mjzee Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 LOS ANGELES (AP) — A new Jimi Hendrix album is coming March 5. The musician's website says "People, Hell and Angels" contains 12 previously unreleased tracks recorded in 1968 and '69. Rolling Stone revealed the album cover on its website Wednesday. Hendrix recorded the songs apart from the Jimi Hendrix Experience as he considered new, experimental directions for his follow-up to "Electric Ladyland." He plays keyboards, percussion and a second guitar on the album. Source: http://www.kpic.com/news/entertainment/180456061.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John L Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 What is unbelievable is that they keep consistently finding new unreleased studio recordings more than 40 years since the search began. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Even more unbelievable is the deeming of "worthwhile" even before the music is heard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Jimi was an obsessive musician driven to play and create, and for a good chunk of that time co-owned a studio that he could live in and party in and put down endless hours of music onto tape. That's why there's so much. It's not that they keep "discovering" it, it's out there and 99 percent in the hands of collectors and fans, they're just coming up with ways to market it and finding that there's still a market. I've collected everything I could of Jimi's with the help of other collectors and if you're a serious fan of his work it's almost all "worthwhile." To me the real "rub" is how much they'll tamper with the tapes. . . . Edited November 23, 2012 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Amen to that, Lon. So you have already heard these 12 tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Most likely. It's not exactly clear what sessions some of these are from, but I bet I have them somewhere, in inferior sound of course, and perhaps with different overdubs or lack of same.

Just the camp that the amount of "worthwhile" music being made in such a short period of time is in no way unprecedented, and therefore not unbelievable.

JSngry Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm surprised there's not been a label called Worthwhile Music...founded by Rodney Linten Worthwhile, of the Cutonian Worthwhiles, Northern America's Most Trusted Source Of Recorded Southern America's Breakdowns, Pool Parties, & Skeet Shoots. On the subject of Hendrix, I must say - without rancor - that although Jimi Hendrix changed my live forever before I was e'een a teenager, and made "free jazz" where I started from rather than what I tried to get to, I much prefer his finished studio output and various live recordings to almost all of the posthumously released and not quite complete stuff that have come out over the last 40 or so years. Gimme the three Experience albums, Band Of Gypsies, a select live show or five, and I'm set. Those are eternally renewable resources.

A Lark Ascending Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) They missed a trick here. They could have attached each separate track to the end of the main releases and reissued them in new packaging. Then, in 18 months, bundled all the albums into a special collectors edition box with even more packaging.

I know what you mean, but some of the live shows are just mind boggling. You do need at least 5 of the best of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case - nice idea - bad research. I suppose none of these tunes, like the Ghetto Brothers one, are unknown to fans/collectors?
