Hendrix was insecure about his voice and often recorded his vocals hidden behind studio screens. He sang backing vocals himself on the title track and on 'Long Hot Summer Night'. As recording progressed, Chandler became frustrated with Hendrix's perfectionism and his demands for repeated takes.Hendrix allowed friends and guests to join them in the studio, which contributed to a chaotic and crowded environment in the control room and led Chandler to sever his professional relationship with Hendrix. Bassist recalled: 'There were tons of people in the studio; you couldn't move. It was a party, not a session.'
Redding, who had formed his own band in mid-1968, found it increasingly difficult to fulfill his commitments with the Experience, so Hendrix played many of the bass parts. The album's cover states that it was 'produced and directed by Jimi Hendrix'. The was the only Experience album mixed entirely in stereo.Hendrix experimented with other combinations of musicians, including 's and 's, who played bass and organ on the fifteen-minute slow-blues jam '.
Hendrix appeared at an impromptu jam with B.B. Music According to music journalist, Electric Ladyland is 'undoubtedly a rock album, albeit rock on the point of evolving into something else.' Magazine's John Robinson said that its music reconciles the of Hendrix's earlier recordings with the aggressive he would explore on his 1970 album. During its recording, Kramer experimented with innovative studio techniques such as, and, which 's Cub Koda said recontextualized Hendrix's psychedelic and funk sounds on the album.Electric Ladyland is a cross-section of Hendrix's wide range of musical talent. It includes examples of several genres and styles of music: the psychedelic 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp', a UK single the previous summer (1967), the extended blues jam ', the New Orleans-style of 's ', the epic studio production of ', the social commentary of 'House Burning Down', and the Sixties-era of 's 'Little Miss Strange'. The album also features an electric reworking of the classic ', which has been well-received by critics as well as by Dylan himself, and also ', a staple of both radio and guitar repertoire.

Cover of Electric Ladyland released byused its art department, which produced a cover image by photographer, who also shot the inside cover portrait of Hendrix, depicting nineteen nude women lounging in front of a black background. Hendrix expressed initial displeasure and surprise with this 'naked lady' cover (but later told Rolling Stone Magazine that he 'dug it anyway'), much as he was displeased with the cover, which he found disrespectful. The cover was banned by several record dealers as 'pornographic', while others sold it with the gatefold cover turned inside out, or in a brown wrapper.In France and the countries, Hendrix's albums were released on.
Release and reception Electric Ladyland was released in the US on October 16, 1968.

The was the Experience's most commercially successful release and Hendrix's only number-one album. In the UK, it peaked at number six and charted for 12 weeks.Electric Ladyland confounded contemporary critics; reviewers praised some of its songs but felt the album lacked structure and sounded too dense. Called it 'mixed-up and muddled', with the exception of 'All Along the Watchtower', which the magazine called a masterpiece.
Reviewing for in 1968, said Hendrix's original songs sometimes sound and was somewhat disappointed by the 'heavy handed guitar' on '1983. (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)' and the science-fiction conclusion to 'House Burning Down'. Ultimately, Glover appreciated the 'energy flow' unifying the songs and described Hendrix as 'amazing', adding that Electric Ladyland serves as 'an extended look into Hendrix’s head, and mostly it seems to have some pretty good things in it (who among us is totally free of mental garbage?)'. Was more enthusiastic in, regarding it as an explosive showcase of rock's 'most important recent innovation'—the 'heavy' guitar aesthetic—and 'an integrated work-in-itself in more ways than one'. He found the production exceptional—'the best job of stereo for its own sake I know'—and was surprisingly impressed by the quality of the lyrics. While most guitarists in rock believed improvisation to be a straightforward endeavor, Christgau said 'Hendrix achieves unique effects, effects you'll never get from ', citing 'Voodoo Chile' as an example.
