Jimi Hendrix~Are you Experienced~ Original 2 channel mono Columbia Terra Haute!
“Are You Experienced” at the time of its release recognized that Jimi Hendrix was changing the very language of popular music. But the significance of this album is probably even greater today, almost 50 years after its original release: the record and its individual tracks are enormously popular with new audiences; guitar players still look to Hendrix’s playing as a model for technique, and his influence on modern music is probably incalculable.
Like Robert Johnson, who also left little mark as a young, itinerant musician only to emerge with a mature style and a bag of songs that were recorded before an early, tragic death, the Hendrix legacy is larger than life. “Are You Experienced,” although his debut LP as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, was a fully realized album of remarkable variety, mixing soulful ballads with frenetic, distorted explorations of psychedelia that were anchored rather than aimless, and accessible rather than excessive.

This is the RARE Tri-Color original mono release. These were discontinued after two years and the number of stereo tri-colors probably outnumber its mono counterpart 40:1.
