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.
