A new album from The Jimi Hendrix Experience. 40 years too late - where have they been hiding this stuff? It's fantastic. Some previously unheard songs as well as some later versions of familiar stuff - all studio tracks and all engineered by the original Hendrix engineer Eddie Cramer. One of my favourites is the fantastic full band electric version of "Hear My Train Coming" which was previously available as an acoustic demo. What a brilliant version of "Fire" with a blistering guitar solo that was missing from the earlier version. This album proves what a force Jimi was in the development of modern rock guitar technique. There has never been another musician that comes anywhere near producing such spaced out pschedelic blues masterpieces as James Marshall Hendrix.
