Back in the 1980s it was still possible to pick up loads of Jimi's vinyl albums second hand on the original
Track and subsequently on
Polydor record labels in England like
Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love, Electric Ladyland, Cry Of Love and many more so I collected the lot then I started picking up the
Lonnie Youngblood albums from 1963 and also the
Curtis Knight albums that featured Jimi from 1965/66 and the
Ed Chalpin PPX stuff from 1965/66 & 67 then some more obscure stuff one of my favourites was a vinyl album called
Free Spirit that was a great album although I believe it dated from about 1964 and it features about 6 or 7 tracks one of which was the
Animal's song
House Of The Rising Sun and a long instrument called
Let The God Sing all topped off with a good picture of Jimi on the album cover circa 1969/70(?) if I can find it I shall post it on here.

That was the 'scam' back then minor record companies would put out substandard recordings of Hendrix when he was a sideman from 1964 or 1965 and then put a nice picture of Jimi on the album cover of him on stage playing the Isle of Wight festival in 1970 so collectors would buy it more for the album cover rather than the music. I think Experience Hendrix bought up all those early tapes and locked them all in there record vaults because you never see any of that stuff anymore these days.
