In 1967, British photographer Gered Mankowitz had the opportunity to photograph the Jimi Hendrix Experience in two sessions at Mankowitz's legendary Masons Yard studio. As a testimony to their enduring quality, Mankowitz's images were selected as the covers for all of Jimi Hendrix's classic recordings. "The Experience" is the first complete collection of Mankowitz's two Masons Yard sessions with Hendrix and the Experience. Accompanied by essays from journalist rock historian Richie Unterberger, "The Experience" collects what are considered by many to be the finest photographs ever taken of Hendrx and the Experience.
