Jimi Hendrix : Electric Ladyland was really expensive because we were recording and playing at the same time, which is a whole lot of strain on you. Therefore, you have to go back into the studio and re-do what you might have done two nights ago. That's twice as much strain on you.
The whole LP means so much. It wasn't just slopped together. Every little thing on there means something. It's not a little game we're playing.
Some of the mix came out muddy, with too much bass. We mixed it and produced it but, when it came time for them to press it, quite naturally, they screwed up, because they didn't know what we wanted. There's 3-D sound being used on there that you can't even appreciate because they didn't know how to cut it properly. They thought it was out of phase.
Lenny Kravitz : Voodoo Chile just howls from the soul. It's so intense. Sometimes I put it on, I can't even take it.
