An album featuring previously unreleased recordings by rock great Jimi Hendrix will go on sale next month.. almost four decades after his death.
Valleys of Neptune will go on sale March 9 featuring 12 fully realised studio recordings.. more than 60 minutes of music that has never been commercially released
The album provides an essential compelling and up-till-now largely unseen view of what Jimi Hendrix was up to musically in the critical period between the release of Electric Ladyland in October 1968 and the 1970 opening of his own Electric Lady Studios.
The album is produced by Janie Hendrix, John McDermott and Eddie Kramer.
It launches a series of projects marking 40 years since Hendrix died aged 27.. on September 18, 1970.

Maybe this album will have a tune on it!

The reviews that I have read so far seem to agree that it’s something that would be more of interest to diehard Jimi fans as much of it is from his experimental phase, when he was forming Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, and departing from what would be regarded by most as his classic material.
Funnily enough, I was listening to Planet Rock today whilst decorating (AC/DC is so good for rollering to 😀 ) and they played ‘Fire’ with that immortal line “Move over, Rover, and let Jimi take over………….”
Gotta love that boy 😎
