Are You Experienced is the debut studio album by English-American rock band the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Released in 1967, the LP was an immediate critical and commercial success, and it is widely regarded as one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock music. The album features Jimi Hendrix's innovative approach to songwriting and electric guitar playing which soon established a new direction in psychedelic and hard rock music. It was recorded over a five-month period from October 1966 to April 1967, in sixteen sessions at three London locations. Released in the UK on May 12, 1967, Are You Experienced spent 33 weeks on the charts, peaking at number two. The album was issued in the US on August 23 by Reprise Records, where it reached number five on the US Billboard Top LPs, remaining on the chart for 106 weeks. The US version contained some of Hendrix's best known songs, including the group's first three singles, "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe", and "The Wind Cries Mary". In 2005, the record was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress in recognition of its cultural significance to be added to the National Recording Registry.

 * Comment Unless you have something else in mind, wouldn't it make sense to hold this back so we have something Hendrix-related to run on the 50th anniversary of his death? &#8209; Iridescent 15:23, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Scond though: I'd say we could run Jimi Hendrix another time then, last time was 2014. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:42, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
