    Why was Jimi Hendrix disappointed with the cover art for his album "Axis Bold as Love"?

    Question #120158. Asked by star_gazer. (Jan 30 11 8:41 PM)

    		Because it showed Britain's current fad for all things Indian to create the cover and thus the album's cover has a photographed copy of a mass produced religious poster of the Hindu devotional painting known as Viraat Purushan-Vishnuroopam with a small, superimposed painting of the group by Roger Law (from a photo portrait by Karl Ferris) blended in.

    Jimi Hendrix said it would be more appropriate to showcase his American "Indian" heritage.
