This is the final batch of recordings Jimi Hendrix completed before his death, and probably the last recordings he ever intended public to hear. His conversion from Fender to Gibson resulted in a clearer and sharper sound, which was much jazzier, but - alas - much less improvisational and spontaneous in nature. The songs assembled on this album are some of the finest he created during his all-too-short career. The songs are: Freedom - Drifting - Ezy Rider - Night Bird Flying - My Friend - Straight Ahead - Astro Man - Angel - In from the Storm - Belly Button Window. In the late 1980 s and early 1990 s , as the legal battle between Jimi Hendrix family and his long-time manager Alan Douglas heated up, we experienced the arrival of two revisionist pieces of history: The first, Alan Douglas Voodoo Soup album , which purports to compile Jimi Hendrix s final album in the shape the artist himself would have wanted - and the second, a few years later , titled The First Rays of the New Rising Sun , issued by Hendrix estate , claiming exactly the same thing, sporting some nice sound and plain godawful pseudo-psychedelic cover which undoubtedly made Jimi make a triple salto-mortale in his grave. So far, nobody succeeded in ascertaining with any degree of certainty just exactly what Jimi Hendrix s true intentions were and how his final album would have looked had he himself been involved in its release. What we do know is that this is the last true Jimi Hendrix studio album extant -- from this point on, everything would be a posthumous release.. Finding a still sealed original copy? ? Forget it not even a HOPE This may be the last one you will ever see.

CONDITION:
THE RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them.
b The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
c The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.
d Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
THE COVER
COVER IS STRONG NEAR MINT, STILL SEALED AND COVERED IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP
PLEASE NOTE: THE SHRINK WRAP HAS SEPARATED ALONG ABOUT 10 OF THE OPENING SIDE, BUT THE ALBUM IS STILL VISIBLY SEALED
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
- Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear nothing significant On the scale from 1 to 10 1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe , we assess the severity of ring wear as 1.
- Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on the front side, apparently from aging.
NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER
