In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the release of the Jimi Hendrix Experience masterpiece Electric Ladyland, Experience Hendrix, LLC and Legacy.

's third and final album with the original found him taking his funk and psychedelic sounds to the absolute limit. The result was not only one of the best rock albums of the era, but also 's original musical vision at its absolute apex.

As an album this influential (and as far as influencing a generation of players and beyond, this was his ultimate statement for many), the highlights speak for themselves: 'Crosstown Traffic,' his reinterpretation of 's 'All Along the Watchtower,' 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp,' the spacy '1983.(A Merman I Should Turn to Be),' and 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return),' a landmark in 's playing.

With this double set (now on one compact disc), once again pushed the concept album to new horizons.
