Hendrix’s perfectionism along with his invited guests in the studio led to Chandler eventually ending their relationship. The last straw for him was Hendrix’s constant demand for repeated takes. Unlike the previous two albums, Are You Experienced (1967) and Axis: Bold as Love (1967), Chandler began to lose his firm grip on the band. The chaos spilled over into the recording sessions as Hendrix started to regularly invite friends to hang out and even sit in. In April of 1968, the band finally settled in at Record Plant Studios in New York City with their manager (and former Animals bassist) Chas Chandler at the helm. Recording for Electric Ladyland initially began in July of 1967 at several different studios. With Hendrix’s popularity skyrocketing, there was no shortage of people coming along for the ride, whether it be on the road or in the studio. It was a surefire way to burn out a band. The band had to record album tracks in between gigs because of their frenetic tour schedule that did not allow for any downtime. As you can imagine, life with Hendrix was nothing short of chaotic. His dedication was akin to that of a gym rat who constantly works on his game on the basketball court.
