Product Description 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. Amazon.com "Man, we don't fish or go bowling like other people do," Jimi Hendrix would say to bassist Billy Cox. "We make music, and this is fun." This remark explains how a man with three official studio albums could have produced so many compelling outtakes and oddities in a mere four years. To be sure, some of the alternate versions of the classic cuts across these four CDs are simply historical curiosities included to illustrate the development of a song. But the collection is also packed full of revelations.
