As the 9th track on AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE, "Castles Made Of Sand" was recorded on October 5, 1967 during a lengthy session at Olympic Studios. After more than a dozen failed attempts, Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Kramer made some gear adjustments before recording a few examples for review. With the full band reconvened, the 18th take resulted in the album's master recording. #CastlesMadeOfSand #JimiHendrix #AxisBoldAsLove | Jimi Hendrix

Work on "Castles Made Of Sand" began in October 1967 with the song originally titled "Title Z" then "Sand Castles" during the October 5th session. When the song was revisited during the October 27th session, the song's final title -- "Castles Made Of Sand" -- came to light. Eddie Kramer and Chas Chandler discuss these early sessions. #JimiHendrix #Hendrix #BoldAsLove #CastlesMadeOfSand #EddieKramer | Jimi Hendrix
