Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River
(1969, Fantasy)

How is the effect of Full Radial Stereo? Never heard of it. Does it sound different to the usual Stereo? Some kind of Quadrophonic sound? A Hype? We always have to learn new lessons in life.......

[Fritz The Cat]

The Kinks - The Live Kinks
(1967, Reprise) -1B/-1C

Where were these live songs recorded? Is there any information on the back cover? Acceptable live sound or similar to The Beatles' screaming noise of "Live at Hollywood Bowl"?

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced
(1967, Reprise) -1F / -1A

Is this one a double LP issue you are showing?

The version i'm listening now is a 1997 US reissue with 2 LPs. Beautiful booklet and perfect pressing on 180gr vinyl.
Listen to the atypical track B1 "May this be love". Perfectly suitable for this wonderful warm summer evening sitting in the garden with a bottle of beer: of sure my local favorite "Schützengarten" beer of St. Gallen.
Remember (track B4)......

This was probably just marketing nonsense. Sounds no different than usual stereo from that era.

Kinks

Where were these live songs recorded? Is there any information on the back cover? Acceptable live sound or similar to The Beatles' screaming noise of "Live at Hollywood Bowl"?

It was recorded at Kelvin Hall in Glasgow, Scotland, in early 1967, released in the UK as "Live at Kelvin Hall" - according to the Wikipedia article. Not a great live recording, as usual for many of the live records from US labels in this era.

Jimi Hendrix Experience

Yes, a lot of the Hendrix reissues have been excellent. The US release that I have was released as 1 LP.

w/ Levon Helm. a good looking couple.

Multiinstrumentalist Roy Wood of Move and ELO.
A stunning wild "Pet sounds" style work. Everything was possible.
UK pressing unfortunately with poor dynamics. Does anybody own a superb pressing of this one?
After years of listening to this one there are still moments of magic in these songs.
Roy Wood was the wizzard........
