All of the above is packaged in a luxe casemade lift top box with new cover art which is true to Hendrix's original vision of the album's cover: a Linda (McCartney) Eastman photograph of the band and children at the statue of Alice In Wonderland in New York's Central Park.
"...There's a 90-minute documentary on the making of the landmark album...making this an irresistible "get" for Hendrix aficionados and completists....Remixed by the album's original engineer Eddie Kramer in 5.1 surround sound and remastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes in 96/24 high resolution, Electric Ladyland still sounds like a message from the future. From the epic "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" to the wah-wah-soaked, harpsichord-inflected, gospel-choir-backed "Burning of The Midnight Lamp" to the jazzy after-hours feel of the organ-fueled "Rainy Day, Dream Away", this is Hendrix at his most expressive and poetic." - Bill Milkowski, The Absolute Sound, February 2019
