JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE BOLD AS LOVE BOX SET - AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 7

If you're looking for the perfect holiday (or late 2025 birthday) gift for yourself, or your favorite Jimi Hendrix and/or classic rock fan, then we may just have the ideal solution: the Jimi Hendrix Experience Bold as Love box set.

I say holiday (or late 2025 birthday) as there is one caveat - it's not available until November 7, but if you, or a loved one, are a fan of the original Axis: Bold as Love album, then I can assure it is very much worth the wait.  Of course, being a box set, you get a tremendous amount of extras, but wait until you see the goodies.  

First, of course, you'll get the full original album, Axis: Bold as Love, completely remastered.  Included is also an addtional 40 tracks - 28 of which were never previously released - in new Dolby ATMOS mixes by the album's original engineer, Eddie Kramer and Chandler Harrod.  These additional tracks are comprised of alternative versions, unreleased studio takes, demos, live tracks and TV appearances from when the album was produced and, subsequently, released.

There is also new cover art for the box set which differs, significantly, from the cover art on the original version of Axis: Bold as Love, spotlighting a drawing of a colorful dragon, by Jimi Hendrix when he was 5 years old and selected for the box set by his sister, Janie.

Originally released in December 1967 (in the United Kingdom/January 1968 in the United States), Axis: Bold as Love is the 2nd album by Jimi Hendrix Experience and reached record store shelves 7 months after the band's debut, Are You Experienced.  Highlighting Jimi Hendrix's maturing songwriting skills and demonstrating competence in varying musical styles, Axis: Bold as Love was both a tremendous commercial and critical success.
