RUX gave Hendrix his first chance to showcase his unique style, comprising feedback-ridden electric guitar riffs and solos, superb blues/rock songwriting, psychedelic sound effects and rhythm and blues-influenced vocal work, which helped to launch the band into the international spotlight, just under a year since forming. " Purple Haze" was the highest-charting single from the album, reaching #3 in the UK, though only #65 in the US. "The Wind Cries Mary" b/w " Highway Chile" was released as a UK-only single, and " Foxy Lady" b/w "Hey Joe" was limited only to the United States. Two singles were released from RUX worldwide: " Hey Joe" b/w " Stone Free" (UK) and " 51st Anniversary" (US), and " Purple Haze" b/w "51st Anniversary" (UK) and " The Wind Cries Mary" (US). The album was produced by the band's manager, Chas Chandler, and was recorded between October 23rd 1966 and April 3rd 1967 at De Lane Lea, CBS and Olympic Sound Studios. Are You Experienced (also known as Are You Experienced? sometimes shortened to RUX or AYE) is the debut studio album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, released on May 12th 1967 in the United Kingdom and August 23rd 1967 in the United States.
