Stockholm, Radiohuset, Sweden 
Interview by Lief Andersson for Pop 68 Special  radio show, broadcast 14 January 1968.
Jimi sounds like he has a cold:

Jimi: This is Jimi Hendrix of the-uh, Jimi Hendrix Experience
Lief : Hello Jimi. Eh, about your new album Axis Bold As Love, how would you explain the 
title? 
Jimi: Well-uh, like, the axis of the Earth, you know, if it changes, well, it changes the whole 
face of the Earth, like, every few thousand years, you know, and it’s like love in a human being, if he really falls in love deep enough, it will change him, ha-ha-you know, it might change his whole life, so, both of them can really go together, you know.
Lief : It’s a very expensive album, eh, the cover is said to cost-eh, three thousand pounds 
Jimi: Well, I don’-I don’t really know, you know, our manager takes care of all that bit, you 
know
Lief : But-eh, how would you describe the sleeve, the cover?
Jimi: Well, I liked the inside cover the best, really, you know. Like-um, they have a Indian 
painting of-about us, you know. Well, it’s all right, you know. I can hardly wait ‘til the next one comes though-huh, next one’ll be better
Lief : Eh, who’s the designer… of the cover?
Jimi: Oh, it’s very embarassing, because I forgot his name, you know, he works for-uh one 
of the English newspapers huh, and he just happened to get that together for us, which was very nice
Lief : Was it all recorded in London?
Jimi: Uh, Yes, it was, at the Olympic Studios
Lief : Eh, Jimi, any film offers?
Jimi: Oh, yeah, well, we get those, but, like, we’re tryin’ to get-uh, like, Scandinavia, an’ 
The Continent, an’-uh, Japan, Australia an’, you know, America together. You know, we’re tryin’ to play all these places, so we don’t have time really right now, you know
Lief : Ah, I see. But what kind of film scripts are you interested in?
Jimi: Oh, I want to play the bad guy, maybe, you know-ha-ha
Lief : Ha-ha-uh
Jimi: Ha-ha, Mexican bandit, me 
Lief : Ha-ha-uh, yeah
Jimi: Who finally does good at the end, k-huh
Lief : Yeah. Eh, you’re not trying to establish one sound as a guitar player?
Jimi: No. Not necessarily. We just like to play, an’ the sound that comes about happens – 
most of the time – accidental, you know. Like, like, as you grow older you change slightly, without knowing sometimes, and that’s what happens to our music sometimes, you know, an’-uh, I just don’t like one style, really, I like to play-uh, maybe, country, or blues, or anything
Lief : Will there be a follow up to ’Burning Of The Midnight Lamp’ very soon?
Jimi: Uh-we’, maybe around the early, early Spring. Like, we’re workin’ on different things, 
we have different-uh tracks layin’ about, so, what, you know, we’ll try to get something. I’d like to get a brand new song though, ‘cause I’ve been thinkin’ of some very good songs lately 
Lief : Will you suggest a track for us to play from your new album?
Jimi: Well-uh, there’s one song on there, we-we did a lot of sound on, you know, we put 
the guitar through the Leslie speaker of a organ
Lief : Yeah
Jimi: An’ it go’-sounds like jelly bread, you know, it goes je-e’. So I was wondering if you 
could play Little Wing
Lief : Okay
Jimi : We thank you
Lief : [Plays Little Wing]…
