Jimi Hendrix - BBC DAT Masters (Bootleg 2CD)

Jimi Hendrix - BBC DAT Masters (Bootleg 2CD)


In his brief four-year reign as a superstar, Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since.
Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument, often with innovative amplification experiments that
produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion.
His frequent hurricane blasts of noise and dazzling showmanship -he could and would play behind his back and with his teeth and set his guitar
on fire- has sometimes obscured his considerable gifts as a songwriter, singer, and master of a gamut of Blues, R&B, and Rock styles.
It was in a New York club that Hendrix was spotted by Animals bassist Chas Chandler.
The first line-up of the Animals was about to split, and Chandler, looking to move into management, convinced Hendrix to move to London and
record as a solo act in England.
There a group was built around Jimi, also featuring Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Redding on bass, that was dubbed the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
The trio became stars with astonishing speed in the U.K., where "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", and "The Wind Cries Mary" all made the Top Ten in the
first half of 1967.
These tracks were also featured on their debut album, Are You Experienced?, a psychedelic meisterwerk that became a huge hit in the U.S. after
Hendrix created a sensation at the Monterey Pop Festival in June of 1967.
Amazingly, Hendrix would only record three fully conceived studio albums, and a massive amount of unreleased studio material during his lifetime.
The material featured on these discs are verified digital copies of BBC's DAT Masters.
Nothing has been done to them, nothing has been added and nothing been taken away. These really are raw. Wow! That's a bit heavy!
