it has fallen to YOU Preludiner to decide how the future will regard "Electric Ladyland" which cover? Winston Smith is standing by to adjust the history of this landmark l.p. to meet YOUR personal standards.
the one he supposedly wanted:
the one I'm used to: NAKED LADIES!!!
Experience Hendrix version (more or less): |

I think the statue (fountain?) one is the best cover and I voted for it, but the Hendrix face/band one arguably captures the feel of the music the best.

Naked Ladies is what I'm used to. I didn't know the others existed.

Let's display the US cover a little more clearly... front:  back:  I would point out the back cover's cool "callback" to the Are You Experienced front cover... except that we didn't get that AYE cover in the US, and the UK didn't get this ELL back cover, so... maybe not a proper callback, then. |

I love both the fountain one and the US face one, though the latter is the one i'm most used to as it was the first version i owned. The ladies one always makes me feel a little awkward.

Ladies obviously. And that's not to do with any "corr look at the boobs" perving, it's just the cover I'm used to. The others are banal in contrast.

I've never seen that first one before, but I like it for its Hangman's Beautiful Daughter vibe. Otherwise, the US face one is better.

Jimi hated and was offended by the naked cover (UK Track), but it is the collectible cover/version.
