Details: Are You Experienced is the debut studio album by the rock band the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Released in 1967, the LP was an immediate critical and commercial success, and it is widely regarded as one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock music. The album features Jimi Hendrix's innovative approach to songwriting and electric guitar playing which soon established a new direction in psychedelic and hard rock music. Coming after three successful European singles, it helped introduce him as a new international star. Are You Experienced and it's preceding singles were recorded over a five-month period from late October 1966 through early April 1967. The album was completed in sixteen recording sessions at three London locations, including de Lane Lea Studios, CBS, and Olympic. Released in the UK on May 12, 1967, Are You Experienced spent 33 weeks on the charts, peaking at number two. The album was issued in the US on August 23 by Reprise Records, where it reached number five on the Billboard 200, remaining on the chart for 106 weeks, 27 of those in the Top 40. The US version contained some of Hendrix's best known songs, including the Experience's first three singles, which, though omitted from the British edition of the LP, were top ten hits in the UK: "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe", and "The Wind Cries Mary". In 2005, Rolling Stone ranked Are You Experienced fifteenth on it's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. They placed four songs from the album on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time: "Purple Haze" (17), "Foxy Lady" (153), "Hey Joe" (201), and "The Wind Cries Mary" (379). That same year, the record was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress in recognition of it's cultural significance to be added to the National Recording Registry. Writer and archivist Rueben Jackson of the Smithsonian Institution wrote: "it's still a landmark recording because it is of the rock, R&B, blues... musical tradition. It altered the syntax of the music... in a way I compare to James Joyce's Ulysses."

Package arrived 2 days early. Album arrived in great condition. I love TMM. Probably one of my favorite albums. The marbled color look looks so cool. Highly recommend.

Great quality and fast shipping
Absolute treat having this great album on vinyl
Sounds good, looks good
quick delivery! In excellent condition :) Very happy with my purchase
I ordered this vinyl and it came in, I was super excited and every other record seemed to be fine. This one however had a bend, now it was sealed and there seemed to be no other damage so my assumption is it was a distributor issue but when I contacted to just make them aware, pale blue dot sent me another. This is the type of customer service that is above and beyond and it has made me a repeat customer. I cannot say anything better about the communication involved and the shipping speed was just as fast as well. This has become my new go to.
Bought here specifically because I found TDH for a good price but the customer service made it so much better. This particular album came in perfect. Will be ordering from here again.
Absolutely stunning
Packaged nicely and shipped super quick! The album is amazing and the vinyl is a beautiful red with little black swirls throughout!

Great selection, prices and shipping speed. Superior customer service! Tristan is not only quick to respond but extremely knowledgeable.
My first order but definitely won’t be the last!
Thank you Tristan and Pale Blue Dot Records!
This vinyl was very hard to find. It’s a great album by The Used and one of my favorites. I had a couple bad experiences with other companies but glad I found Pale Blue Dot. The quality of my vinyl received was perfect. Shipping was fast. Seller was communicative. I definitely plan to purchase through them rather than dealing with the mess of going through another company in the future. 10/10 would recommend.
Very beautiful variant :) came all intact
High quality vinyl, sounds accurate to the original source, I guess that earns a 5/5 from me
Love it
