Fire info
The original four track recording of each instrument (before the four-track to four-track mix reductions) with Mitch's drums in stereo. In fact it is a superb remix of the track we all know from "Are You Experienced". The two guitar tracks have been seperated to left and right, the bass is less dominant, the backing vocals are away from the left (which is plain daft on the original stereo mix) and we get the actual ending of the song, rather than the albums slow fade out.

May This Be Love info
This differs from the original with its double tracked vocal and slight extra guitar overdubs (and the awesomely beautiful solo is more up-front in the mix - fantastic).

Love or Confusion info
Already previewed on a two track CD, it's an alternate version with only slight differences (alternante vocal and guitar parts). Like with "Fire", the mix here is far superior to the original stereo version (which was practically mono with Jimi's voice stuck on the left).

Little One lyrics info
An excerpt of this instrumental had appeared on "Lifelines" and this is well know to collectors from a multitude of bootlegs. The debate is still on as to whether it is Dave Mason or Brian Jones on sitar. Apparently Noel had said that it was Jones and "Jam with Brian Jones" was written on the tape box! In 1988 Noel added his own lyrics and vocals to this and it surfaced in 2003 on the official compilation "Noel Redding - The Experience Sessions". This was also released on Purple Haze Record's "Axis Outtakes". Nice to hear it here with very good sound reproduction.

As opposed to the version with 1988 overdubs that appeared recently on the "Valleys Of Neptune" album, this is the original stereo recording (it was in hissy mono on the "Lifelines" radio documentary).

Tears of Rage info
This great little home demo features Jimi on electric guitar recording the Bob Dylan/Richard Manuel song, accompanied by his old Greenwich Village friend Paul Caruso. Jimi learned the song from listening to a privately circulated copy of Bob Dylan and the Band’s unreleased ‘Basement Tapes’ as the song had not yet officially appeared on disc by either Dylan or the Band at the time of this recording. An edited demonstration version of this has circulated on the bootleg "Happy Birthday Jimi".

Calling All Devil's Children info
This has also already circulated and it's one of Jimi's strangest recordings. It opens with a monster Link Wray type riff and continues with a brooding indian feel then finishes with Jimi shouting like he's at a political rally adressing a crowd with his manifesto! Infuriatingly, it fades out before the "drug bust" ending which is on the much circulated bootleg version. Experience Hendrix censorship!

New Rising Sun info
This much circulated instrumental features Jimi playing all instruments as he evokes the feel of his later composition "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)". It was also on the Alan Douglas compilation "Voodoo Soup" in an edited form. It is charming but ambles on a little too long. It was only a personnal demo it must be remembered.

Hear My Freedom info
This jam is from the "Ball & Chain" bootleg. It mainly features an organist (thought to be Lee Michaels) backed by Buddy Miles' funky drumming. Jimi only puts in brief solo burst and a short raggedy rap vocal.

Messenger lyrics info
This is known from the "Ball & Chain" bootleg. It's just a sketch of a song from Jimi as he hammers away on a repetitive ascending riff, which doesn't really go anywhere. The piano parts are played by Jimi (and not Lee Michaels as the bootleg evoked).

Mastermind info
A studio run through of the song that Larry Lee sang at Woodstock (that live version has never been officially released). It's a nice little romantic R&B song penned by Lee himself and is very similar to the old single "(My Girl) She's A Fox)" by The Icemen (see CD1) on which Jimi played some similar licks.
