The 28 tracks assembled for this double CD were originally released as three individual vinyl LPs, each one reflecting a different period in the brief career of probably rock’s greatest guitarist, Jimi Hendrix.These are rare studio out-takes, comprising of forgotten songs, forgotten versions and recordings that were found in studios, lofts, garages and basements. The false starts and abrupt endings are all part of the experience, the magic moments that provide a unique glimpse of one of rock’s true sonic explorers in the studio as he endeavours to fashion loose musical ideas into developed songs or as frameworks for his electrifying live jams.So much of Hendrix’s musical output was poorly recorded that sonic quality played a significant part in the selection of these tracks. Most sound extremely good, but some, such as Angel, which was recorded in Jimi’s apartment, are excellent. 48-bit mastering technology was used to enhance the audio quality as much as possible.Here, then, is an opportunity to hear Jimi Hendrix working in the studio, behind closed doors and at various stages in his short career.
