Record of the Day – 006: Are You Experienced?

This one is a mega classic, albeit a bit before my time. However, I think many of us can agree that Hendrix’ debut, released in May 1967 was not only one of the greatest, but most successful rock records of all time.

The low distortion of the Acoustic Sounds pressing is thought by many collectors to be the finest rendition of this album, and the lack of tracking error in the Bergmann Thor linear tracking arm has Jimi’s guitar growling like never before.

Are You Experienced? is nearly 40 minutes of non stop energy, whether you have the 38:34 UK version or the 39:29 US version. Regardless of which pressing you have, this is a great album to enjoy start to finish.
