NOTE:
This is a compilation made for my own enjoyment with a lot of the covers
Jimi played throughout his career. Since its not really bad I thought I'd
present it here. There's scores of people who have all this material and
this compilation might be more interesting to the casual Hendrix fan
who's just started collecting, maybe not.
There are enough Other People's Songs to fill a big multidisc compilation
but this should be a nice appetizer to start collecting Hendrix :-)
Soundquality ranges from good-enough to just-brilliant. Please note that
EXTREME CARE has been taken not to include any officially released
or OOP material. Some selections are available from other dates/gigs but
are officially released. The stuff in this compilation is NOT to be found on
any official or OOP release.
Enjoy,
Johan
