the art of recording in the late sixties it is incredible how fresh and groundbreaking this album sounds today.

From the opening sex rock of "Foxy Lady" , followed by the pop of "Manic Depression" then the blues of "Red House" to the psychedelic guitar extravaganza of "Third Stone From The Sun" and the title track this is a cornucopia of aural experience. How many of todays artists covered this range of styles so effortlessly and convincingly on their debut album. Also remeber that this was only a three piece band, with Noel Redding providing bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums.

The Cd includes three singles and their B sides, so you get "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze" and "The Wind Cries Mary" as well as the original album.

Other stands are the stereo phasing of "May This Be Love" an "Fire", but everyone probably has their own favourites.

This is an album that anyone who is into rock music should own.
Five inches of silver perfection.

Wouldn't agree with c/p on the Beatles, but Hendrix certainly made one of the ground-breaking albums of the era with this.

You see what i mean, Jimi Hendrix is still way ahead of anyone else and the Beatles just ain't.
