UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING CHINA STRIKES EXCLUSIVE, GLOBAL PUBLISHING DEAL WITH RYCE PUBLISHING.The British and American versions of the album differed substantially when they were initially released in 1967 MCA's 17-song CD reissue does everyone a favor by gathering all of the material from the two records in one place, adding a few B-sides from early singles, as well. Many of these songs are among Hendrix's very finest it may be true that he would continue to develop at a rapid pace throughout the rest of his brief career, but he would never surpass his first LP in terms of consistently high quality. Not to be underestimated were the contributions of drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding, who gave the music a rhythmic pulse that fused parts of rock and improvised jazz. 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 ('Red House,' 'Hey Joe'), or tender, poetic compositions ('The Wind Cries Mary') that demonstrated the breadth of his songwriting talents. It was his mind-boggling guitar work, of course, that got most of the ink, building upon the experiments of British innovators like Jeff Beck and Pete Townshend to chart new sonic territories in feedback, distortion, and sheer volume. On Are You Experienced?, Jimi Hendrix synthesized various elements of the cutting edge of 1967 rock into music that sounded both futuristic and rooted in the best traditions of rock, blues, pop, and soul. One of the most stunning debuts in rock history, and one of the definitive albums of the psychedelic era. (4, San Diego Sports Arena, San Diego, CA)
