version sound wrote:UK? US? French? Mono? Stereo?
I have not heard the American mono version, but I grew up on the US stereo version. I kind of prefer the American tracklisting, at least I prefer all the songs not on the UK version to "Red House". Even so, my favorite version overall is the '70s French mono pressing. This record was originally mixed and released in mono only, and I think that's where it really shines. The mono sounds a lot more like a band and less like a showcase for Jimi, which is a good thing.

It sounds frikkin fantastic. I've heard that all of the Experience Hendrix represses are worthwhile.

No, sir. They're easily found under $20, and with the slightest effort can be had for less than $15.

Oh? Two-tone labels?
