The deluxe box set boasts previously unreleased demos and live recordings, a documentary on the making of the album, a new 5.1 surround sound mix by Eddie Kramer, 24 bit/96 kz high resolution stereo audio, a book containing handwritten lyrics and never-before-seen photos.
Eddie Kramer recently spoke about the updated mix, telling Rolling Stone: "There’s so much more clarity and so much more depth. You really can understand and hear a lot more detail of the underlying instruments, the rhythm guitars that Jimi put in, the subtle things that were going on with the background vocals, the percussion. It’s just in your face. You feel like you’re in the room with the band.”
