Notes


Mixing & Overdubbing Sessions
Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, New-York
August 14th, 1970

These recordings feature the overdub & mixing of tracks that would eventualy
be included on Jimi's 2 LP project "First Rays of the New Rising Sun". These
were allegedly recorded by an employee who connected a tape deck into the
tannoy system which ran around Electric Lady studios (Jimi's own studios)
and captured Jimi working (presumably without his knowledge or consent !).
What we have here is a fly-on-the-wall insight into one of his last studio
session.

Nightbird Flying (9) Mixing Session 10:40
Dolly Dagger 4:46
Freedom (8) Overdub Session 9:19
Drifting (8) Overdub Session 41:28
