A little OT but what is the best sounding CD-Version of Electric Ladyland.

I have lost my LP years ago

I have ordered this one:

The included mp3s sound odd and not as I remember this great album. DR6 ...

Here you go

If you are not ready to surf through all the posts on that forum - they recommend West German pressing with naked ladies cover. That is old OOP 2CD fatbox with catalog number 823 359-2. You'll be lucky if you'll get 'full silver' CDs with no inscription on the hub or 'full silver' with MADE IN W. GERMANY BY PDO string.

Yes thanks I have looked there and the old german pressing is unreasonable expensive nowadays...

Back in the days nobody liked this 2CD version ;-)

I will wait for the CD from 2012 to arrive, perhapse it is better than the mp3s ...

There is of course the 50th Anniversary box set that just came out, that includes the 5.1 surround sound, a live set (which is not that great IMHO), early demos etc. Have not seen it mentioned in this thread yet (although I did not click on the link). I have it, and it is good. Runs around $50. There's a thread about it.

BUT, for my money...I have a Japanese SHM version of Electric Ladyland that blows doors! Had to buy it thru eBay, but worth every penny (also around $50 as I recall). They play on all regular CD players. Stunning!
