Electric Ladyland Outtakes
(Invasion Unlimited IU 9417-1 / 1994 / 1CD) ftbfs: B456
(Outtakes 1967-68 plus Drake Hotel Demos, New York City, NY apr.1968 / Outtakes 1969-70)
"1. (HAVE YOU EVER BEEN) TO ELECTRIC LADYLAND (instrumental backing track)"
Stripped-down, without all the effects. Great to sing along to though somewhat out of my range :)
"2. ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER (basic track without overdubs/effects)"
The guitar could be brought out a bit more in the mix, but I like the rough mix sound. The vocals are very upfront. Not too different from the final album version. I believe this is the same version of the song that appears on Master's Master.
"3. AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT (unreleased track with Noel Redding on vocals. Based on an instrumental called MY LITTLE ONE.)"
Actually a pretty groovy tune. Noel's voice fits this one pretty well. Significantly better than She's So Fine. The vocals are almost buried in the mix, so that helps as well.
"4. COME ON (PART 1) (alternate take)"
A few of my general comments apply here. I love the rough-sounding mix. This take is far enough from the final to make it worth hearing.
"5. VOODOO CHILE (SLIGHT RETURN) (an early studio take - a breakdown because Jimi makes a mistake)"
Great raw-sounding take. The end just kinda falls apart, but honestly, it doesn't sound that bad. Must be a fairly early take.
"6. ROOM FULL OF MIRRORS (an early version)"
Slow and rolling. Could be longer :)
"7. GYPSY EYES (an early rehearsal take with only guitar and drums)"
Not too shabby for "an early rehearsal take"!! I have no idea why they spelled it that way.
"8. GYPSY EYES (rough mix with different guitar-overdubs)"
Not far from the album version. The different overdubs are noticeable and IMHO slightly inferior, but I guess that's how it's supposed to work.
"9. HOUSE BURNING DOWN (rough mix)"
Not far here either. Strange, though slight, effect on Jimi's voice--I like it. A little weaker in the heavier parts, but still mucho enjoyable.
"10. CAT TALKIN' TO ME (instrumental backing track of an unreleased song)"
Interesting, but kinda slow. Significanlty rougher/earlier than the following. The intro is right from the middle of Ezy Ryder, the music leading up to and including "How long do you think he's gonna last..."
"11. CAT TALKIN' TO ME (track 10, different take, with overdubbed Mitch Mitchell vocals)"
I don't think I've ever heard Mitch sing before. I'm surprised at how his voice sounds. He's pretty good. He's got a perfect late-60's-sounding voice--gee, go figure.
"12. TAKING CARE OF NO BUSINESS (a real Jimi Hendrix oddity - complete with horn arrangement. Unreleased.)"
Big tuba. Slow, swinging blues. A sitting-on-the-porch-in-the-summer-heat-drinking-something-cold-and-watching-the-day-go-by-kind of song.
"I'm so broke I can't even pay attention."
"13. ANGEL (demo recorded at Jimi's apartment - just his voice and electric guitar)"
This is the same as on the Home Recordings disc included with the Illustrated Legend Book, though the sound quality is perhaps a hair poorer here. Fortunately this is one of my favorite two tracks off of the Illus. Legend disc.
"14. 1983... (A MERMAID I SHOULD TURN TO BE) (same as track 13)"
Fortuantely this is my other favorite track off of the Illustrated Legend disc. :) Sound quality another hair poorer on this one.
"15. 1983... (A MERMAID I SHOULD TURN TO BE) (early studio take)"
Still playing with the lyrics and melody a bit. It's pretty much the full-band version of the home recording version. Very interesting and enjoyable in it's own right. A dreamier sound.
"16. 1983... (A MERMAID I SHOULD TURN TO BE) (a "vocal" mix - no bass and drums)"
Actually, the bass and drums are present briefly at the beginning. Close to the album version, not perfect, jimi still has a few things to iron out here.
"17. VALLEYS OF NEPTUNE...ARISING (unreleased song - a session - like runthrough with only Jimi on guitar/vocals and Mitch on drums)"
I wasn't previously familiar with this tume, so I don't have much to say other than I'd love to hear a final version of this tune, if there is one that is.
"18. VALLEYS OF NEPTUNE...ARISING (a gentle, flowing instrumental version of the song. A Fleetwood Mac "Albatross"-like-arrangement showing that Jimi really could play...)"
Ok, the guy writing these descriptions is starting to get a little over-tired here or something. Jimi is saying something at the beginning--prerecording chatter--but I can't make out what he's trying to say. Inclusion of the bass allows Jimi to do a bit more solo work. The begining of this is the end of In From the Storm.
"19. FREEDOM (an early rehearsal take)"
