Jimi Hendrix : Axis Bold As Love
© Experience Hendrix
Axis: Bold as Love is the second album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, released in 1967 . Following the seminal Are You Experienced, the band delivered another classic, although Axis: Bold As Love is overshadowed by its predecessor and successor (Electric Ladyland). The group, however, undoubtedly sounds more confident and more proficient than it did on its debut.
Many of the album's songs were composed with studio recording techniques in mind, and were rarely played at live performances. Only "Spanish Castle Magic" and "Little Wing" were performed regularly at concerts. "Spanish Castle Magic" is named after a well known jazz club. "Little Wing" has become one of Hendrix's most well known songs.
The title track, "Bold as Love", is oft considered to be the first pop recording to feature a stereo flanging effect. The effect can be heard during the outro of the track. Initially released in the UK in December of 1967, when it reached a healthy #5 peak, Axis: Bold As Love was held over until mid-January 1968 in the US due to the unrelenting sales of the band's first album. It was another success, reaching #3 in Jimi's native country.

Castles made of Sand, Little Wing, and Bold as Love are some of his best compositions.
