![]() I gather that this album is the first example of the phasing effect being implemented in stereo - that's a pretty important moment in the history of recorded music as far as I'm concerned. In particular, completely new mixing techniques were being developed in the process of making this album. A record which was breaking totally new ground musically and technically. Also, does the P33P also use the UK mix?Ĭlick to expand.Well, I think that it is a pretty big issue! We are talking about one of the greatest recording masterpieces of all time. Then there are the Japanese Polydor CD pressings - Rocky, can you confirm that the P20P pressing lines up with my West German pressing in using the UK mix (I assume this is what you were saying but it was a little ambiguous). However, we have seen that not all Polydor CD editions of the album are the same as the West German one so maybe there are different incarnations of the Reprise edition using either of the two mixes?īob points out that there is at least one Polydor edition (847 243-2 Made in the UK) that contains "essentially the same mix" as the EH editions - Bob could you verify whether or not this is the same mix throughout? The general consensus seems to be that the US Reprise CD uses the US mix, although Ed B has other ideas - can you clarify this Ed?. (iii) Is the West German Polydor CD unique or did the mix on that disc appear on other CD releases of the album prior to the EH remasters? The answer to the third question is less clear: (ii) Do all editions of the Experience Hendrix release use the same mix as the Japanese edition? ![]() The second question seems to have a definitive answer: ![]() ![]() However, we still need to know if the West German Polydor uses the UK mix of some other mix (my guess is that it is the UK mix but it would be nice to have someone confirm it by comparing a Track original with my notes). (i) Do these two CDs represent the original UK and US mixes and, if so, which is which? The West German Polydor CD (813 572-2) uses a different mix to the EH remaster. Original UK Track and US Reprise vinyl do indeed use different mixes (let's refer to them as the UK and US mixes, respectively) So let's see where we are with answers to the questions I posed about the 2 mixes. ![]()
