Goodbye

This months posts from October 2023 will be the last.

This blog was started in April 2012 and after over 10 years, it's time to call it a day.

 

Since starting this blog, a lot of the music has been re-issued, re-mastered and is now available again, making a lot of these posts redundant. The advent of streaming services means my own self made compilations can also be easily put together.

 

The blog will stay up, it just won't be updated. The links will stay as long as they can. Apologies to everyone who can't access the links.

 

Thanks to everyone that read this blog, I hope you found something you liked.

The third and final instalment of the Hendrix recorded archive compilations is here.

This album attempts to pull together the recordings made by Hendrix and The Cry Of Love band (Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox). After Band Of  Gypsys, Henedrix really tried to get his new album together; completing and mixing many of the tracks he had started over the last year or so.

Again, presented in album format length, this represents the final recordings.
