This four-disc set has nearly every mix and take (recorded prior to 5/67) of the tracks that appeared on "Are You Experienced" (Europe and US) and the frst 3 European singles.
Vinyl, CD, and tape were used as sources.
Outtake material from Out of the Studio, Out of the Studio 2, Olympic Gold, and Are You Experienced The Sessions was examined, and the best version of each take was used. This means stereo where available. In the case of Purple Haze (4), there are 2 unique mixes, so both were included.
This set contains the complete AYE monos released on Track and Reprise.
Although the mixes are the same on both releases, you may hear differences in the overall sound.
Both of these are hard enough to find in good condition that it seemed better to include both. Which you prefer will be a matter of opinion.
The vinyl tracks were manually declicked, and then subjected to a light automated de-crackle.
There is still noise in places, but some types of vinyl noise are nearly impossible to remove completely. These tracks still sound pretty good, though.
Besides channel averaging on the mono cuts, no other processing was done to the vinyl tracks.
The chat intro to Red House (Disc 1 tr 9) was not edited onto tr 10.
This was in case people wanted to easily extract the Track mono cuts to generate a Track mono CD.
Also, the Track vinyl was used for Remember (1) and Red House (1), even though both of these have appeared on official CD.
This was so that the complete Track release would be included. They sound pretty good despite their checkered past
