Alan
Douglas
Alan Douglas is an American record producer who has worked with Jimi
Hendrix, Miles Davis, Lenny Bruce and the Last Poets. He runs his
own record label, Douglas Records.
Douglas' production work
on many of Hendrix's posthumous releases was controversial. On
nearly all the tracks on the Crash Landing and Midnight Lightning
LPs Douglas replaced the original drum and bass tracks and added
guitar overdubs newly recorded by session musicians, as well as
adding female backing singers to one track. On the much later Voodoo
Soup compilation album he wiped original drum tracks on two songs
and replaced them with Bruce Gary.
Second, on the 1993 CD releases of Hendrix’s three studio albums,
the original album artwork and packaging were scrapped in favor of
new renderings of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
However,
Douglas's supporters credit him with maintaining, if not reviving,
Hendrix’s musical legacy during the 1980s and 1990s and note that
many younger fans appreciated the access to the then out-of-print
material included on many of Douglas’ releases.
