Story & Background
Jimi Hendrix's masterpiece "Electric Ladyland" is inextricably linked to one of the most celebrated and discussed covers in rock history. Although your 1970 Reprise reissue sports Jimi's iconic psychedelic portrait, the original 1968 British edition, released by Track Records, caused an absolute furore. The original UK cover, conceived by Tony Garland and immortalised by photographer David King, provocatively depicted nineteen nude women. This excessively literal representation of the "Paese delle Ragazze Elettriche", was chosen without Hendrix's consent, who had found it to be in "cattivo gusto" and would have preferred an image of children. The controversy sparked by this audacious artistic choice was such that numerous distributors and shops refused to display it, leading to widespread censorship and, often, to the sale of the record concealed in anonymous brown paper bags. It was precisely this strong reaction that prompted Reprise Records in the United States to opt for the now much better known and more subdued alternative cover featuring David Montgomery's portrait, making the UK "nude" edition one of the most sought-after vinyls by collectors worldwide.
