Album Cover CZAR: Electric Ladyland

[Reactionary Rage]

Ladies.

I think it’s a striking image. The others seem half baked

I like the children cover just because it's a side of Jimi we maybe needed to know about. It was his choice after all, and it's really nice!

I agree with Charlie that the orange face cover is more what the album "sounds like", though I know Slider maintains the ladies one is, with Steve Winwood's grubby fingers slithering all over these women in dark London corners (or something, well hey, it's the Slider).

This is my favourite by far - the French "comics" reissue with artwork by Philippe Druillet

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.

It is a callback, though, in the sense that it's got Jimi wearing that spooky eyes shirt again. Which, I just recently learned, was hand-painted by Chris Jagger.

mick jagger wore a similar jacket in 1967.

i alway's thought they were designed by michall rainey of 'hung on you'. have a look at the tie on the right in the photo below. it's the same kind of design.
