Topics Include: Interview start – Will Jerry be down in Australia? I Want Blood, Jerry's new album, drops October 18, with a couple of tracks already streaming - pre-order vinyl editions of I Want Blood on jerrycantrell.com. That wall of vinyl from an old interview? Not Jerry's—just someone’s house they filmed in. While his own collection has gotten smaller, Jerry still enjoys spinning vinyl at home. Vinyl’s unique sound—compression, hiss, and all—keeps him hooked. Jerry’s been involved in vinyl reissues, like Black Gives Way to Blue, and more are on the way. Vinyl reissue plans of Self-Titled/Three-Legged Dog/Tripod album – 30th anniversary reissues Prefers creating albums - a commitment to what and where the band is at the time “Boggy Depot” & “Degradation Trip” were created close together, as were “Brighten” and “I Want Blood” Is there a theme or through line for “I Want Blood”? What did he learn about himself from this album? Spoken-word versions of the songs specifically for the vinyl packages Rather than etchings on vinyl, he prefers to give fans music content. The spoken-word tracks were backed by music contributed by different musicians in his orbit - adds a unique flavour to the album. He still loves making albums – writes music and considers the format Other vinyl reissues – The Devil put Dinosaurs Here They’ve managed to keep track of most of their tapes and artwork, despite some industry losses over the years. Jerry confirmed that the self-titled album’s master tapes are safe, debunking rumours they were lost. What’s up with Alice In Chains LIVE, Unplugged, etc? When is a song for Alice in Chains and when is it a solo album track? After an album and tour cycle, Jerry often takes a break from playing guitar to recharge creatively. The next year – touring, solo shows, Alice In Chains dates, etc Interview wrap up Pre-order "I Want Blood" vinyl here Extended, Commercial-Free & High Resolution version of this podcast is available at: www.Patreon.com/VinylGuide Listen on Apple: https://apple.co/2Y6ORU0 Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/36qhlc8

    Ep466: Eddie Kramer - The Making of Electric Lady Studios

    Legendary producer Eddie Kramer shares the history and legacy of Electric Lady Studios, the revolutionary space built for Jimi Hendrix’s creative genius - from its groundbreaking design, Hendrix’s final sessions, to the incredible impact this iconic studio had on rock music history. Topics Include: Electric Lady wasn’t just a studio; it was Jimi Hendrix’s creative sanctuary. Back in the ‘70s, having your own studio as a rock artist was unheard of—Jimi changed that. They transformed a basement nightclub into a cutting-edge studio, unlike anything else at the time. Jimi lived just blocks away—he’d walk over with his guitar and just dive into creating. The vibe at Electric Lady was pure Jimi—his vision made it an extension of himself. Eddie and the team prepped the studio for 24-tracks, even though it started at 16. The studio had custom innovations, like seating designed to keep friends out of sightlines. Hendrix loved working fast, and Electric Lady let him capture that energy in every session. Hendrix recorded there for four months before heading to Europe—and never returned. The documentary gives a glimpse of that magical time, full of outtakes and alternate mixes. Kramer talks about how they audited tapes and recorded new songs, blending old and new ideas. Fun fact: The round windows in the studio doors? Jimi’s idea. He loved to keep things unique. The Village was Jimi’s playground—he could walk around without being bothered. Eddie recalls marathon sessions with Jimi, cracking jokes between takes, always keeping it light. Hendrix was a master at balancing creativity and fun—there was always laughter in the room. Eddie mixed a lot of iconic music at Electric Lady, including tracks from David Bowie and Zeppelin. Hendrix wanted to expand his sound with strings and horns—his musical vision kept growing. The final sessions at Electric Lady were intense, but full of joy and excitement. Electric Lady still has the same vibe, with a layout that’s barely changed in over 50 years. The five LP box set coming out captures the magic of those original sessions—essential listening. Hendrix built Electric Lady to be his personal space, and it became a landmark for music history.
