- ... released its first album in early 1967. Popular music had been leaning towards psychedelics for a couple years already and Are You Experienced? came out at about the same time as the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Are You Experienced? far exceeded the Beatles' triumph in complexity, capturing the essence of the late 1960's culture. Naturally the newer band did not share the immediate success of the Beatles.

Most prominent were the absence of "Purple Haze" and the addition of Hendrix standard "Red House".

- 3476: Canada - Of the United States of America
- ... institutions which differ and are better from those in the United States, but economically the country has been all but sold out to America.
