Ordered one of each :-)
I clearly remember waiting outside my local record store...The Recorderie.....in Stanmore, England on the day it was released.

yuck. that is all.

I was told yesterday that they would not be ready for another 6 months, do not see them on their site. Where did you order them from?

I see it's available mono or stereo. While I'm sure there are plenty to disparage the stereo gimmicks, what's mono got over it?

I know this is a money grab, but I HAD to order both editions
Gosh, how man y copies of JH's albums do I have now???
BTW, I was able to order two of each

The Experience Hendrix release of this was, for me, mind blowing. 40 years of intimate familiarity with Axis did not prepare me for what happened when the needle dropped. Can this release possibly be worth 4x the $$$?

Watching the pressing process I was surprised the vinyl puck was handled by bare/ungloved hands. That is a good way to get unwanted particles and oils onto a pressing that when exposed to heat will not be able to be removed. Plus, when viewing the final product why not under a high intensity lamp to aid in finding those imperfections. Not sure after watching this if this is a good way to spend $100.

Is this entire industry devoid of creativity? This is a blatant (and weak) rip-off of the MoFi UD1S packaging design. Give me a break. Also the vinyl within isn't even close to as clean as the one-step process puts out. This is a regular LP in a fancy box for the same price. Unbelievable.

Not to worry about the handling of the clear vinyl biscuit in this movie. Gary only demonstrated this process on his day off so I could film; which is a rare treat for all of us in the audiophile world to witness. To do this properly he had to fire up the vinyl extruder and make other accommodations so I could film in detail, of which I was often in his way. The magic of editing and Gary's seasoned narration does make it an interesting and fascinating watch. In production, the operator will wear gloves and take other precautions to ensure vinyl purity. Chad and Gary and their production process is 2nd to none, and I have witnessed (and filmed) many pressing plants and related manufacturing facilities. Hats off to Acoustic Sounds for another vinyl resurrection product that many of us did not get to experience the first time around!

No one has mentioned that the Clarity Vinyl (no carbon black added) came from Classic Records, which I've read Chad Kassem bought some years back. I've been wondering whether he'd do something with that eventually, along with the flat profile. Very nice! How many vinyl copies of "Axis..." do I already have? Who cares?

Wish they'd had someone other than Bernie Grundman master and cut this. How stuff is always much too bright.

can't believe I quoted TS but . . . it's sad to have to read misplaced (and ugly) comments that don't add to the discussion. As said elsewhere the recordings were done a long time ago, should have complained then, not now. It is possible to start a I Hate Eddie Kramer blog but we all know how much attention that would get. Personal issues don't have much of a place where people come to discuss (not rant about) their hobby/profession in a mature manner.

they were uniformly awful.

I'd say that it's a little too late to criticize Kramer's recordings made 50 years ago. Back in the day I obsessed over the sound over a Modified 1953 Buick car radio... Let's be happy with what we've got. I've got 79 Hendrix recordings on my server, and I still think my three original Reprise pressings connect me with Hendrix about as good as it's going to get.

I believe Chad announced the UHQR's a year before the MFSL Abraxas appeared, probably longer. Probably took a LONG time to get this press ( machine ) ready. How do you know how "clean" these will be to MFSL. They will not be licensing the same titles, so more music to hear in a high-quality format. " Regular record in a fancy box"......LOL. You have NO idea the money Chad puts into these projects YEARS in advance, and how long it will be before an actual profit is made in this new venture. How you could criticize anything Chad is doing is mean-spirited and shallow. This guy has worked TIRELESSLY since 1984 to keep this format alive. How about if you don't have anything nice to say about something you know little about ALL to your lonesome self !!!!........gallassero@yahoo.com.

Keep it all to your lonesome self

Those of us that have had the pleasure of talking to Chad personally, either face-to-face or on the phone, understand the passion that he has for keeping vinyl alive. I don't believe for a second that this is a money grab.

I remember ordering the first Mofi 1 step via his website (Acoustic Sounds). When Mofi shorted his order and he had could not fulfill hundreds of orders, he personally called many (if not all) of us to personally apologize. That call turned into well over an hour of a rock and roll history walk down memory lane. The guy is passionate and I will never disparage him or question his motives.

Hello, greetings from Portugal.
What should be the right decision on this UHQR? Buy the Stereo or the mono edition?

Thanks in advance.

this is all we should be looking for now. gta 5 online money

I'm really looking forward to this. It's interesting some people are complaining because it isn't going to be released in 45 RPM on two discs. I have no complaint about that. All I want is for the music to sound stunning. I have a lot of AP releases and so far I'm a big fan. They get it right time after time. This should be interesting. It will be fun to do a direct shootouut with Mono And Stereo.

Yes it worked for me and for my friends as well as analogue is best http://techyfiles.com/

Jimmy Hendrix is also a true classic of the music industry! I work as a writer at https://supremedissertations.com/ and we constantly listen to such music. Madly happy to hear such a news of the return. I will gladly dip into this atmosphere!
