Axis Bold as Love box set

An announcement just in from Experience and Legacy that I find exciting:

THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE: BOLD AS LOVE
THE AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE SESSIONS BOX SET COMING NOVEMBER 7
Experience Hendrix L.L.C. and Legacy Recordings, are releasing Bold As Love by The Jimi Hendrix Experience on November 7. Produced by Janie Hendrix, original Experience recording engineer Eddie Kramer, and John McDermott, this expansive collection is available as either a five vinyl LP plus Blu-ray, or four CD plus Blu-ray set.

The deluxe box set includes the original stereo and mono mixes of Axis: Bold As Love remastered from the original mixes created by Hendrix, the album’s producer Chas Chandler and original engineer Eddie Kramer. Kramer and engineer Chandler Harrod recently created brand new immersive Dolby ATMOS mixes of the entire 13 song album. The box set presents an additional 40 alternative versions, unreleased studio takes, demos, live tracks and television appearances from the album’s gestation and recording period, 28 of which have never-before-seen the light of day. One of these tracks, a previously unreleased October 1967 studio demo of “Stone Free/Up From The Skies [Demo],” has been made available today.

I have the recent (2018) Analogue Productions SACD. This has the original stereo & mono mixes and I think sounds great.

On top of that, the Hendrix family's digital releases, so far, have not sounded very good to me at all, with all of them having boosted audio, which I find very fatiguing. I'm definitely not buying this one.

I found the last box set to have very good sound. I'm in for this one. I'm a huge Hendrix nut with lots of boots. . . I buy what the estate puts out.

I too will fall prey to the Estate once again:  Axis Bold As Love is one of my all-time favorites.

Mine too, ever since I bought the Barclay issue of this LP in Swaziland (Eswatini) in '69.
