    Get this. It??s amazing. It??s on a label called "Babylon Budget", and it??s a Chalpin production, so there??s a lot of material that has been on numerous other records he put out (Get out of my life woman, Sugar pie, Honey bunch etc), but on the last side there??s three long, spacey ultragritty jams with the most ridiculous breaks ever on them. Sound is rugged but still a lot nicer compared to other posthumous Hendrix releases.

    Have you heard the "Experience" OST? On Ember?

    Appearantly there??s two more volumes in this series as well, but I??ve only ever seen vol. 1.

    I just checked the album out further. The liner notes are insane! I think Chalpin himself wrote them, he keeps going on about how he and Jimi were the originators of psychedelic rock, how they were best buddies, how they ushered in the "the new era", completely sweeping the blood-sucking exploitation bit under the carpet.

    What a jerk.

    I??ll hook up some mp3s.

    Oh, and there??s an entire album done like this on MFP. Ray charles covers for days.

    Theres a killer 45 on Italian Stateside by Curtis Knight called "Lost Memory" thats not on any of the albums, that really sounds like Jimi playing on it. I'm not sure if it was only issued in Italy or what, but I've never seen this song on any of the bootlegs and budget lps floating around. I got it from an Italian guy on Ebay a year or so ago.

    The problem with all those knock off Hendrix LPs, and let me tell you, there are dozens of them, is that some of them are Hendrix with Curtis Knight and others are with Lonnie Youngblood, but you can't really tell the difference.

    For a while I was intent on collecting every single budget LP of his, but then I noticed it's basically the same set of songs just released over and over, sometimes changing the names as well! and I gave up. Here'a s whole mess of reviews, mostly of those knock off Hendrix albums.

    The releases on Astan, which I think was out of Germany, might have the best sound quality, but there also ones with liner notes that actually try to explain what's what.
