Product Description
This is one of those rare times... when you can almost judge a record by its' cover. From the title "Acid Blues Experience," to the front cover depicting Stoney Curtis caught live in the moment in front of a stack of amps, the listeners know to expect something special. The Stoney Curtis Band has been working the clubs between Los Angeles and Las Vegas for five years honing their own brand of psychedelic blues rock, readying their show for the road ahead. Heavily steeped in 60's/70's psychedelia, the Stoney Curtis Band has translated the energy of their phenomenal live show into the grooves of "Acid Blues Experience."

The first capture of the master of the guitar himself.......2005-03-30

Are You Experienced? (1967.), Jimi Hendrix's first studio album

'Are You Experienced' is the first album capture of the legend on the guitar himself. What Jimi Hendrix achieved in the 3 or so years at the top in the world of music before his all too tragic death in 1970 is truly phenominal. No-one has ever been able to play the guitar quite like Jimi Hendrix and you see it in this album all too plainly. You could literally take away Hendrix's vocals in his songs and just listen to his playing and you would still hear the song words - the sound he produces from his guitar is like a voice speaking to you - thats how good his playing was! 'Are You Experienced' is fast approaching being 40 years old in the next couple of years and it still hasn't and will never lose its appeal. This album is listened to across generations alike and I'm sure that will be the case for years to come - this is what has made so many people over the years pick up the guitar and learn to play. Hendrix's music is so influencial.

So, that's Hendrix, if you didn't probably know so already but the band he played in was the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Hendrix after not really enjoying too much success in the US in his really early years came to Britain and it was here he was discovered and really made his name. The two men who played with him in his band must not be overlooked. Mitch Mitchell was a more than capable drummer and Noel Redding, who sadly died a couple of years ago was an excellent bassist who provided the grounding for Hendrix to exert his brillaince. 'Are You Experienced' was the group's initial effort and it truly stands as one of the greatest debuts of all time as well as one of the greatest rock albums AND plenty of fans of Jimi Hendrix rate this one, along with Electric Ladyland as his best. The album contains the perfect fusion of styles. Jimi and his band give us a great dose of psychedelia in parts and then some real bluesy tunes also. Theres some good riffs in parts as well as some very catchy tunes and most of all, you hear the guitar played in a truly unique light.

Two issues of this classic album are available, a US edition which has a mustard coloured background with the band pictured in a circle in the centre and a UK edition which has a dark background with Jimi pictured in the centre with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell pictured to his left and right. DO NOT WORRY if you get either one of the editions as they both contain the same 17 amazing tracks but they are just arranged in a different order.

Highlights of the album??? Well maybe the whole thing is the fairest reflection! It is a real 60 minute treat. Hits 'Purple Haze' with its famous opening guitar sequence and 'Hey Joe' the slower paced, passionate rambler are both featured. 'Third Stone From the Sun' is my favourite track - this is 6 minutes of serious psychedelia, with some weird and thoughtful sections to it with another classic guitar sequence which you will have been bound to have heard before. 'Red House' will give you a taste of the blues and 'Manic Depression' has a great drum rolling style to it with some good lyrics. 'Foxey Lady' is another classic and don't forget 'Fire', for me one of the catchier tunes on the album with some more killer guitar work. 'Highway Chile' is brilliant, the guitar playing literally screams and leaps out at you when you hear it. 'Wind Cries Mary' calls the album home further with its amazing atmospheric style - the best lyrics on the album are in this one, for me anyway - this track has been covered by many artists over the years.

Hendrix made the guitar great and this album is a prime example. The Experience were a great trio of musicians overall and you see this clearly with this debut effort. This is personally one of my favourite albums in my collection and in my opinion should never be overlooked - it is way, way too good to be missed out on.

now that is talent.......2005-01-21

This CD is definetly worth buying. Hendrix's guitar playing and vocals just blew me away. The sad thing is though, is that he plays better than most modern music!! if you have heard some of todays rock like st.anger and hoobastank or midtown, but hendrix just blows them away. Definitly buy this awesome music

Hendrix takes the world by storm.......2004-05-01

Are You Experienced (1967.) Jimi Hendrix Experience's first album.

Jimi Hendrix. When one thinks of guitar masterminds, this guy automatically comes to mind. His style of playing was way ahead of its time, and his music never failed to please. Even to this day, many years after his death, his music is still enjoyed by rock and roll fans as much as ever. It was in 1967, along with his band the Jimi Hendrix Experience, that he released his first album - the appropriately-titled Are You Experienced. Read on for my review.

As you may have seen from the tracklist, many of Hendrix's big hits first appeared on this album. Among these is his biggest hit of all, Purple Haze. This is one of the earliest truly successful hard rock songs, and it's been a huge influence to various rock stars - beautifully demonstrated by the number of times it has been covered over the years. Hey Joe, another big hit, is a much more bluesy number, but it's no less excellent than Purple Haze. Fire and Foxey Lady also became huge hits, and why not? They're regular masterpieces. The last of the fairly popular songs is The Wind Cries Mary, which is a slower track. It's the least-known of the hits, but still excellent. And then we have the songs that were never hits at all, but still won't fail to please listeners. Among these we have the rocker Manic Depression, the lengthy Third Stone From The Sun, and, of course, the title track. In the end, this album stands as a hard rock masterpiece.

This compact disc reissue of the album does more than just remaster it - it adds six bonus tracks. Tracks 1-11 were the original album, and tracks 12-17 are bonuses. Many of these tracks were released as B-Sides to Hendrix's singles. For being B-Sides, these are remarkably good. What's astonishing is that they don't disrupt the "flow" of the regular album at all. The original album was sequenced almost perfectly, and it fades into these bonus tracks very well - if you're a casual Hendrix listener, you might not even know that these weren't on the original LP! I really wish the record company would have made it more clear which songs are B-Sides and which ones were original album tracks, but I'm not complaining.

Jimi Hendrix is a guitar god, and his first album stands as solid proof of that. While not necessarily his best (it's hard to play favorites with this guy), it is still excellent. If you're a fan of classic and/or hard rock, do not hesitate to purchase this album!

Grab them while you can..i did =-) !!.......2001-03-19

Finally the closest reproduction of the original album that take us into the sonic mayhem/paradise of the Jimi Hendrix Experience thirty years ago! This deluxe mini-LP style album restored the original song order & cover arts on this ground-breaking disk as it debuted in Europe on May 12, 1967! The remastered sound on the disk reveals clearly the perfectly tight/raw musicial interaction in the group: the frantic furies of Mitch's chops, Noel's pumping basslines, and Jimi's intense guitar work. This edition also faithfully reproduced the LP feel in the form of double-sided sleeves (great snap shots at Jimi, Noel, Mitch) && protective plastic disk casing. The $$ is worth it, friends..Indeed an excellent item for the collector and/or music lover!

**Worthy to note for those who read Japanese, there is a handy information booklet that discusses this project and introduced each member of this exciting trio!

~~@@a funny little side-story of mine: in my situation, my album was badly scratched and damaged (burnt?..j/k) during my many Experience jam sessions..boy, the music just makes the normal human go so crazy! ..glad i didn't have a guitar with me back then..heehee, therefore, I purchase this edition for replacement and definately this is the keeper, baby! I never looked back since..=-)
