'''''Electric Ladyland''''' is the third and final studio album by [[the Jimi Hendrix Experience]], released in October 1968. A [[double album]], it was the only record from the Experience with production solely credited to Hendrix.{{refn|group=nb|name="Producer"}} The band's most commercially successful release and its only number one album, it was released by [[Reprise Records]] in the United States on October 16, 1968, and by [[Track Records]] in the UK nine days later. By mid-November, it had reached number 1 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' Top LPs]] chart,  spending two weeks there. In the UK it peaked at number 6, where it spent 12 weeks on the British charts.

''Electric Ladyland'' includes a cover of [[Bob Dylan]]'s "[[All Along the Watchtower]]", which became the Experience's best-selling single, reaching number six in the UK and number 20 in the United States. Although the album confounded critics upon its release, it has since been viewed as one of Hendrix's best works and one of the greatest albums of all time, being featured on various "greatest albums" lists, including ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'s'' 2003 list of the 100 greatest albums and various editions of ''[[Rolling Stone]]''{{'}}s list of the "[[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|500 Greatest Albums of All Time]]", on which it was ranked 53rd in the 2020 iteration.

==Recording and production==
[[File:Jimi Hendrix's Acoustic Guitar, HRC Amsterdam.jpg|thumb|left|upright|The acoustic guitar used on "[[All Along the Watchtower]]", [[Hard Rock Cafe]], [[Amsterdam]]]] 
The Experience began recording ''Electric Ladyland'' at several studios in the United States and UK between July 1967 and January 1968.{{sfn|McDermott|Kramer|Cox|2009|pp=55, 82, 87}} Recording resumed on April 18, 1968, at the newly opened [[Record Plant Studios]] in New York City, with [[Chas Chandler]] as producer and engineers [[Eddie Kramer]] and [[Gary Kellgren]].<ref>{{harvnb|Heatley|2009|pp=102–103}}: Recording began with Chandler and Kramer; {{harvnb|McDermott|Kramer|Cox|2009|pp=95–97}}: Kellgren.</ref>

Hendrix was famous for his studio perfectionism; he and drummer [[Mitch Mitchell]] recorded over 50 takes of "[[Gypsy Eyes]]" over three sessions.{{sfn|McDermott|Kramer|Cox|2009|pp=98–100}} Hendrix was insecure about his voice and often recorded his vocals hidden behind studio screens. He sang backing vocals himself on the title track and on "Long Hot Summer Night".<ref>''Electric Ladyland'', MCAD 10895, 1993, [[liner notes]].</ref> As recording progressed, Chandler became frustrated with Hendrix's perfectionism and his demands for repeated takes.{{sfn|Heatley|2009|p=102}}

Hendrix allowed friends and guests to join them in the studio, which contributed to a chaotic and crowded environment in the control room and led Chandler to sever his professional relationship with Hendrix.{{sfn|Heatley|2009|p=102}} Bassist [[Noel Redding]] recalled: "There were tons of people in the studio; you couldn't move. It was a party, not a session."{{sfn|Shadwick|2003|p=157}}

Redding, who had formed his own band in mid-1968, [[Fat Mattress]], found it increasingly difficult to fulfill his commitments with the Experience, so Hendrix played many of the bass parts.{{sfn|Heatley|2009|p=102}} The album's cover states that it was "produced and directed by Jimi Hendrix", which disturbed Chandler since he produced some of the songs.{{sfn|Unterberger|2009|loc=eBook}}  The [[Double album|double LP]] was the only Experience album mixed entirely in stereo.{{sfn|Heatley|2009|p=103}}

Hendrix experimented with other combinations of musicians, including [[Jefferson Airplane]]'s [[Jack Casady]] and [[Traffic (band)|Traffic]]'s [[Steve Winwood]], who played bass and organ, respectively, on the 15-minute slow-blues jam "[[Voodoo Chile]]".{{sfn|Heatley|2009|p=102}} In March 1968, he was joined onstage at the Scene Club in New York by [[Jim Morrison]] of [[the Doors]]{{sfn|Black|1999|p=137}} and in early April, Hendrix appeared at an impromptu jam with [[B.B. King]], [[Al Kooper]], and [[Elvin Bishop]].{{sfn|Shadwick|2003|p=146}}

==Music==
According to music critic [[Jim DeRogatis]], ''Electric Ladyland'' is "a sprawling exploration of the studio as a place to create what [Hendrix] called 'sound paintings.'"<ref>{{Cite book |last=DeRogatis |first=Jim |title=Turn On Your Mind: Four Decades of Great Psychedelic Rock |publisher=Hal Leonard |year=2003 |pages=193}}</ref> According to music journalist [[David Stubbs]], ''Electric Ladyland'' is "undoubtedly a rock album, albeit rock on the point of evolving into something else."{{sfn|Stubbs|2003|p=60}} ''[[Uncut (magazine)|Uncut]]'' magazine's John Robinson said that its music reconciles the [[psychedelic pop]] of Hendrix's earlier recordings with the aggressive [[funk]] he would explore on his 1970 album ''[[Band of Gypsys]]''.<ref name="Robinson"/> During its recording, Kramer experimented with innovative studio techniques such as [[backmasking]], [[chorus effect]], [[echo]], and [[flanging]], which [[AllMusic]]'s Cub Koda said recontextualized Hendrix's psychedelic and funk sounds on the album.<ref name="Koda"/>

''Electric Ladyland'' is a cross-section of Hendrix's wide range of musical talent. It includes examples of several genres and styles of music: the psychedelic "[[Burning of the Midnight Lamp]]", a UK single the previous summer (1967), the extended blues jam "[[Voodoo Chile]]", the New Orleans-style [[rhythm and blues|R&B]] of [[Earl King]]'s "[[Come On (Earl King song)|Come On]]", the epic studio production of "[[1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)]]", the social commentary of "House Burning Down", and the sixties-era British pop of [[Noel Redding]]'s "Little Miss Strange". The album also features an electric reworking of the [[Bob Dylan]] song "[[All Along the Watchtower]]", which has been highly acclaimed by critics as well as by Dylan himself,<ref>Dimery, Robert. ''[[1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die]]'', {{ISBN|0-7893-1371-5}}, p.136</ref> and also "[[Voodoo Child (Slight Return)]]", a staple of both radio and guitar repertoire. ''[[Rolling Stone]]''{{'s}} Holly George-Warren praised "Crosstown Traffic" for its [[hard rock]] guitar riff.{{sfn|George-Warren|2001|p=428}}

"All Along the Watchtower" became the band's top-selling single and their only US top 40 hit, peaking at number 20; it reached number five in the UK.<ref>{{harvnb|Heatley|2009|p=102}}: "All Along the Watchtower" was Hendrix's only US top 40 hit single; :{{harvnb|Murray|1989|p=51}} "All Along the Watchtower" was Hendrix's highest-selling single; {{harvnb|Roberts|2005|p=232}}: peak UK chart position for Hendrix's cover of "All Along the Watchtower"; {{harvnb|Whitburn|2010|p=294}}: peak US chart position for Hendrix's cover of "All Along the Watchtower".</ref> The album also included one of Hendrix's most prominent uses of a [[wah-wah pedal]], on "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", which reached number 18 in the UK charts.<ref>{{harvnb|Roberts|2005|p=232}}: peak UK chart position for "Burning of the Midnight Lamp"; {{harvnb|Shadwick|2003|p=118}}: "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" was Hendrix's first recorded song to feature the use of a wah-wah pedal.</ref>

==Cover==
Hendrix had written to Reprise describing what he wanted for the [[cover art]], but was largely ignored. He expressly asked for a color photo by [[Linda McCartney|Linda Eastman]] (later known as Linda McCartney following her marriage with [[Paul McCartney]]) of the group sitting with children on [[List of sculptures in Central Park#Fictional characters|the sculpture]] of ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'' in [[Central Park]], and drew a picture of it for reference.<ref>''Electric Ladyland''.

The album was also issued in two parts in the UK,  with different cover art. 

In France and the [[Benelux]] countries, Hendrix's recordings were released by [[Barclay Records]],{{sfn|McDermott|Kramer|1992|pp=48, 304}} and ''Electric Ladyland'' featured a front cover photograph by [[Alain Dister]],{{sfn|Dister|1995|p=57}} and inner sleeve photographs by Jean-Pierre Leloir and Donald Silverstein.<ref name="JHEL_Barclay1968">{{Cite AV media notes |title= Electric Ladyland |series= 920 060/061|at= (Liner notes) |quote= Cover Picture : [[Alain Dister]] / Inside picture : Jean-Pierre Leloir / Photographs of Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding : Donald Silverstein |year=1968 |type= Media notes |publisher=[[Barclay Records]] |location= France}}</ref>

==Release and reception==
[[File:Electric Ladyland - Cashbox ad 1968.png|thumb|upright|left|''[[Cashbox (magazine)|Cashbox]]'' advertisement, October 26, 1968]] 
''Electric Ladyland'' was released in the US on October 16, 1968.{{sfn|McDermott|Kramer|Cox|2009|p=117}} It was a "hit psychedelic album", [[Richie Unterberger]] later wrote,<ref>Jacqueline Edmondson Ph.D. (ed.) ''Music in American Life: An Encyclopedia of the Songs, Styles, Stars, and Stories that Shaped our Culture''. ABC-CLIO, 2013. p. 548.</ref> and by mid-November, it had reached number one in the US, spending two weeks atop the [[Billboard 200|pop charts]].<ref>{{harvnb|McDermott|Kramer|Cox|2009|pp=126–127}}; {{harvnb|Rosen|1996|p=108}}: peak chart position.</ref> The [[Double album|double LP]] was the Experience's most commercially successful release and Hendrix's only number-one album.{{sfn|Murray|1989|p=51}} In the UK, it peaked at number six and charted for 12 weeks.{{sfn|Roberts|2005|p=232}}

''Electric Ladyland'' confounded contemporary critics; reviewers praised some of its songs but felt the album lacked structure and sounded too dense.{{sfn|Perry|2004}} ''[[Melody Maker]]'' called it "mixed-up and muddled", with the exception of "All Along the Watchtower", which the magazine called a masterpiece.{{sfn|Perry|2004}} Reviewing for ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' in 1968, [[Tony Glover]] said Hendrix's original songs sometimes sound [[Song structure|unstructured]] and was somewhat disappointed by the "heavy handed guitar" on "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" and the science-fiction conclusion to "House Burning Down". Ultimately, Glover appreciated the "energy flow" unifying the songs and described Hendrix as "amazing", adding that ''Electric Ladyland'' serves as "an extended look into Hendrix's head, and mostly it seems to have some pretty good things in it (who among us is totally free of mental garbage?)".<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Glover|first=Tony|date=November 1968|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/electric-ladyland-183197/|title=Electric Ladyland|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|access-date=November 21, 2019}}</ref> [[Robert Christgau]] was more enthusiastic in ''[[Stereo Review]]'', regarding it as an explosive showcase of rock's "most important recent innovation"—the "heavy" guitar aesthetic—and "an integrated work-in-itself in more ways than one". He found the production exceptional—"the best job of stereo for its own sake I know"—and was surprisingly impressed by the quality of the lyrics. While most guitarists in rock believed improvisation to be a straightforward endeavor, Christgau said "Hendrix achieves unique effects, effects you'll never get from [[Kenny Burrell]]", citing "Voodoo Chile" as an example.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Christgau|first=Robert|date=March 1969|url=https://robertchristgau.com/xg/music/rock-69.php|title=A Short and Happy History of Rock|magazine=[[Stereo Review]]|access-date=September 15, 2018}}</ref> He later named ''Electric Ladyland'' the fifth-best album of 1968 in his ballot for ''Jazz & Pop'' magazine's critics poll.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Jazz & Pop|last=Christgau|first=Robert|year=1969|url=https://www.robertchristgau.com/xg/pnj/jpballot-69.php|title=Robert Christgau's 1969 Jazz & Pop Ballot|access-date=April 17, 2014}}</ref>

===Notes===
*As was common with multi-LP albums, sides A and D were pressed back to back on the same platter, likewise sides B and C.<ref name="Reprise"/><ref name="Track"/> This was called auto-coupling or [[automatic sequencing]] and was intended to make it easier to play through the entire album in sequence (A B C D) on automatic [[record changer]]s.  For the cassette version where everything was fitted onto one tape, album sides A & C were put together on side 1 with B & D on side 2.

*A new 50th anniversary edition was released on November 28, 2018. It features Hendrix's originally intended cover, and is available as a box-set with either a [[Blu-ray]] disc and 3-CDs or a Blu-ray disc and 6-LPs. The Blu-ray includes a 5.1 surround mix by Eddie Kramer and a high resolution version of the album remaster.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sinclair|first=Paul|url=http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/jimi-hendrix-electric-ladyland-50th-anniversary-super-deluxe-edition/ |title=Jimi Hendrix / Electric Ladyland 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition |publisher=Super Deluxe Edition |date=September 13, 2018 |access-date=October 16, 2018}}</ref> The remastering was done by [[Bernie Grundman]] from the original master tapes. The box set also features early takes, demos and live concert from September 14, 1968, at the Hollywood Bowl plus a 1997 documentary "At Last...The Beginning: The Making of Electric Ladyland" featuring Chas Chandler, Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding and Eddie Kramer.
