LIMITED EDITION. RARE STUDIO OUT-TAKES.
Many familiar studio outtakes here, some of which, unfortunately for Purple Haze Records, were compiled only a few months earlier on the Villanova Junction on the unofficial Burning Airlines label. It's annoying that "Three Little Bears" is included on this release as it has already appeared on a Villanova Junction as well. Other tracks you have had before: you know "Country Blues" of course from the MCA box and Martin Scorsese Presents and a host of bootlegs, but here the track is much longer as you hear it go into riffs from "Astro Man". The track finally fades out as Jimi goes into "Hey Baby". That "Cherokee Mist" is the same as the MCA Box version but here it eventually breaks down before the band go into a basic rhythmic run through of "Valleys Of Neptune". Three other tracks, "Voodoo Chile", "Once I Had A Woman" and "Hear My Train A Comin'"(from Berkeley) are on the official Blues compilation. So apart from all those duplications, what else is there to offer? There is the great opener, "Lord I Sing The Blues For You And Me", which is an interesting blues jam (recorded on 6th September 1969) with Jimi trading licks with Larry Lee and Jimi puts in a brief but powerful vocal. This from the Drone Blues and Diamonds In The Dust bootlegs, listed as "Crying Blue Rain" on the latter. The jam is listed as simply "Blues For You And Me" in the Ultimate Hendrix book (McDermott/Kramer/Cox) which informs us that Alan Douglas had pencilled it in for an abandoned blues compilation to be titled "Multicolored Blues", it ended up as Blues, and he had also considered including it on the Nine To The Universe LP in the early 80s. The only problem with it is that the 5 minute central guitar solo is by Larry Lee. The great "Villanova Junction Blues" appeared soon after on the Dagger Records jam album Burning Desire, but chopped up into three tracks. Finally, "Stray Blues", a.k.a. "Dancing Blues", "Winter Blues", "Hollywood/Duet Jam" and "Devil Blues", is a diving blues jam. In his book, Noel Redding says that he is the second guitarist on the track! Apart from the fact that so many tracks here have already been seen before, and the unfortunate inclusion of "Three Little Bears" again, this is a collection of very good jams with excellent sound quality.
