Summary: How he did it
Review: An excellent story about the making of one of the best rock alblums ever made.Those of us who remember when this alblum came out can now see what the GREAT OZ was doing behind that curtain.The sounds in Jimi's head got onto vinyl because of the magical collaboration of Eddie Kramer,Hendrix, Mitchell, and Noel Redding--who got fed up with the delays and effectively quit at this point. But there was plenty of talent available and eager to help out, Jack Cassidy, Steve Winwood, Buddy Miles, among others who made it happen. Eddie Kramer is the main historian here, his memory of how all the tracks were layed down gives the most complete view since Jimi is not available.

Summary: Recounting The Journey
Review: Classic Albums recounters the journey of the legendary music recordings.Classic Albums takes you a behind the scences look at one of jimi hendrix's most succesful albums. The story is told in rare archival film footage, music, and from a diary kept by a hendrix employee. Their are many great interviews from the members themself Mitch Mitchell, and Noel Redding as well as keyboard virtuoso Steve Windwood. I think the best part of the film is Eddie Kramer who engineered the electric ladyland sessions. This film is loaded with fascinating footage of Jimi Hendrix in the studio. I think from one perspective we can all appreciate how great Electric Ladyland really was.

Summary: Should be called a documentary!
Review: I thought this would have more complete songs--like U2's Rattle and Hum or Styx's Return to Paradise. Instead it is a documentary with short clips of Jimi performing. Disappointing...

Summary: Man, Do I Miss Jimi ,,,
Review: I was really looking forward to this one. As a fan of the Classic Album Series, I was very disappointed when I watched this one. The volume level is very inconsistent, especially during the sections where people are talking over the music. You have to turn it way up when they're talking, then be quick with the remote when the music starts or it will blow your speakers! For die-hard fans only, and keep the volume remote handy. You'll need it!
