Vinyl Spins - Jimi

I'm cleaning up my third floor music room and it's going to take some time so it's a good opportunity to play some old records. I bought the Electric Ladyland album when it was released in October 1968, played it countless times and it still sounds... perfect.

This was always my favorite Hendrix album top to bottom. I especially loved some of the less radio played songs such as Gypsy Eyes, Burning Of The Midnight Lamp, Come On, Have You Ever Been, and Rainy Day, Dream Away. Of course the hits were amazing; Purple Haze, All Along The Watchtower, Crosstown Traffic, etc. Everything on that album was great. It was also a 2 LP set which meant getting up and putting it on the turntable four times. We've become spoiled now with our CDs and even more so with iPod playlists playing entire albums and more.
