Finished off the 2nd LP of this great record. They did a great remastering of this album. Very different sound to the CD version I bought many years ago.

All the remastered Lps that Eddie Kramer was involved in came up trumps; however, I'm driving myself nuts since I listened to my first remastered copy of 'Axis...' last night, as the sound was unbelievable and so much better than the two 'old' copies I have of that album;I said to myself there's something different here... so I duly checked inside the booklet and then finally found what I was (not!!) looking for - it's remastered in the analogue domain from the original two track analogue tapes!??!!?. So my dilemma is to find out if all the new remasters are now remastered in the analogue domain for the first time.All my other remasters,as far as I can tell are remastered in the digital domain from the original two track tapes... and they sound fine,to tell the truth but after hearing and being blown away by 'Axis...' I'm beginning to wonder.
So tell me Dave is your copy of '...Ladyland' an analogue remaster??? I also noted when I was in Tower today that 'Band of Gypsies' is remastered from, you guessed it, from the original two track analogue masters, ARGH?!?!?!

EDIT: Just after checking the official site....Ladyland is all analogue too. Ho hum I'll have to get a copy now :-((

yes it's the analogue remaster. There was a sticker on the cover to say that.

Thanks for getting back to me. It is as I suspected. Why wasn't there an announcement made?!?! BTW if you ever come across the 8 Lp Hendrix box -I've seen it loads of time in Tower - get it, as the music/sound is unbelievable...and it mostly contains unreleased stuff except for some of the live tracks;but stock up on the official studio/live Lps first...

My Jimi contribution today....

I only have '..LadyLand'(cd/vinyl) and 'Are you Experienced'(cd only, will get the vinyl one soon). What are the pick of the remaining recordings?
