I've been waiting for First Rays of the New Rising Sun for years. Finally some news on that front as well...

Centered around tracks recorded during a pivotal and turbulent four-month period in 1969, Valleys of Neptune unveils the original Jimi Hendrix Experience's final studio recordings, as the group lays down the foundation for its follow-up to Electric Ladyland, ...

XM Deep Tracks is playing it ....same 'ole Hendrix , its OK, but......

yep - its what, 40+ year old tracks ...
its gonna sound dated to 2010 ears ...
I have some of the old albums and have played them occasionally in the last 5 years
... but I don't see me chasing out after new/old Hendrix material.

If its original, how much of a revelation can it be?
If its a remix/hybrid like some of the duets that never happened??

to clarify - I own these original releases ...
1967 - Are You Experienced
1967 - Axis: Bold as Love
1968 - Electric Ladyland (my Fav of all of them)
1970 - Band of Gypsies
1971 - Rainbow Bridge

I totally disagree with the term “dated” it should sound like it should be nothing more and nothing less.

By all means do two versions for the paying tax dollar consumer!
Two versions of equal quality equal’s consumer choice, rather than just limiting to just one.

Speak ENGLISH, sir - no one knows WHAT you are popping off about with that posting ...

How about we, talk about cats and kittens because you seem like a different person?

Please, don’t make me, swear, I’m in calm like mood right now. It’s the way I, type. I’m seriously dyslexic. I never had a descent English, education, okay is that good enough for? Right lets be civil towards each other Heather, thank you.

Go and listen to “Purple Haze” right now!

Look - I understand you have dyslexia - I know what that's like, my last spouse had it really bad -
but -
it got worse when she was stressed or tired -
so -
take it easy on yourself, have a break now and then, don't push yourself so hard.

And give us a bit more background when you are talking about something specific,
like music tracks from a movie soundtrack. There is no way we can follow a conversation if we don't know what its about when the subject changes.

Of course, songs in a movie are often different mixes than what came on the original album,
so it makes a difference to know its the movie soundtrack version.

This is not meant to be a test or a trick, really - its just words in short bursts, punctuated ...
