A new documentary will tell that story of its creation, and an accompanying box set will highlight an unreleased trove of recordings from his few but pivotal sessions there. Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision, available September 13 as a 3CD or 5LP set, offers 39 demos and early takes from Hendrix's summer 1970
