You're bidding on the original 1999 MCA/EXPERIENCE HENDRIX three record set, JIMI HENDRIX BAND OF GYPSYS/ LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST (MCA3-11931)
THREE (180) GRAM RECORDS TRI-FOLD SLEEVE
FULL SIZED SIX PAGE BOOKLET
AMG 4 STARS: A series of Jimi Hendrix performances from the Band of Gypsys concerts finally gets the deluxe treatment from MCA and Experience Hendrix, as tapes from both first and second shows are brought together, correctly identified (1986's Band of Gypsys 2 actually featured three tracks that weren't by the band at all) in one deluxe two-disc set. This newly expanded edition contains the only live versions of "Earth Blues," "Auld Lang Syne," "Stepping Stone," and "Burning Desire"; Hendrix tunes specifically worked up for the performance that rarely surfaced again like "Izabella," "Power of Soul," and "Who Knows"; newly remastered versions of "Stop" and "Hear My Train a-Comin'" (both originally presented on Band of Gypsys 2 in horrendous sound) and classic performances of "Stone Free," "Changes," "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," and "Wild Thing." Equally as revelatory is one of the two alternate versions included of "Machine Gun," every bit as stunning as the better-known version. Though this new edition hardly makes all previous incarnations obsolete, it presents the man at his most challenged and brilliant.
Condition: the tri-fold sleeve grades EX, due to small corner dents- see photos. The three records grade MINT. None of the three records have been played. Check out my feedback score; you won't be disappointed.
