Title:	Hendrix Live In Scandinavia Vol. 1
Label:	VOODOO CHILE (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	6CD BOX
Price:	$70.00
Catalog #:	VC 9002CD

"Presented here are complete concerts sourced from amateur recordings with the exception of the 5th September live radio show which is now in improved sound quality over its previous release on Stages. What you will hear on these concerts from Sweden and Denmark is the raw energy of those early shows and the excitement of fans perhaps seeing Jimi for the first time and being blown away by the Experience. You will hear what they heard; you will become part of the audience, you will share their Experience. For us, this more than makes up for what it might lack in recording quality; we believe these tapes have adequate clarity and deserve release on their own merit. You will also hear occasional problems that Jimi faced with the mismatch of volume levels between voice and instruments due to inadequate, low-powered public address systems for his vocals and sometimes unreliable guitar amplifiers. Although on first glance the set-lists look repetitive, one has to bear in mind that Jimi never played the same song in the same way twice. He liked to keep things fresh and was a master of improvisation, hence his love of jamming. 7 complete 1967/68 performances from Sweden and Denmark -- presented together for the first time. 6 CD collectors limited edition. Officially licensed from the estate of Hendrix's former manager, Michael Jeffery. Individually numbered, only 2000 copies world-wide."

Catalog #:	VC 9006CD

"In this Jimi Hendrix studio box set, you will find recordings from a variety of sources: acetates, home recordings, demos, studio jams, alternate mixes and embryonic versions of familiar songs. It is not the purpose of this release to eclipse the three classic albums released in his lifetime but to enhance them. Just as musicologists of our time scrutinize the notebooks and discarded and unfinished works of Mozart, Beethoven and other great composers of the last two centuries to glean insights into their creative minds, so too will musicologists in the late 21st or 22nd century examine the works of one of the most gifted, innovative and influential musicians of the late 20th century. However, we don't have to wait that long to make our own voyage of discovery into the mind and music of Jimi Hendrix. 6 CD set, over 6 1/2 hours of music. Includes the legendary John McLaughlin jam. 8-page booklet. Officially licensed from the estate of Hendrix's former manager, Michael Jeffery. Numbered and limited edition - only 1000 numbered copies worldwide."

Title:	Rockin' The USA Vol. 1

Price:	$70.00
Catalog #:	VC 9007CD

"Jimi Hendrix is considered the world's greatest guitarist and has held that title since before his death some thirty eight years ago in London in September 1970. While there were only three officially released studio albums released during his lifetime Jimi was extremely prolific in the live arena and played countless concerts. Whilst Jimi was never an artist to confine himself to one particular area playing in both mainland Europe and also the UK a great many of Jimi's live concerts took place in America hence the title of this boxed set of concert recordings, Rockin' the USA Vol.1. Since Jimi's first concert with The Experience at the Monterey Festival in June 1967, Jimi had played many concerts the length and breadth of the country and performed for literally millions of people. The discs contained in this boxed set cover the period February 1968 through to November 1968. During that nine month period The Experience played three lengthy American tours with more touring in Europe between the two American tours. Jimi also released the hugely successful and influential double album Electric Ladyland in October of 1968. To say that 1968 was a key year for Jimi Hendrix would be perhaps stating the obvious; it was, however, a year when Jimi consolidated his role as perhaps the major live rock act of the time. Whilst the sonic quality of some of the performances contained within this boxed set may not be as good as we would have hoped, we have included them because we felt it right to include these recordings for the sake of history and also to document the live performances of the world's greatest guitarist... Jimi. 7 complete 1968 performances from the USA -- presented together for the first time. 6 CD collectors limited edition of 1000 worldwide. Officially licensed from the Michael Jeffery Estate, Hendrix's former manager."

Officially licensed from the Michael Jeffery Estate, Hendrix's former manager."
