"All Along the Watchtower," originally written and recorded by Bob Dylan, was record by the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968 at Olympic Studios in London, beginning with a recording session on 21 January. According to engineer Andy Johns, Jimi Hendrix had been given a tape of Dylan’s recording by publicist Michael Goldstein, who worked for Dylan’s manager Albert Grossman. “(Hendrix) came in with these Dylan tapes and we all heard them for the first time in the studio”, recalled Johns.
