Post Description

MCA continued the series of definitive masters of the Jimi Hendrix catalogue in 2000, releasing the self-titled box set The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The material includes alternate recordings, live performances and some rarities. This 4-CD set consists ENTIRELY of unreleased/unavailable Jimi, both studio and live performances amounting to (gulp!) over four hours and 56 tracks! There are four newly discovered songs never heard anywhere else, plus alternate versions of such Hendrix favorites as Purple Haze; Hey Joe; Stone Free , and an instrumental version of Little Wing . Then there's the live gems, like a live-in-France 1967 rendition of The Wind Cries Mary , and live-in-the studio rehearsals, like a crushing rendition of Gloria done in Hollywood in late October 1968.
