Story & Background
For true collectors, this 1968 first pressing of *Electric Ladyland* on Track Record is famous not only for its revolutionary music, but also and above all for its controversial original cover. The British label, in fact, contravening Jimi Hendrix’s express preferences – who desired a more artistic and psychedelic image, such as a photograph of Indian children in space or a shot by Linda McCartney – opted instead for a provocative photo of 19 nude women, taken by David Montgomery. This choice, though judged by Hendrix himself to be in bad taste and lacking artistic meaning compared to his vision, clearly aimed to generate controversy and emphasise the "electric" and transgressive side of the record. The cover immediately became iconic, but was also the subject of censorship and scandal, with many copies withdrawn or sold sealed in brown paper bags, especially in the United States. Even today, its rarity and value for collectors are largely linked to this "naked ladies" cover, a symbol of an era of rupture and the eternal tensions between artistic vision and the logic of the record market.
