In addition to getting a nice remastered Compact Disc of the core album (which sounds better than my likely late ’80s/early ’90s Reprise edition) you also get a CD of studio outtakes and demos plus a separate disc with a fascinating live concert recording.

Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Electric Ladyland’: 10 Things You Didn’t Know. Rolling Stone MagazineElectric 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 in upon its release, it has since been viewed as one of Hendrix's best works and one of the greatest albums of all time, and has been featured on many "greatest albums" lists, including Q's 2003 list of the 100 greatest albums and Rolling Stone 's 2020 list of the " 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", on which it was ranked 53rd.

Doggett, Peter (2004). Jimi Hendrix: The Complete Guide to his Music. Omnibus. ISBN 978-1-84449-424-8. The fully restored documentary At Last … The Beginning: The Making Of Electric Ladyland which documents the creation of the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s groundbreaking double album. Includes interviews with Chas Chandler, Mitch Mitchell, and Noel Redding as well as fascinating in-the-studio footage introduced by Eddie Kramer.

On the Blu-ray Disc you also get a wonderful behind the scenes documentary on the making of Electric Ladyland. Its quite notable as there are interview segments with former manager Chas Chandler (ex-Animals bassist who helped put Jimi on the map who had quit during the production of this album), Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding (all three, RIP). This is an expanded version of the documentary originally produced as part of the Classic Albums TV series, newly edited with about 40 minutes of additional material. Noel Redding apparently contributed some of the 8mm film footage from his personal archives to make this documentary an essential insider view of what The Jimi Hendrix Experience was about at this time and place. Titles: This UK issue has no suffix to "Come On", "The" is prefixed to "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" and "Cross Town" appears as two words.

Heatley 2009, p.102: "All Along the Watchtower" was Hendrix's only US top 40 hit single;: Murray 1989, p.51 "All Along the Watchtower" was Hendrix's highest-selling single; Roberts 2005, p.232: peak UK chart position for Hendrix's cover of "All Along the Watchtower"; Whitburn 2010, p.294: peak US chart position for Hendrix's cover of "All Along the Watchtower". By 1968 I'd seen Hendrix perform. An act that surpassed Arthur Brown for vaudeville and virtuosity. I dashed out and bought 'Electric Ladyland' on day one. But, I still wasn't prepared. I had the other two albums, but this was music from the other side of the cosmos, played inside-out by all my blues guitar heros rolled into one. Inspired, astounding, awesome and other adjectives too numerous to mention. 'All Along The Watchtower' is the diamond among the gems, an 'arrangement' stamped with Hendrix style and heaped with praise by its author Dylan. Progressively comparable only, in my book, to Frank Zappa- a methodic yang to Hendrix's untamed yin. On first hearing him Zappa thought he was good, but too loud. Later, Hendrix gave FZ his burned-out strat. A surprising move for a guy who even took his guitar to the toilet to keep practicing. There was respect, although FZ showed no sentimentality and had the defunct axe rebuilt.
