Hi there, Kimbrell here from Classic Waxxx…
Yes, oh yes…there is more Hendrix on the horizon, folks!For the first time ever, (commercially, that is) The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s “Miami Pop Fest” live set will officially see release on Vinyl, coming November 5, 2013. What makes this set really special is the first-ever live recorded versions of “Hear My Train A-Comin'” and the brilliant instrumental, “Tax Free,” and of course, the usual live Hendrix staples, like “Purple Haze” and “Hey Joe.”
The package includes never before published photos taken at the festival and an essay by award-winning music journalist and Grammy Museum Executive Director Bob Santelli. This album includes the show as originally recorded on site by Hendrix’s long term sound engineer, Eddie Kramer. The vinyl edition is an all analogue mastering by Bernie Grundman, pressed on 180g vinyl. This set will also be available on CD (for those who have yet to join the vinyl revolution.)
Cross your fingers that Hendrix fans will get an official release of the band’s Royal Albert Hall performance from 1969, in the near future, too…
