1994 saw the release of the Alan Douglas produced "Blues" album. This was seen as one of his better efforts during his time managing Jimi's music. A cassette containing three outtakes was sent to a couple of high profile collectors shortly after. This tape contained Villanova Junction Blues, Hear My train A Comin' and Belly Button Window. For a while this tape was in very limited circulation amongst a few hard core collectors. Later the tracks saw the first light of day on the bootleg "500000 Halos"which was named after line in a poem written by Jimi post Woodstock. However there were more outtakes than those three and more has leaked out over the years (albeit in limited circulation).
Hear My train A Comin' is a composite made by Douglas of two different takes.
