Are You Experienced: US Edition (Vinyl)

The US edition of the Jimi Hendrix Experience's debut album was released later during 1967 when compared to the UK edition. It also featured an amended track listing, dropping songs like 'Red House' and 'Can You See Me 'and including 'The Wind Cried Mary' and 'Foxy Lady'.

"One of the most stunning debuts in rock history, and one of the definitive albums of the psychedelic era. 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. 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."
