According to Paul Cashmere from Undercover.com.au, JIMI HENDRIX will have another DVD released before the end of the year. Universal will release At Last … The Beginning: The Making of Electric Ladyland and the companion Electric Ladyland Collector’s Edition CD and DVD.

The announcement of the release comes days after the news of the death of the last member of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Mitch Mitchell. The album is historic. It featured ‘All Along The Watchtower’, ‘Crosstown Traffic’ and ‘Burning of the Midnight Lamp’. It was also the only Hendrix album to reach number one on the Billboard chart.

The doco was originally made in 1997 for the Classic Albums series. It has been expanded with 40 more minutes of footage.

Some of Jimi’s closest associates are seen on screen discussing their recollections of Hendrix and the project including bassist Noel Redding, drummer Mitch Mitchell, manager Chas Chandler who discovered Hendrix after he left the Animals; drummer Buddy Miles who appeared on the album and later went on to work with Hendrix in THE BAND OF GYPSYS, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE’s Jack Casady, STEVE WINWOOD and DAVE MASON from TRAFFIC and others who participated in the Electric Ladyland sessions that took place at Olympic studios in London and The Record Plant in New York. One of the highlights of the program includes a session with original Electric Ladyland engineer Eddie Kramer who discusses the techniques Hendrix, Mitchell and Redding employed in recording Electric Ladyland and playing some of the original multitrack tapes to illustrate the process.

The special edition of Electric Ladyland will be released to mark its 40th anniversary.
