The first generation Reprise CD released circa 1985.
Produced by Professor Stoned
The first posthumous Hendrix Studio album, 'The Cry of Love' does give a complete image of the musical direction that Hendrix was heading into,
more than any other posthumous album.
The Reprise 2034-2 CD used here came out circa 1985 and was the very first one. It was mastered by Lee Herschberg and used a 1st generation mastertape. Near the end of the eighties Polydor released different sounding CD's in Europe and Japan. These used higher generation mastertapes, and were additionally EQ-ed. Reprise also did a remastered version of COL (by Joe Gastwirt) for the US market at the same time, and thus deleted the 2034-2 from their catalogue. Although that CD also used the same 1st generation master, it was given a heavy no-noise treatment, and is therefore the worst sounding version of COL ever to appear.
