01. Stone Free
The original 1966 recording by the original Jimi Hendrix Experience is
best known as one of Jimi’s signature songs. The Jimi Hendrix
Experience box set (2000) featured a new remake by the original group.
Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell, and Billy Cox recorded this version in May
1969. It is a different recording entirely.
02. Valleys Of Neptune
This track was recorded in September, 1969, and May, 1970. This
full-band version has never been released. An extract of a demo
Hendrix made of this song — featuring just Mitchell on drums and
percussionist Juma Sultan — was part of the short-lived
Reprise/Polydor album Lifelines, which was in the marketplace between
1990 to 1992.
03. Bleeding Heart
This cover of the classic blues song by Elmore James is different
entirely from the versions featured on South Saturn Delta and
(originally) on War Heroes. This recording has never been issued and
features Jimi, Billy Cox, and drummer Rocky Isaac. It was recorded in
April, 1969.
04. Hear My Train A Comin’
This electric, full-band version is different from the famous
12-string acoustic version that was featured in the 1973 documentary
Jimi Hendrix and subsequently on the album Jimi Hendrix: Blues.
05. Mr. Bad Luck
Like “Valleys of Neptuneâ€, a different version of this song was part
of Lifelines in (1990). Jimi would later develop this song as “Look
Over Yonder,†issued as part of South Saturn Delta.
06. Sunshine Of Your Love
A stage favorite for the group during the 1969 period which has never
been released.
07. Lover Man
Jimi recorded many different arrangements of this song, including the
versions on both the Jimi Hendrix Experience box set (2000) and South
Saturn Delta. This is an entirely different recording made in
February, 1969.
08. Ships Passing In The Night
A never-before-released track taken from the last recording session by
the original Jimi Hendrix Experience on 4/14/69.
09. Fire
10. Red House
Both of these songs by the original Jimi Hendrix Experience were
recorded at the same February, 1969, session. They feature the
expanded stage arrangements Jimi had developed and are not alternate
takes of the original 1967 recordings.
11. Lullaby For The Summer
12. Crying Blue Rain
These April, 1969, recordings by the original Jimi Hendrix Experience
have never been released.
