Why this release matters

  • Historical scope
    Axis arrived only months after Are You Experienced and captured Hendrix moving from explosive psych blues into painterly guitar orchestrations. Hearing mono, stereo, and Atmos brings that progression into focus for modern listeners.

  • Studio window
    The session reels document Hendrix refining arrangements and tones in real time. The demo of “Stone Free” linked with “Up From The Skies” shows how he stitched older ideas to the new palette that defines Axis.

  • Live context
    The Sweden material and TV cuts frame how these songs evolved on stage in late 1967.

How to listen and buy

  • Choose 4 CD plus Blu ray if you want the most complete digital experience with Atmos.

  • Choose 5 LP plus Blu ray if you prefer vinyl playback but still want Atmos on the disc.

  • A digital edition is also planned for streaming services.
