Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Buddy Miles
and other musicians all find themselves at New York City's Scene Club
in 1968. What do you they do? They jam! Morrison is clearly wasted
and sings some interesting lyrics ("Morrison's Lament").
This is the kind of bootleg they'll never release. Its historical,
funny, and cool to put on at parties - no one else has heard it.

equipment the band were using (no mikes on the drums and none of the
benefits of a modern PA) and the primitive recording gear used by the
taper. Vocals are a little low but all in all an enjoyable ride.The
Miami show tracks here are direct from the master SB tape and clear

Time: 53'15This was the second night of the Konzert and the second
show by The Experience. The audience partook in smashing up chairs
and were generally a rowdy bunch not in the least part due to the
overdone attentions of the local constabulary. Into this riotous
atmosphere stepped The Experience to round things off. The show
nearly falls apart after the first number due to members of the crowd
showing their appreciation by throwing beer mats (coasters) up onto
the stage. After some chiding by Jimi and the MC things settle down
and a fine performance is turned in. This show was for many years
wrongly identified as being from the 30th may. This was corrected by
Ben Valkhoff some years ago (and if you don't have his EyeWitness
books then shame on you).

9. Purple Haze - 10. Wild ThingDespite being an audience recording
this one is definitely worth having as it is a very different type of
show. The first number, Traffic's Dear Mr Fantasy sets the tone for
the whole show. A very laid back and bluesy version of Rock Me Baby
follows, not at all the usual fast version. This is the only time I
can recall hearing it played in this fashion. Red House as ever is
superb. An unusual and unique show and our good fortune it was recorded.4

The version here is the complete concert in all it's noisy glory and just three steps down from the original tape. For an audience recording it can be classed as good and is perfectly easy to listen to.

Two songs are missing from this and every other
circulating soundboard for the 1st show, Purple Haze and Star
Spangled Banner, which come between Ezy Rider and Voodoo Child. No
trader tape known to circulate has these. Purple Haze appears in all
its soundboard glory on the "Jimi Hendrix" documentary
released in 1973, and is now out on DVD. Star Spangled Banner has
never to my knowledge appeared in soundboard form. An average
audience tape exists for this show, and has both songs missing from
the circulating soundboard. The soundcheck is missing one track, Ezy
Rider. The circulating soundboard is missing this entire song. It
does appear for a few seconds in the Jimi Hendrix: Berkeley video,
which is now out on DVD.
This tape for the 1st show was transferred from a DAT
clone of a 1st gen analog tape. Any other details are unknown. The
second set also circulated as a 1st gen tape, but isnt included here
since the entire second set was released officially recently. The
soundcheck is from a different source, and its generation is
"unsure". It is believed to be either 2nd or 3rd gen, but
there isnt really much certainty with that. It was the best source we
could track down, quality-wise.

1. I only used the Aud and reg "non-echo"
SBD. The Chuck Wein intro is from the echo laden RB2 boot. No video
source used at all
2. Added the front of three songs. ~~ONLY HERE~~
Unique to this show, all boot sources have at least one of three
songs that have the beginning partly missing a little. Dolly Dagger
now gets 1 whole note. Hey Baby #1 got a few minutes more and
Beginnings got between 30 seconds and a few minutes depending on what
you've maybe heard already. This also has the complete end to
theshow, all the way to that psychedelic decending crazy feedback at
the end.
3. I turned up Jimi's between song chat. ~~ONLY HERE~~
4. I did not speed correct at all, not needed (high
quality sources used) As a matter of fact, one of the patch/filler
aud sources, is in stereo bc I used the first pressing of the vinyl
boot it was on(I forgot the name of it).
5. Chat and Tune-ups are at the ends of each track

The Arhus show is probably the best sounding audience
tape for any Hendrix show. The next day's show in Copenhagen is one
of 4 known sources to circulate. PYE lists 5 sources, but most people
"in the know" that Ive talked with only know of 4 sources.
This is the "old source" as it is known in trader's
circles. There is a second complete source also circulating, the
quality is not as good as this one. Two incomplete sources exist, but
only one of those circulates. The one that doesnt circulate has
superior quality to the "old source", but is under a no
trade restriction with those that have it. Maybe one day it will work
its way out to the rest of us.
The Arhus show has been speed corrected. Tracks 1-10
of the Copenhagen show have been speed corrected as "best as
possible". There are fluctuations in speed which have been
mostly corrected, but some are too jarring to deal with.

Copenhagen 1970 FInal version
- 2CDr
Up until "Freedom" I mixed 3 sources: Source
1 left, Source 5 right and Source 2 in the middle.A lot of pitch
corrections were done on source 1 and 5. No EQ or filter smilters
were applied. Since Source 5 ends with "Freedom" the rest
of the concert consists of the two remaining sources: Source 1 left
and Source 2 on the right. I remixed the 'pre-Red House' part to omit
source 2, leaving Source 1 and 2 left and right respectively. But
Source 2 is still used to fill gaps.
I am tempted to re-do "Hey Baby" since some
phasing occurs at the very beginning. This occurs a few times
throughout the merge, though very briefly. Also source 5 begins to
stutter violently during "Hey Baby" followed by a gap then
resumes and continues to stutter well into "AATW". I chose
to cover it up with source 2 and by keeping source 5 lower in the mix
until the 'stutter-part' was over.
Source 2 is the most complete source and fills gaps
from the original tapes left and right so you'll hear some panning
going on a few times.
My guess is Jimi played in Eb that evening tuning down
only 1/2 step. His voice sounds like at IOW. When I tried E tuning
suddenly Jimi sounded like 1967. D was even worse. since I wasn't
there I'm not 100% sure.

This is a sort of companion to the Blues Project tracks. These tracks
were given by Alan Douglas on DAT to a certain radio station for a
special on Jimi. Tracks 1-7 are from that DAT master. The
Hendrix-Young Jam (probably 2nd gen) is not from the KPFA tapes but
it's been added here to make up the playing time. NB: These _have
not_ been taken from any bootleg release!

A great look into studio workings as quite a bit of it
is unedited so you get to hear the talk, tune-ups, etc.
On CD 1, there may be quite a few "Power Of
Soul" but outside the Band Of Gypsys shows, this song was never
again played live. "Valleys" never once was. "Heaven
Has No Sorrow" is a great song that never made past this demo
phase, but it's a wonderful song indeed! If that's not enough, CD 1
ends with an 18 minute Stepping Stone!!
CD 2 features takes of "Izabella",
"Machine Gun" and the semi common "Lord I Sing The Blues.."
What really makes all of this 2 CDR set extra special
is the sound quality which is perfect!! It's first generation off the
master reels! Throw away your hissy bootleg because this is a lot better!

Total Time 70:52
The Cherokee Mist/In from the Storm medley is 06:29 in
length, a little more or less depending on mastering speed. there is
then a false start for Valleys, only about 00:03. The complete
version of Valleys that's on some versions times to about 04:22
additional. I don't think I've ever heard the false start followed by
the complete take, leading me to think it's not really a medley with
the first part, but has been added on by some bootleggers. Ben
Franklin does give this separate timing (04:16) for Valleys, which
makes it pretty clear that the 06:34 is for the first two songs only
but it might be a little misleading to some people, making them think
the 06:34 is for all 3 songs. maybe the 3rd edition (dont hold
your breath!!) should add a few words to explain :-)

Blues Outtakes - 2CDr
Disc 1: 1. Electric Church / Red House
(7) 1:44 / 5:30 ( The familiar composite we've all heard, with the
longer "Electric Church" portion at the start than the
:Blues release had.) - 2. Born Under A Bad Sign ( ) 8:17 ( More
complete version than the official 7:36 version which has an edit at
5:10. This version omits the 0:11 bass solo at start, but restores
the 0:38 edit at the 4:59 point, and continues 0:13 longer to the
end.) - 3. Once I Had A Woman ( ) 8:16 ( Also used on the "Old
Time" set, this continues to the end while the :Blues version
fades at 7:47.) - 4. Easy Blues (2) 4:35 (Same incomplete edit as
used on 9ttu, but continues a few seconds longer at the end.) - 5.
Mannish Boy ( ) 5:51( Recall this is a composite, as most of the
:Blues tracks are. This version is somewhat more complete than the
:Blues version, which runs 5:18. This one misses the 0:05 intro, but
restores two edits in official version: 0:09 at 2:50, and 0:26 at
5:02.) - 6. Villanova Junction (17) Jam 27:35 (The longest available
version of this jam.) - 7. Mother, Mother (2) 7:55 (The mix with horn
solo and some vocals removed. )

longer than the official 6:24 version. The first 1.5 sec of the
official version is missing, but this continues til the end. ) - 2.
Voodoo Chile Blues ( ) 9:15 ( Longer than the 8:47 :Blues composite,
this continues until the end without fadeout.) - 3. Strato Strut (1)
1:48 (The familiar incomplete version.) - 4. Country Blues (2) /
Astro Man ( ) 8:38 ( A little more complete at the end than the other
versions of mix (2) that have been around, this goes into the first
few seconds of Astro Man before ending. Other mixes have included the
complete Astro Man but not this mix.) - 5. Things I Used To Do ( )
5:43 ( Longer version of the edited version on "Lifelines",
but still incomplete. ) - 6. Bleeding Heart (1) 3:25 ( Same as on

Notes:
- It has not been 100% verified that the Hansson &
Karlsson jam portion included in this set is the "real
deal", and that these recordings do in fact feature Jimi
Hendrix. The complete recording of the Hansson & Karlsson jam
from Club Filips, Stockholm 07.09.67 allegedly runs for 4 hr 15 min
but remain unreleased / uncirculated. The recordings featured in this
set are just 12 brief samples, and clock in at a total of a little
over 16 min's. There also exists a 22:10 sample tape from this jam,
but that is in fact the same 16 min tape that's included here, merely
differently indexed (just 11 tracks) and with the addition of an
extra 6:02 track pieced together from the "original"
samples as track 12.
Personnel on the Hansson & Karlsson Jam is believed to be: Bo Hansson: Organ / Janne Karlsson: drums / Georges Clemons: drums / Jimi Hendrix: bass / and George Wadenius (from Blood, Sweat & Tears).
- Quote from Jimpress 68, p.43 regarding this sample tape: "The guitar playing can best be described as free form messing about for much of this though it sounds like Hendrix in places, though a bit too 'modern' and 'processed'. The recording doesn't help with heavy hall ambience. The instrumentation consists of guitar, keyboards and drums/percussion. This is especially suspect as Jimi is alleged to play bass during this jam !"
- Uncertainty has for a long time surrounded both the exact date for the Scene Club recordings and the personnel featured on them. The date has now been confirmed as 18.03.68, and personnel is believed to be Jimi Hendrix (guitar / vocals), Jim Morrison (vocals) and Lester Chambers (harp) plus two unknown guitarists, unknown bass and unknown drums. Some of these may or may not have been members of The McCoys or The Young Rascals, but neither Johnny Winter nor Rick Derringer were among them.
- Some sources erroneously list the date for the Scene Club jam as 06.03.68 or 07.03.68.
- Roy Buchanan was formerly believed to have participated in the 07.04.68 jam, but this is wrong. The featured guitarist is most likely Dave Woods, with Ed "Bugs" Gregory on bass, and possibly Glenway McTeer on drums.
- Some sources list the date for the jam with B.B.King as 09.04.68.
- This set features all circulating live jam recordings of Jimi Hendrix 1966-70 with the exception of the jam at Newport '69 Pop Festival, San Fernando State College, Devonshire Downs, CA 22.06.69, available on ATM 032-034 "Earth vs. Space - The Newport Legacy".

(-4%) *
[* This is an incomplete source with numerous cuts and
the first two songs missing entirely. Many of the cuts are noisy,
with a screech as the tape slows to a stop and then speeds up again
upon re-start. These are left intact. There are one or two gaps that
are different, essentially just a clean gap with material missing.
These are also left as is. There were some digital clicks and buzzes
present on the original transfer, and these were removed as
completely as possible, although one or two buzzes couldn't be
removed entirely. The source also ran about 4% fast, so it was
pitch-adjusted to be approximately correct. The recording itself is
straight mono. The two channels were identical except for a slight
gain difference, which has beeen equalized. Nothing else has been
done to the tape; Noise level and EQ are unchanged.]

Studio series cover the time period May 1967 through to early 1968.
Hendrix had blazed a trail across Europe performing at many concerts
where his brand of musicianship, allied to a strong sense of
showmanship drew acclaim and respect in equally large amounts. More
importantly Jimi had played at the Monterey Festival in the summer of
1967 where he was an unqualified success, stealing the show from
bigger and more established performers.
During this period The Experience recorded two
exceptional albums in Are You Experienced and Axis Bold As Love. In
early 1968 he would begin work on the monumental double album that
would become Electric Ladyland. This album would be the final album
from the original Experience but at this point in time Hendrix had
also collaborated with many other musicians and Jack Cassidy of
Jefferson Airplane, Dave Mason and Steve Winwood of Traffic and Al
Kooper were just some of the people who guested on this landmark album.

The recordings featured on Volume 2 of the In The
Studio series cover the time period April 1969 through to July 1970
less than two months before Jimi's death in September of the same
year. During this period The Jimi Hendrix Experience had split at the
end of one last tour following the final concert in Denver. Jimi
retained Mitch Mitchell but called on former army buddy Billy Cox to
play bass. These two musicians along, with guitarist Larry Lee and
percussionists Jerry Velez and Juma Sultan played the legendary
Woodstock festival in August 1969. Shortly after that Jimi began a
new project called The Band Of Gypsys. This band featured Jimi
alongside Billy Cox and drummer Buddy Miles. The band made its live
debut in December 1969 at the Fillmore East, which resulted in a live
self-titled album. The band however would last barely a handful of
dates before falling apart in front of a large audience mid gig at
Madison Square Garden. As was Jimi's practice however The Band Of
Gypsys recorded much material including a track featured on this
album Machine Gun. Machine Gun had been a highlight of the live Band
Of Gypsys' show and the studio version is no less of a highlight here
with its extended solo and "Machine Gun" like drumming from
Buddy Miles.
Much of the material featured on this album was recorded in New York's Record Plant or Hit Factory although with his eye on the studio clock and the old adage of "time is money" Jimi began work on his own recording studio where he would not be bound by the constraints of either. Electric Lady Studios opened with much fanfare in August 1970. In fact the party continued until Jimi had to leave America to play what would be his final British concert date at the Isle Of Wight Festival.
One of the key tracks featured on Volume 2 of the In The Studio series is possibly one of the earliest recordings by The Band Of Gypsys. Machine Gun was recorded less than two weeks after Jimi's appearance at the Woodstock Festival. This recording also features Juma Sultan who had played with Hendrix at Woodstock.
Valleys Of Neptune - 23rd September 1969 at the Record Plant which was recorded while The Band Of Gypsys were rehearsing and putting material together. This take is without any noticeable bass.
Lover Man - Recorded 6th September 1969. This is another recording to feature the Band of Gypsys. This version was recorded at the Hit Factory and was an instrumental take with Jimi's intro.
Machine Gun - 29th August 1969 Hit Factory. Another Band Of Gypsys' recording. This is the first take of one of the most famous Jimi Hendrix songs which was seen as a comment on the situation taking place in Vietnam.
Trying To Be (Stepping Stone)/Earth Blues - 15th September 1969 at the Record Plant. Once again another recording with the Band of Gypsys This take also includes Juma Sultan on percussion. The end of this recording segues into Earth Blues.
Stepping Stone - The basic track was laid down 3rd -7th January 1970 at the Record Plant and after much overdubbing and mixing was completed 15th February although Jimi was not satisfied and further work was undertaken right up to August 20th. This version has wah wah guitar effect coming through one speaker as opposed to the panning effect.
Untitled Guitar Improvisation - Hendrix recorded many pieces like this improvisation perhaps for work on at a later date perhaps merely for the joy of playing. The exact date of this improvisation is unknown although it is thought to have been recorded in 1970 at the Electric Lady studios, which places it sometime in late summer.
Keep On Grooving (Midnight Lightning) - 17th April 1969 at the Record Plant this is a rough play through with Paul Caruso adding harmonica and Devon Wilson, Jimi's sometime girlfriend, on backing vocals. The relaxed nature of this recording would suggest that it was never considered as a final take.
Come Down Hard On Me Baby - Recorded at Electric Lady Studios in July 1970 with Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox and subsequently remixed by Alan Douglas after Hendrix's death.
Drifters Escape - Recorded at Electric Lady Studios on 17th June 1970 with overdubbing done 22nd August with Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox. This version has only one lead guitar part rather than the layered effect Jimi sometimes favoured in the recording studio.
Belly Button Window - Recorded on 23rd July 1970 at Electric Ladyland Studio with Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell, this is an unused alternate instrumental version of the song that would eventually form part of the first posthumous Hendrix release, The Cry Of Love.
Bolero - Recorded 1st July 1970 with Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell and Juma Sultan at Electric Lady Studios. This track was also known as Here Comes The Sun.

All the tracks contained in this volume of the In The
Studio series were recorded at the new Electric Lady studio complex
Hendrix had built in New York. Part of the money used to finance the
building of the studio had been advanced by Warners on condition that
the guitarist would appear in a film entitled Rainbow Bridge which
was the brainchild of Jimi's manager Mike Jeffery. This he agreed to
do and Warners no doubt expected to receive a soundtrack album
featuring Jimi's performance captured on film in Hawaii (to date no
official release of the two sets Jimi that the band played has
appeared).The Electric Lady studios were intended as a solid business
proposition, as, although the studios would hired out for other
recording sessions, it would in theory cut down on the considerable
expenses Jimi was chalking up at his favourite New York studio, The
Record Plant. It was also thought that in his own studio there would
be no time constraints and this would ultimately make Jimi more
relaxed and creative. Whilst still not officially opened for business
Jimi was regularly using the studio as soon as the equipment was
installed, thus much of the studio material recorded in the final
months of his life comes from sessions recorded there.
Of the many sessions that took place at Electric Lady in the summer of 1970 some of the tracks featured here such as Belly Button Window, Freedom, Angel and Drifting would eventually become key tracks on The Cry Of Love , instantly familiar to the many people who own the album. The versions presented here are of course works in progress, but the evolution of the songs (particularly Angel) can be heard in detail over the course of the three versions featured in this volume.
The session that took place on the 26th of June is interesting as Valleys Of Neptune was certainly a song Jimi wanted to include on the First Rays Of The New Rising Sun. The work that took place on this night in common with the night before, featured just Mitch Mitchell on drums and Jimi on guitar and later overdubbing bass. Subsequently however the song did not appear on any of the three albums (The Cry of Love, Voodoo Soup and The First Rays Of The New Rising Sun) that purported to represent the album Jimi was working on at the time of his death.
During the time that these sessions were recorded Jimi, Mitch and Billy were also performing regularly and while the studio didn't receive an official opening until the 26 August, Electric Lady almost became a second home for Jimi and his creative needs with sessions usually lasting well into the night. As befits the original idea of a double album, a great deal of material was recorded and some of it would undoubtedly have been included in the final running order of the First Rays Of The New Rising Sun although it is safe to assume that some of it would simply have been discarded or reworked later for other projects. We will of course never know for sure. What is fascinating is the glimpse we do get of Jimi's recording methods on this album of sessions which in addition to the music also includes chat between and during the various takes between Jimi and the engineers and other musicians.

The music contained on this, the fourth volume of the
In The Studio series comes from the period 7th November 1969 through
to May 1970. During this period Jimi became involved in what would
turn out to be the short-lived Band Of Gypsies project that featured
drummer Buddy Miles and bassist Billy Cox. Billy had been playing
with Jimi since the break up of the original Experience following a
concert in Denver in June 1969. Many people have since claimed that
The Band Of Gypsies were never meant to be a long term project but
merely an opportunity to fulfil a contractual obligation. Whatever
the reason halfway through an appearance at Madison Square garden in
early 1970 the Band Of Gypsies broke up rather spectacularly and Jimi
once again began working with Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell.
Some of the key tracks recorded during this period would go on to appear in different forms on albums released following Jimi's death in September 1970 such as Rainbow Bridge, The Cry Of Love and Loose Ends.
Lover Man - Recorded on the15th May 1970 this recording features Billy Cox on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums. The engineer was Eddie Kramer assisted by Tom Flye.
Message To Love - Recorded on the 19th December 1969. The band was Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums The engineer was Bob Cotto and the 2nd engineer R. Beekman. This song was originally entitled Message To The Universe.
Izabella (reel 4 take 2) - Recorded on the 7th November 1969 and engineered by Jack Adams and Dave Ragno. With no bass player, Hendrix and Buddy Miles ran through many takes of this track which ended with technical problems. A young Tony Bongiovi was ultimately sent for to sort out the problems
Bleeding Heart (blues in C sharp) - This alternate mix comes from the session that too place on 24th March 1970. The band, which was the one to remain in place until Jimi's death in September of 1970, consisted of Billy Cox on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums. The engineer was Jack Adams and the 2nd Engineer Dave Ragno. Only four versions of this song were ever recorded with the 4th take appearing on the Rainbow Bridge album. Originally recorded with an unknown drummer and no bassist, Billy Cox later joined the session but Mitch Mitchell's drums were recorded later at Electric Lady studios.
Izabella (take 1) - Another take from the session listed above and featuring the same line up which lends the song a different feel from the version recorded with the Band Of Gypsies some four months previously.
Blue Suede Shoes - This is the most complete version of the old Carl Perkins song. Another, shorter version of this song would eventually surface on the Loose Ends album. This version was recorded during the final days of the Band Of Gypsies on the 23rd January 1970 under the stewardship of engineer Bob Hughes and 2nd engineer Dave Ragno. The band here is Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on Drums
Power of Soul (takes 1 - 16) - This work I progress was recorded on the 21st November 1969. The Band Of Gypsies were deep into recordings and rehearsals for what would turn out to be their only major appearance at the Fillmore East at the end of the year Billy Cox. The engineer was Tony Bongiovi assisted by Tom Erdelyi. The song was originally called Paper Airplanes and has appeared listed on some bootlegs under this title. Interestingly, both Tommy Erdelyi and Tony Bongiovi would work together in the 70s when Tony produced the Ramones with Tommy, now known as Tommy Ramone, the Ramones drummer.

The only place Jimi seemed to be able to relax was in
the recording studio and his studio of choice certainly in New York
was The Record Plant. It was at this particular studio that Jimi
jammed with many artists including Stephen Stills, John McLaughlin
and many others. McLaughlin's Devotion album was also recorded at The
Record Plant by producer Alan Douglas a character destined to feature
prominently in the guitarist's posthumous musical legacy.
The sessions featured on this particular volume of the In The Studio series are drawn from recordings made at The Record Plant. It was here that Jimi would spend not merely hours but sometimes days just playing and finding out just what the recording studio offered, and it could be said that Jimi regarded the studio as somewhat of a sound laboratory. The recordings contained in this volume cover the period between June 1968 when Jimi was recording material that would eventually be heard on the double album Electric Ladyland and April 1970 which was post Band Of Gypsys. Throughout the performances you can hear a musician who is relaxed and enjoying the creation of music for the sake of it although, the burgeoning cost of studio time was certainly one of the considerations when Hendrix decided he wanted a studio of his own. No doubt manager Mike Jeffrey would have drawn attention pointed out the fiscal need for his own studio and also a place where he could record and play day and night of he so desired.
Starting with the opening track Bleeding Heart. This Elmore James song would eventually see a release almost two years after Jimi's death on the War Heroes album although certainly recorded at around the same time that material was being recorded for his next studio album a popular live song for the Experience who performed it live at The Albert Hall in 1969. This take was recorded on the 24th of March 1970 by Hendrix, supported by Cox, Mitchell and Juma Sultan on percussion, this version is a different mix from the master with the wah wah and vocals mixed low at the start and at the end. There is a small drum break and some snippets of Jimi just messing around on guitar
The next three tracks on this disc are versions of Rainy Day Dream Away and Rainy Day Dream Away/Still Raining Still Dreaming. All three come from an earlier session recorded on the 10th of June 1968 and eventually appeared on the Electric Ladyland album. Here we have the original run through with a false start and then the practice session. On the original Electric Ladyland album both the tracks Rainy Day Dream Away and Still Raining Still Dreaming were separate tracks but here the two tunes run together to make an extended version. A dry alternate mix of Rainy Day Dream Away/Still Raining Still Dreaming recorded 10th June 68 featuring Jimi on guitar, Mike Finnegan on organ, Buddy Miles on drums, Freddie Smith on sax and Larry Faucette on percussion.
Stephen Stills and Hendrix crossed paths on a regular basis and Stills has subsequently expressed his love for both the man and his music. There was also the story that Jimi wanted Stephen Stills to play bass in his band following his return from Germany in the autumn of 1970. Although unfortunately it wasn't to be, this jam session is a small glimpse into what they could have achieved together. Recorded around mid May 1969 we have takes 4 and 5 of Send My Love To Linda/ Live And Let Live Here Jimi is joined by Stills and Dallas Taylor who had both played on the soon to be massively popular debut from Crosby Stills and Nash. Both acts would subsequently make history when they appeared at the legendary Woodstock festival some three months later
The final track featured of this volume finds Jimi going back to his blues roots and covering Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley. Both artists held a massive influence over rock music in the late sixties and early seventies and Jimi Hendrix was equipped better than most to put a new spin on an old standard. Mannish Boy/ I m A Man was recorded on the 22nd April 1970 with Billy Cox on bass and Devon Wilson and unknown guests on percussion and drums. This is a peculiar session as three sections of the tape have been found but the whole session is still incomplete, this has been deduced by some composites that have been discovered that include parts that are missing from the original tapes.
This latest volume of the In The Studio series finds Jimi relaxed and in good form which is slightly surprising as during this period he was in high demand and the pressure on him, both in terms of what the public wanted but also his own personal creative aspirations, must have been a difficult road to walk.

The sessions featured on Volume 6 of the In The Studio
series are drawn from recordings made at The Record Plant in New York
and were made between April 1968 when Jimi was recording material
that would eventually be heard on the double album Electric Ladyland
and May 1969 which was around the time of the break up of the
original Experience and prior to Jimi's landmark appearance at the
legendary Woodstock Festival in August 1969 Throughout the
performances here you can hear a musician who is relaxed and enjoying
the creation of music for the sheer sake of it.
The opening track on this album comes from the sessions that spawned the Electric Ladyland album although Cherokee Mist had first surfaced during sessions for the previous album Axis Bold As Love. Recorded on 2nd May 1968 with Jimi playing the Sitar as well as guitar and featuring Mitch Mitchell on drums. This version is a different take and almost a minute longer than the version contained on the box set.
The next track entitled Jam H290 comes from the same session that produced Send My Love to Linda/Live And Let Live which features on Volume V of the In The Studio series. This rare jam was recorded in mid May 1969 with Stephen Stills on bass and Dallas Taylor on Drums.
Another song from the Electric Ladyland sessions was Voodoo Chile. The official version released on Electric Ladyland in 1968 ran to just over fifteen minutes. Here is a version in which, although more than double the length of the original, do the musicians become complacent or the energy dips The session started in the evening of 2nd May 1968 and features Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady on bass Mitch Mitchell on drums and Traffic's Steve Winwood on keyboards
The following two tracks have been drawn from sessions that have received scant appreciation from musicologists and Hendrix experts alike which is surprising when you consider the amount of recordings Jimi Hendrix made and how well these sessions were usually documented.
The first of these is Ships Passing In The Night. This was recorded on the 14th April 1969 Jimi with unknown musicians although the track is often accredited to the Band of Gypsys augmented by an a trumpeter and a pianist. The version featured here is an alternate mix. Whilst many believe this to be a Band of Gypsys number by this time the band had split following a disastrous performance at Madison Square Garden and the drummer is possibly Mitch Mitchell rather than Buddy Miles although this cannot be confirmed.
The final track featured in this volume of the In The Studio series is Calling all Devil's Children Jam Almost no information concerning this track exists save for the brief that Jimi Hendrix plays bass on this track and that it was more than probably recorded at The Record Plant at some point in 1968, possibly the same time as Look Over Yonder. As Noel Redding receives a co-credit it would seem natural to assume that he also took part in the recording although this cannot be confirmed.

Between March 1969 and June 1970 Jimi Hendrix's life
was frenetic on every level. During this period the original line up
of The Experience split up following a concert in Denver in June
1969, a new band (Band Of Gypsys) was formed and disbanded and split
the same band all within a few months (Band Of Gypsys). He was
involved in a film (Rainbow Bridge) building his own studio (Electric
Lady Studios), and as if all that wasn't enough, was trying to record
a new studio album. The recordings featured on this album are all
drawn from one of the busiest and perhaps most stressful periods of
Hendrix's life.
Jam including: Stepping Stone, Sending My Love To Linda, Freedom, Here Comes The Sun, Cherokee Mist, Call All The Devil's Children - This recording was made at Jimi's apartment at West 12th Street in Greenwich Village on 1st February 1970. In truth home recording sessions like this were common place with Jimi working out alternative arrangements and ideas for new songs. This session is an acoustic one, although both Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox would drop in to add their contributions to the recordings. On this occasion it is Mitch Mitchell who underpins Jimi's acoustic jamming and can be heard clapping along and providing percussion throughout. The jam is a light-hearted affair with Jimi and Mitch singing a snatch of Be Bop A Lula at the start of the tape when they are setting up the echo for Mitch's clapping and percussive effects.
Closer To The Truth (Room Full Of Mirrors recital) - This is another home recording although this time recorded at his British base in Brook Street, London on 10th March 1969. Earlier in the day Jimi had given an interview to the magazine International Times. The recording is a basic overdubbed recording hence Jimi's recital is panned over to the right hand side of the stereo divide. Whilst some of the words seem scripted, parts are obviously off the cuff bringing an air of spontaneity. The musical backing also drops out and comes back in again around the twelve minute mark giving the whole recording an experimental sound collage feel.
Jam Back At the House - Recorded at Electric Lady studios on the 16th of June 1970. This was Jimi's first opportunity to record at his own studio Electric Lady studios. During a 3-day session, Hendrix laid down tracks (including this song) which had originally be rehearsed in the weeks leading up to the Woodstock performance in August 1969. Other musicians that had dropped by in the previous days were Traffic's Chris Wood and Steve Winwood although they don't appear on this session alongside Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox.
Midnight, Valleys Of Neptune Arising - Recorded at Olmstead studios New York on the 3rd of April 1969 This session features the song Midnight which had started life in Olympic Studios on the 14th of February under the title Midnight Lightning. The shortened version entitled just Midnight would eventually appear on the South Saturn Delta album.
The last two recordings on this album are short takes of Pride Of Man (Bolero) with the second take being almost one minute longer than this first. Having moved back to New York from Woodstock Jimi was recording at the Record Plant with the Gypsy Sons and Rainbows band. Feeling the band was played out despite only two gigs (Woodstock on the 18th of August and a benefit gig in Harlem on the 5th of September) he disbanded the group following a series of sessions including the one that produced this track recorded on the 24th September 1969. A projected tour was also cancelled as Jimi felt unable physically and mentally to perform. Shortly after, however, Jimi would start to play with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles in what would become the Band Of Gypsys.
Pride of Man (Bolero) - Recorded 24th September 1969. Second slightly longer version of the above song recorded at the same session featuring Juma Sultan on percussion who featured on both takes alongside Jimi and Billy Cox.
Despite being drawn from the busiest period of Jimi's life bearing in mind that Jimi was also beginning to have doubts concerning his managerial contract with Mike Jeffery, the recordings here prove that artistically at least Jimi was still able to create music. In fact it is probably is desire and his ability to do this that kept Jimi on a (somewhat) even keel during this turbulent period of his life.

The sessions featured in this volume date from between
January 1968 and the sessions for what would turn out to be Electric
Ladyland, the groundbreaking double album released in October 68
through to some of the last recordings Jimi would make in the summer
of 1970 in his own Electric Lady studios.
Electric Church. - Jimi spent much of October 1968 in Los Angeles in the midst of a hectic touring schedule, recording or producing the Eire Apparent album and invariably playing one-off gigs. This song was recorded at TTG Hollywood studios 29th October 1968 with Buddy Miles & Lee Michaels on keyboards alongside Jimi, Noel and Mitch. The track is basically a jam although the Red House dies put in an appearance.
Hear My Freedom - Recorded at TTG studios Hollywood 21st October 1968 with Buddy Miles & Lee Michaels on keyboards. Jimi had hooked up with Lee Michaels earlier in the month when he dropped in to catch a Michaels' performance at the Whiskey A Go Go. This track was cut during a session which was also taken up with twenty seven versions of another song, Call All The Devil's Children
Honey Bed - Recorded at the Record Plant on 23rd December 1969 with Billy Cox & Buddy Miles for possible inclusion on the proposed Band Of Gypsys studio album which ultimately failed to materialise. The song was a full attempt at recording and features elements of another song, Bleeding Heart.
Room Full Of Mirrors Recorded at Olympic studios 26th February 1969. This is an early version of the song featuring Mitch Mitchell & Noel Redding. Further attempts were made to nail this track in April and November of the same year. The released version was recorded in Nov 69 with the Band of Gypsies and the Ghetto Fighters line-ups at the Record Plant.
All Along The Watchtower - Recorded at Olympic studios on 21 January 1968, this song would go on to be a huge worldwide hit and even Bob Dylan approved of the cover of one of his most successful songs. This is a basic early mix by Chas Chandler and includes contributions from Rolling Stone Brian Jones on percussion. Jimi plays bass and guitar with Mitch Mitchell on drums and Dave Mason of Traffic playing twelve string acoustic.
Ezy Rider - This is an alternative mix of a song that would eventually find release on Jimi's first posthumous release, The Cry Of Love, with this recording dating from December the 18th 1969. This particular version however features the Band Of Gypsys line up of Jimi alongside Billy Cox and Buddy Miles. Recorded at The Record Plant this take features an alternative mix with different lyrics and extra guitar although extra guitar overdubs and vocals were recorded at Electric Lady studios during the summer of 1970
Dolly Dagger - Another alternate mix. The basic track was recorded on the 1st of July 1970 at Electric Lady studios. The track was then overdubbed in mid July and again in mid August in what was possibly one of Jimi's last studio sessions before he died in September. The session featured Jimi Mitch and Billy with the Ghetto Fighters (Albert & Arthur Allen) on backing vocals. Juma Sultan also features on percussion.
South Saturn Delta - Recorded Olympic Studios January 1968 during the Axis Bold As Love sessions. The horns were added by Larry Fallon at the Record Plant in June 1969
Shame Shame Shame - Recorded 16th February 1969 at Olympic studios where a number of other songs were recorded including a prototype version of Ezy Ryder which was at the time entitled Slow. Overdubs were possibly added by Mitch and Noel in the 80s
Gypsy Blood (Crying Blue Rain) - Recorded on the 16th of February 1969 at Olympic studios with Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding making this one of the last sessions to feature the original line up of The Experience. The session also featured an unknown percussionist although it may well have been Rocky Dijon who had guested with the band at the Royal Albert Hall the previous month. This song was recorded during the same session that Shame Shame Shame and Sunshine Of Your Love were recorded.
Sunshine Of Your Love - A long-time favourite of Jimi's who had also been a great admirer of Cream. Jimi decided to dedicate a spontaneous rendition of this song to Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton on a live version of the Lulu television show in January following Cream's disbanding the previous November. Perhaps it was this version of the song that made him decide to tape his own studio version of the song recording this version at Olympic Studios on the 16th February 1969.
This album once again proves that the recording studio really was the place where Jimi felt at ease and capable of creating music. The majority of the music featured here will be new to some more recent fans of the music of Jimi Hendrix but there is plenty here for the long time fan and the newcomer to savour and appreciate.

It has often been said that Jimi Hendrix used to sleep with his guitar and although it is well known that he often enjoyed the company of more nubile bedfellows, it is fair to say that Hendrix was one of the most prolific artists of his generation. Many home recordings have come to light in the thirty five-plus years since his death in September 1970. Most of the recordings featured in this volume come from early 1968 when Jimi was in the process of working on the follow up to Axis Bold As Love. The third album, which was released in October 1968, was the massively successful Electric Ladyland.
The double album was packed with Jimi's best material at the time and almost half the tracks included in this volume of In The Studio would go on to be more fully realised on what is now considered one of the best rock records of the era and an album that is often cited as being Hendrix's best work.
Whilst in New York Jimi would sometimes stay at the Drake hotel and of course would occasionally write material while staying there. Generally however he used his own apartment and the majority of the material featured here comes from recordings made at that location.
The first track here is an early run through of Angel. Despite being written in late 1967 and demoed here at the beginning of the following year in Jimi's New York apartment the song would not form part of the Electric Ladyland line up. Instead it would feature on Jimi's posthumous album The Cry Of Love. This version is a straight run through on electric guitar and Jimi's solo vocal. The performance here finds the song already arranged and whilst missing the multi tracking that it would obviously benefit from in the studio the song is complete and is considered one of his best although quite why it was not considered for inclusion on Electric Ladyland is not clear.
The next track, 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) eventually found its way on to the Electric Ladyland album. This is the first of two versions featured here and another song originally recorded as a demo at the Drake Hotel in New York. This take was possibly recorded in the days before the second version (recorded on the 1st of February 1968) and while clocking in at around five minutes shorter than the version on Electric Ladyland the arrangements are all in place. The start of the songs finds Hendrix strumming the chords on an un-amplified electric guitar although as the song progresses the guitar switches to an amplified guitar although still being played softly.
Astro Man/Valleys Of Neptune were recorded at Jimi's apartment in late August and early September 69 although neither song would be released in Jimi's lifetime. Astro Man would be recorded in spring of 1970 and eventually see the light on the posthumous The Cry Of Love album released in early 1971. The version Valleys Of Neptune here is just a short instrumental snippet although a more fully realised version would be recorded in May 1970. However even then Jimi was to admit at the end of that particular recording that the song wasn't finished. This version then would appear to be the first attempt at the basic structure of the song.
Gypsy Eyes was another song that would go on to be included in the running order of Electric Ladyland. This volume features three versions of the song and four if you count a medley of it alongside Cherokee Mist. The versions collected here are the very rough home demos of the song although in the first version it is merely an instrumental take in order no doubt to get down the basic structure of the song.
Cherokee Mist is another previously unreleased Jimi Hendrix song although there is a version included in the Jimi Hendrix box which was captured at the Electric Lady studios in 1970 in between takes for Astro Man. The version featured here is the rough sketch of the song which is more of a rhythmic run through than the more finished song that was recorded more than two years later. It is from some of these rough sketches that Hendrix used to build other complete songs. Cherokee Mist/Gypsy Eyes would be a case in point building on the previous version this version recorded in April is a more complete version complete with lyrics that would form part of the song Voodoo Chile. The song segues into Gypsy Eyes now complete with rough vocal lines towards the end of the song.
Power Of Soul was included in rehearsals for the Band Of Gypsys only full concert appearances at the Fillmore East over the New Year 1969-70 suggesting the song must have been written and demoed in late 1969. The song is very much in the style of the material the Band Of Gypsys would perform live and may have been considered a contender for a hoped for but never realised Band Of Gypsys studio album. Whilst an instrumental version this version musically has all the elements and arrangement in place of the familiar live version performed by the Band Of Gypsys.
The next two tracks are versions of the song Long Hot Summer. The song which formed a part of the Electric Ladyland album is featured here played on an acoustic twelve string with the song literally being written while Jimi plays it and works out the guitar parts and sings the occasional lyric. The second version stops abruptly after just under two minutes.
Hear My Train A Comin' was a song that Hendrix returned to time and again. He can be seen in the Experience movie performing the song on an acoustic guitar. The Experience also worked up an extended version of the song in Olympic Studios in early 1969. The two versions featured here date from April 1968 and are but short snippets of the song with both versions reaching just over one minute in length. The lyrics in the second version are the ones that would eventually feature on the song Voodoo Chile.
The next two tracks are two further versions of Gypsy Eyes and whilst the versions are similar Jimi was obviously working on something and was not happy to rest until he achieved what he heard in his head with the second version being a refinement of the riff that would feature in the finished song
South Saturn Delta was another song written and recorded in early 68 although a more polished version does exist with a full band and brass arrangement, this try out is the basic song structure.
Three Little Bears was considered a throw-away track although surfacing on many bootlegs as part of various jams and also the B side of the Christmas single Little Drummer Boy.
The second version of 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) is half the length of the first version featured on this volume. Like the earlier version this was taped at the Drake Hotel in early 1968.This version suffers a false start before beginning again with more focus, featuring just Hendrix and his electric guitar.
The final piece of music featured in this volume is an Acoustic Jam taped by Jimi at his apartment in Greenwich Village on 1st February 1970. The jam features Jimi on an acoustic guitar and he is accompanied by Mitch Mitchell who is adding percussion by what seems to be slapping his thighs in accompaniment to Jimi's acoustic playing. The tape cuts out abruptly as Jimi stops playing for whatever reason.
Whilst Jimi would spend hours in the recording studio jamming and recording or refining ideas it would seem that he was just as active as a home taper and many of his best material started off from basic home recordings some of which are featured here. What they do show is that Jimi Hendrix was an extremely prolific artist and also an artist one capable of turning even the most basic idea or riff into something rather special.

As far as Jimi Hendrix was concerned England was his oyster in 1967. Transplanted from New York where he had been playing club dates to make ends meet in late 1966 Jimi was discovered by Chas Chandler and brought over to the UK in order to develop his career. What many probably didn't realise (including Hendrix himself) was that Jimi's career would become one of the most influential careers of almost anyone in the rock business. Starting with the single Hey Joe in the previous year, 1967 looked like being the year that Jimi Hendrix became a huge star the world over. Hard as it is to believe these days but Jimi Hendrix would record a string of singles and two massively selling studio albums in 1967 as well as playing countless concerts throughout the year including his career-altering appearance at the Monterey Festival.
The music featured on this album consists of previously unreleased and in some cases unheard of alternate takes of some of Jimi's music recorded and released in England during 1967
Hey Joe was of course the debut single recorded at De Lane Lea studios in late 66 although, it would appear on the American version of Jimi's debut album Are You Experienced in 1967. This version is obviously a vocal tracking take with Jimi ad-libbing throughout and asking early on for more of his voice to be put into his headphones and the band lowered. A different take from the single musically the intro being a little hesitant and the backing vocals by the Breakaways well to the fore on this mix.
Purple Haze was another hit single and the follow up to Hey Joe. Released early in 1967 the version we have here is an alternate take with Jimi laying down the vocals and the musical backing dropping in and out isolating his vocals which are again ad-libbed at times and somewhat more forceful during this session. Towards the end of the song you can hear a vocal overdub of Jimi repeating the phrase Purple Haze which was dropped from the eventual single release.
Red House was a popular blues song from the Are You Experienced album. This extended and relaxed version was more like the lengthy workout the Experience performed during live concerts rather than the three minutes plus version included on Are You Experienced. The song breaks down twice and Jimi can be heard talking back to Chas Chandler in the control room. Despite this breakdown of the song the band still manage to lengthen this particular take to almost twice the length of the version that originally appeared on Are You Experienced.
Crosstown Traffic featured on Electric Ladyland and the B side of the single drawn from that album All Along The Watchtower. This version is a different mix with the vocals more to the fore than on the final released mix. The backing vocals feature Mitch and Noel.
Takin' Care Of Business is decidedly old time and quite at odds with the material Hendrix and the Experience were recording at the time and they certainly do seem to be enjoying themselves. Recorded at Olympic Studios on 4 May 1967 with Mitch Mitchell & Noel Redding. The sax was recorded at the same session and although not confirmed could even be Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. The tuba, however, was added in the 80s for no apparent reason.
I Don't Live Today was recorded at De Lane Lea Studios 20th February 1967. These are three takes, two instrumental and one with two lead vocal tracks with the versions here being longer than the released version on Are You Experienced. With Jimi, Mitch Mitchell & Noel Redding having recorded the basic track it was decided to add more to the finished master and overdubs were done at Olympic studios.
Wind Cries Mary was the third single to come from The Experience. This was again recorded at the studio the band favoured in the early days, De Lane Lea, in January 1967 and featured the now established line up of Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell who were well on the way to rock stardom after just their second single and a series of high profile club performances. This is an instrumental backing track although not the final single version.
One Rainy Wish featured on the bands second album Axis Bold As Love. Recorded by The Experience at Olympic on 3 October 67, this version is an alternate mix from the released album and features wider stereo panning which is particularly noticeable on the guitar overdubs.
La Poupee Qui Fait Non is a cover of a song written by French song writer and performer Michel Polnareff. Jimi and the Experience had supported French Rock star Johnny Halliday as one of their first live jaunts in October 1966. This cover was recorded in March 1967 possibly at De Lane Lea and was presumably earmarked for inclusion on Are You Experienced. This instrumental was as far as it went however and subsequently this recording has never been officially released. As an aside, Ronnie Wood's 60s band The Birds did manage to cover the tune before The Experience.
51st Anniversary came from the sessions that produced the Are You Experienced album. The two versions here feature an almost finished take but different from the released version. The second take is an instrumental version that breaks down a number of times while the band is trying to refine the arrangement.
Can You See Me is another track from Are You Experienced. However the first version featured here is an almost nine minute instrumental version. The original version is a mere two minutes thirty three seconds. The second version is a different take and whilst it sounds like a finished take is again just slightly longer than the released version. The vocal take, however, sounds like a finished take despite Jimi's request to do it one more time.
The final tracks featured in this volume are more out-takes from Are You Experienced sessions. In this instance the first alternate instrumental take of Fire remains true to the original released version. The second take however is an extended instrumental version which suffers a number of breakdowns before the band kick back in and Jimi lets fly with some literally incendiary soloing.
Jimi Hendrix exploded onto the scene in 1967 and through sheer hard work and an amazing run of singles and two breakthrough albums not to mention a serious amount of live work ensured that his career sped off on an elevation that was to prove both exciting and full of highs and lows. This trajectory would ultimately end with Jimi's premature death in September 1970 but 1967 in England was where the journey really began.

This four-disc set has nearly every mix and take
(recorded prior to 5/67) of the tracks that appeared on "Are You
Experienced" (Europe and US) and the frst 3 European singles.
Vinyl, CD, and tape were used as sources. Ben Franklin numbers are
given for each track.
Outtake material from Out of the Studio, Out of the
Studio 2, Olympic Gold, and Are You Experienced The Sessions was
examined, and the best version of each take was used. This means
stereo where available. In the case of Purple Haze (4), there are 2
unique mixes, so both were included.
This set contains the complete AYE monos released on
Track and Reprise.
Although the mixes are the same on both releases, you
may hear differences in the overall sound. Both of these are hard
enough to find in good condition that it seemed better to include
both. Which you prefer will be a matter of opinion.
The vinyl tracks were manually declicked, and then
subjected to a light automated de-crackle. There is still noise in
places, but some types of vinyl noise are nearly impossible to remove
completely. These tracks still sound pretty good, though. Besides
channel averaging on the mono cuts, no other processing was done to
the vinyl tracks.
The chat intro to Red House (Disc 1 tr 9) was not
edited onto tr 10.
This was in case people wanted to easily extract the Track mono cuts to generate a Track mono CD. Also, the Track vinyl was used for Remember (1) and Red House (1), even though both of these have appeared on official CD. This was so that the complete Track release would be included. They sound pretty good despite their checkered past :-)
Timings given are for the songs, not for the time
between CD indexes.
