The Jimi Hendrix Experience Axis: Bold As Love Numbered, Limited Edition UHQR 200g LP Box (Mono) (Use code: FREESHIPPING at Checkout Two Orders or More UK Only) last copy

Analogue Productions, together with Quality Record Pressings, is reintroducing one of the most revered brands in LP history — the Ultra High Quality Record (UHQR™), originally introduced by JVC Japan in the 1980s!

Analogue Productions presents its first UHQR™ title — Jimi Hendrix's 1967 masterpiece, Axis: Bold As Love, in both stereo and mono versions. This UHQR™ is newly remastered by noted mastering engineer Bernie Grundman from the original analog master tapes. Each UHQR™ will be pressed at the industry-leading pressing plant Quality Record Pressings (QRP) using hand-selected Clarity Vinyl® on a manual Finebilt press with attention paid to every single detail of every single record. The 200-gram records feature the same flat profile that helped to make the original UHQR™ so desirable. From the lead-in groove to the run-out groove, there is no pitch to the profile, allowing the customer's stylus to play truly perpendicular to the grooves from edge to center. Clarity Vinyl® allows for the purest possible pressing and the most visually stunning presentation. Every UHQR™ is hand inspected upon pressing completion, and only the truly flawless will be allowed to go to market. Each UHQR™ is packaged in a deluxe box and includes a booklet detailing the entire process of making a UHQR™ along with a hand-signed certificate of inspection. This is a truly deluxe, collectible product.

Each Axis UHQR™ is available as two versions: mono and stereo. The stereo release is limited to 5,000 copies, while the mono release is limited to 1,500 copies. The deluxe box is gold foil numbered.

Axis: Bold As Love, the sensational sophomore release of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, showcased Hendrix's expansive experimentation while acknowledging his early R&B and soul music influences. The album features classics such as "Spanish Castle Magic," "Little Wing," "Castles Made Of Sand," and "If 6 Was 9."

As Rolling Stone states, Jimi Hendrix was the most innovative instrumental genius the rock era produced, a wizard guitar player whose sense of technique never overwhelmed the blues and rock 'n' roll spirit that was the underpinning of his genius. He improvised with the fervor of a born jazzman; he philosophized like the most cosmic rocker, but ultimately his basics were rooted in soul, a reflection of the chitlin circuit, where he cut his teeth.

With the possible exception of Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience was debatably the world's finest-ever power trio. Axis was a showcase for Jimi's brash, scintillating songs and the grasp that Jimi and his cohorts — Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Redding on bass — had on the studio technology at their disposal, and the lyrical beauty of Hendrix's guitar playing.

"The Axis UHQR cut is amazing - full bodied, detailed, powerful and engaging. Very impressive. The best pressing of the record I have ever heard." - Bill Levenson, Grammy Award-winning reissue producer
