Hoping to quiet the storm. I have always liked this one.

After reading listeners’ impressions about it I’m re-listening to disc 2, the mono mix. I must admit it sounds really good and has a certain “punch” that differs from that of the stereo. Jimi Hendrix “Bold as Love” Experience Hendrix 5 disc box set, disc 2 I feel a little bit like a teenager again listening to my Barclay LP.

First snow of the season (surprised it took this long) and 28 degrees. We got just an inch or less. We have an important appointment so as much as we’d love to hunker down in the hacienda we have to go out and brave the roads. Starting off with a favorite piano trio album before bundling up and clearing the deck, stairs and car. Keigh Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette “Tokyo '96” ECM cd

Personally I am really enjoying it. Covers don't matter much to me, and I actually like the dragon Jimi drew as a kid and understand why it was used (The original cover is reproduced in large format within). The original stereo mix presented here is possibly in error--it is not a new one by Grundman but from 2010 with possibly a little tweaking. That said it sounds really good. I have had the mono mix before, it is very interesting to me. And the newly released bits and pieces are very interesting to me, and sound GREAT. There was no way I was not going to get this, and I'm glad I did pre-order it. I find it interesting that the sets are numbered and I got #00420. If you stream (I don't) you should be able to preview it.

LATE last night I listened to the stereo original mix disc 1 in the new Hendrix set. It sounds great but it’s not a new remaster as it was supposed to be, but one from 1997 maybe tweaked a bit, maybe not. That’s disappointing. But the mono mix is a Grundman one, either new or the one used for the SACD. Sounds GREAT.

Good to know. I just managed to watch most of the first episode so far. My access to these shows is limited as my wife won't watch them with me.

Another cold morning with a wife fighting pain.
