The album features classics such as \"\u003cem\u003eSpanish Castle Magic\u003c\/em\u003e,\" \"\u003cem\u003eLittle Wing\u003c\/em\u003e,\" \"\u003cem\u003eCastles Made Of Sand\u003c\/em\u003e,\" and \"\u003cem\u003eIf 6 Was 9\u003c\/em\u003e.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e states, Jimi Hendrix was the most innovative instrumental genius the rock era produced, a wizard guitar player whose sense of technique never overwhelmed the blues and rock 'n' roll spirit that was the underpinning of his genius. He improvised with the fervour of a born jazzman; he philosophized like the most cosmic rocker, but ultimately his basics were rooted in soul, a reflection of the chitlin circuit, where he cut his teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the possible exception of Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience was debatably the world's finest-ever power trio. \u003cem\u003eAxis\u003c\/em\u003e was a showcase for Jimi's brash, scintillating songs and the grasp that Jimi and his cohorts — \u003cstrong\u003eMitch Mitchell\u003c\/strong\u003e on drums and \u003cstrong\u003eNoel Redding\u003c\/strong\u003e on bass — had on the studio technology at their disposal, and the lyrical beauty of Hendrix's guitar playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \"The most lasting song for many is the awe-inspiring '\u003cem\u003eLittle Wing\u003c\/em\u003e.' With its perfect blend of lead and rhythm guitar (the song's introductory phrases blurred the line forever between the two), the tune is a pure, simple thing of beauty ... In true 1967 style, the production on \u003cem\u003eAxis\u003c\/em\u003e is superb. Jimi never sounded as vulnerable and accessible, vocally and instrumentally, while the analog thud of Mitch Mitchell and the solid basslines of Redding were the ultimate rhythm section of the day — with a nod, of course, to Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, their only rivals in so many respects.\" \u003cbr\u003e— \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Clarity Vinyl:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl is not black in its pure state. The off-white colour of the record you are about to listen to is the colour of raw vinyl in its \u003cstrong\u003epurest form\u003c\/strong\u003e (un-tinted vinyl). The black colour you're used to seeing is a colorant called \"carbon black\" that was part of the original compound formulation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make the ultimate record, we decided to enhance sound quality by removing anything we believed could detract from it. Record styli vibrate (or jitter) on a microscopic level, and any particles of carbon black pigment that happen to be on the surface of the groove could introduce surface noise. By not adding carbon black to our Clarity Vinyl, we eliminate the possibility of noise contamination due to carbon black particles. Instead, your stylus is allowed to effortlessly slide down a glossy and silky smooth groove wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we purchased Classic Records, the brand name Clarity Vinyl came with it. We're proud to have resurrected, refined and trademarked Clarity Vinyl, the perfect canvas for our masterpiece: vinyl in its purest form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analogue Productions","offers":[{"title":"2LP (45RPM) - 200g UHQR Clarity Vinyl in Clamshell Box","offer_id":58706608718169,"sku":"SDZ-49398","price":229.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/PID-29084-96-001.png?v=1785168441","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/the-jimi-hendrix-experience-axis-bold-as-love-stereo-version-analogue-productions-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
