  Electric Lady Studios/History
Construction started in 1969, beginning with studios A and B. The second floor was offices and the third floor was an apartment that Jimi used regularly, even though he had his own place around the corner.
Its opening on August 26th, 1970 was a pivotal event during an era of record-company owned studios, which were often incapable of meeting rock musicians' demands, and the independents, with their inadequate equipment and lack of facilities.
Electric Lady placed an emphasis on comfort, fostering a creative environment for a new generation of musicians.

In 1995, when Kinky eventually released his second career retrospective CD, 'From One Good American To Another', he included several cuts from this live 'Electric Lady' performance on it, minus any of the between-song banter (and with the year of recording mis-identified on the liner notes).
I later had the opportunity to ask Kinky if the live 'Electric Lady' cuts on the CD had come from the tape I had given him, or if he had gotten them from some other source.

Like his first room did 32 years ago, the 1,200 studios John Storyk and Beth Walters have designed together include at least a control room and one busy coffee machine--but that's where the similarities between Electric Lady Studios in 1969 and any one of their latest creations end.
Storyk co-founded WSDG with studio interior designer and wife Beth Walters in 1989, and along with partners Sam Berkow and Scott Yates the four have attended countless studio openings ever since.
I won't lie, though, Electric Lady was a heck of an experience.

From the same source as "Live And Unreleased -The Radio Show", but with a few differences, this mainly studio collection has a rare fourth live CD (without all the DJ chat and interviews that are all over the other three) featuring The Experience at the LA Forum 26/04/69.
These had flashy new covers (the original covers were on the back of the booklets) and although not achieving the greatness of the original American vinyl pressings, they really did freshen up things compared to the first generation of CD releases.
Some interesting studio jams are included, "Lover man" (in fact two takes cleverly edited together) opens with the intro that Jimi usually used for "Killing Floor" then takes off into an awesome display of screeching rock guitar.

By October 1969, with Mitch Mitchell having returned to England, Jimi teamed with Cox and former Electric Flag drummer Buddy Miles to form the Band Of Gypsys.
Before this studio recording could be issued, Hendrix instead released a live version taped at the Fillmore East on January 1, 1970 as part of Band Of Gypsys.
With the live version now available, issuing a studio recording of the same song, however different in style or arrangement, seemed regressive in Hendrix1s view and not in keeping with his plans for the projected double album First Rays Of The New Rising Sun.

Bruce said he thought it was the best album he EVER worked on and was bringing record guys into Electric Lady to play the rough mixes for them right at the studio.
Bruce called me one day because the studio wouldn't release the tapes to him so he could play them for a guy coming in that day from MCA because they supposedly weren't paid for, but we had paid the recording amount in full to the producer before we began recording.
