 Hey! C'mere! Yeah baby! It's the Summer of Love! November 8, 2004
Douglas Vanni (Adrift In Consciousness)
Get this folio if you want accurate transcriptions of Hendrix' unique 1967 work, containing an interesting array of his better known songs, covers, and blues.
A glaring ommission here is 'Driving South', performed thrice on the album, with one scintillating version (disc 1/track 17) being contained in Hal Leonard's 'Radio One' folio. Also missing over the 'Radio One' folio are the songs 'Love or Confusion', 'Purple Haze', 'Fire', 'Foxey Lady', and 'Stone Free'.
Rather, this folio contains numerous songs not in the 'Radio One' folio such as - 'I Was Made to Love Her', 'Sunshine of Your Love', 'A Brand New Sound', 'Can I Please Crawl Out Your Window', and 'Jammin'.
Added, the 'Radio One' album was Rycodisc's abridged edition of Hendix' BBC work, although discontinued, is readily available on the secondary market.
Overall, this folio is quite good, appealing particularly to those wanting to discover Jimi's live 'bare bones' approach, over learning about his multi-tracked and studio manipulated performances.
And get the folio for 'Radio One', too!
