Axis: Bold as Love is the second studio album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Under pressure from their record company to follow-up the successful debut of their May 1967 album Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love was released on Track Records in the UK in December 1967 (source Wikipedia)

Side one No. Title Length 1. "EXP" 1:55 2. "Up from the Skies" 2:55 3. "Spanish Castle Magic" 3:00 4. "Wait Until Tomorrow" 3:00 5. "Ain't No Telling" 1:46 6. "Little Wing" 2:24 7. "If 6 Was 9" 5:32 Side two No. Title Length 8. "You Got Me Floatin'" 2:45 9. "Castles Made of Sand" 2:46 10. "She's So Fine" (Noel Redding) 2:37 11. "One Rainy Wish" 3:40 12. "Little Miss Lover" 2:20 13. "Bold as Love" 4:11

The last recording by Hendrix to have a dedicated mono mix, which was only released in the UK and US. The album was released in stereo in the rest of the world. The Polydor (Europe and Japan only) release mysteriously had a different stereo mix from that originally released in the UK, France, the US and the rest of the world. It later appeared on a Backtrack budget LP release but before long replaced the original mix on all Polydor reissues and re-pressings, outside of French Barclay territory and US/Canada Reprise, including the first UK CD. This may have been a simple confusion over which tape in Polydor's library was sent to the mastering facility. Later CD reissues have reverted to the original mix.
