1967.
🍓 London
↪ "Regent Sounds". Rehearsals of tracks for the upcoming Olympic studio sessions for Axis: Bold As Love.

Noel: "Thrown out after two songs for being too loud!"

James Baring (owner of Regent Sound): "Jimi was a lovely guy, but loud as you know, and he was the only guy that in the middle of the session a guy came round from next door at the Labour Exchange, and said: 'Guys, we can't actually carry on work at the Labour Exchange because we can't hear ourselves speak.'
"And it was a fact that Jimi was so loud that not only could they hear him in the Labour Exchange next door, but us in the control room had difficulty in distinguishing what came through the wall, and what came out of the speakers - so it was in fact [laughs] quite difficult to balance him.... So Jimi was very kind and very nice, and he said 'Okay guys, we've had a good rehearsal, we'd better find somewhere else to make our noise' and that was [laughs] it."
