I am in the amen corner of those who question the need for yet another remaster of the timeless Electric Ladyland. Does it really sound BETTER than the MCA remaster of several years ago? The answer is no. Then you ask, what do you get if you already own the MCA release that justifies forking out another ten dollars? The answer is not much. You get a DVD that you will watch once, maybe twice and you get a meaty booklet that differs only slightly from the one that came in the MCA package. Oh, the MCA release was packaged in a jewel box and this one comes in a six-panel digipak. BFD!
Anyway, I succumbed to the temptation to buy this and the two previous Jimi Hendrix albums in this format because of the price and in the case of the first one, the extras. But you get no extras here. So in a way, I poured a little money down the drain, but all things considered I will keep both this and the MCA package.
As for the music, anyone even looking at this CD/DVD set already knows how great most of it is so there is no need to add to what's been said so many times already. If there are any weak spots in this CD, I would have to choose the jivey Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland) and Little Miss Strange. Other than that, Hendrix and Co. are playing at their peak!
So, if you do not have the MCA remaster already, then I recommend this. If you do, then you alone have to decide whether or not you really need the DVD and a few different pictures.
