Experience Hendrix e Legacy Recordings collaboreranno ancora una volta per pubblicare una nuova edizione deluxe del secondo fondamentale album dei The Jimi Hendrix Experience del 1968, il 7 novembre. Rititolato semplicemente Bold As Love e disponibile su quattro CD o cinque LP e un Blu-ray, il cofanetto includerà l'album originale nei suoi mix stereo e mono originali (oltre a nuovi mix Atmos creati dall'ingegnere del suono originale Eddie Kramer e Chandler Harrod), insieme a una vasta gamma di rari outtake e brani live dell'epoca (28 dei quali inediti). Il cofanetto include nuove note di copertina di David Fricke e dello storico di lunga data dell'eredità John McDermott, oltre a una nuova copertina ispirata a un disegno di un drago che Hendrix fece da bambino, selezionato personalmente dalla sorella Janie.

Con  Axis: Bold As Love , Hendrix iniziò a affermarsi come visionario in studio. Lavorando di nuovo con il bassista Noel Redding e il batterista Mitch Mitchell come The Jimi Hendrix Experience, e con il team del produttore Chas Chandler e dell'ingegnere del suono Eddie Kramer dietro le quinte, l'album conteneva composizioni originali più ampie, da epici brani guidati dalla chitarra come "Little Wing" e la title track all'allegra "Wait Until Tomorrow", alla jazzata "Up from the Skies" e altro ancora. Mentre il perfezionismo di Hendrix avrebbe allontanato Redding e Chandler da progetti futuri, l'album sarebbe stato accolto positivamente dalla critica e dal pubblico quanto l'album di debutto "  Are You Experienced" , pubblicato solo pochi mesi prima. (Retrospettivamente, sarebbe stato oscurato in modo comparabile dagli LP in studio che lo precedevano.)

Il  cofanetto "Bold As Love"  ripercorre la breve ma fondamentale evoluzione dell'album in studio e sul palco. Tra i pezzi scartati, due brani, "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" e "The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice", pubblicati come singoli non inclusi nell'album; un set live in studio a Stoccolma, Svezia, pubblicato per la prima volta nel cofanetto pre-Experience Hendrix  Stages  del 1991; oltre a più di due dozzine di pezzi scartati e demo in studio, tra cui una prima versione di "Stone Free" e "Up from the Skies", che potete ascoltare qui sotto.
