Chandler brought Hendrix to London and began recruiting members for a band designed to showcase the guitarist's talents, the Jimi Hendrix Experience. In late October, after having been rejected by Decca Records, the Experience signed with Track, a new label formed by the Who's managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp. Are You Experienced and its preceding singles were recorded over a five-month period from late October 1966 through early April 1967. The album was completed in sixteen recording sessions at three London locations, including De Lane Lea Studios, CBS, and Olympic. Released in the UK on May 12, 1967, Are You Experienced spent 33 weeks on the charts, peaking at number two. The album was issued in the US on August 23 by Reprise Records, where it reached number five on the Billboard 200, remaining on the chart for 106 weeks, 27 of those in the Top 40. The US version contained some of Hendrix's best known songs, including the Experience's first three singles, which, though omitted from the British edition of the LP, were top ten hits in the UK: "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe", and "The Wind Cries Mary". In 2005, Rolling Stone ranked Are You Experienced fifteenth on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. They placed four songs from the album on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time: "Purple Haze" (17), "Foxy Lady" (153), "Hey Joe" (201), and "The Wind Cries Mary" (379). That same year, the record was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress in recognition of its cultural significance to be added to the National Recording Registry. Writer and archivist Rueben Jackson of the Smithsonian Institution wrote: "it's still a landmark recording because it is of the rock, R&B, blues ... musical tradition. It altered the syntax of the music ... in a way I compare to James Joyce's Ulysses."

- Are You Experienced (also known as Are You Experienced?; sometimes shortened to RUX or AYE) is the debut studio album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, released on May 12th 1967 in the United Kingdom and August 23rd 1967 in the United States. The album was produced by the band's manager, Chas Chandler, and was recorded between October 23rd 1966 and April 3rd 1967 at De Lane Lea, CBS and Olympic Sound Studios. Two singles were released from RUX worldwide: "Hey Joe" b/w "Stone Free" (UK) and "51st Anniversary" (US), and "Purple Haze" b/w "51st Anniversary" (UK) and "The Wind Cries Mary" (US). "The Wind Cries Mary" b/w "Highway Chile" was released as a UK-only single, and "Foxy Lady" b/w "Hey Joe" was limited only to the United States. "Purple Haze" was the highest-charting single from the album, reaching #3 in the UK, though only #65 in the US. RUX gave Hendrix his first chance to showcase his unique style, comprising feedback-ridden electric guitar riffs and solos, superb blues/rock songwriting, psychedelic sound effects and rhythm and blues-influenced vocal work, which helped to launch the band into the international spotlight, just under a year since forming. The album contained many of what eventually became the band's best-known songs, including "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe" and "Foxy Lady", the former two of which only appeared on the North American track list (the one which Hendrix himself chose) due to record label issues. AYE also contains the band's only 'conventional' (12-bar) blues song; the mighty "Red House".
