Wow - Thanks for the heads up

1 more week to go! Small correction: release date is next Tuesday 3/9. Kinda excited myself as I don't own any Jimi Hendrix albums yet.

Also thought I'd reiterate that newly remastered CDs of Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, Axis Bold As Love, and First Rays of the New Rising Sun will also be coming out on 3/9 and will also each bundle a DVD for the low price of $10 per title at Amazon. I have all 5 of the new releases queued up in my cart now, just waiting to buy them early next week.

Down to 8.99 today for all of them except First Rays of New Rising Sun and Valley of Neptune (they are still 10 bucks). Just ordered all 5 and can't f'n wait

Just to let anyone who cares know, this was leaked online a few days ago. (No, I haven't listened to it. Yet.)

Waveforms of the first 7 tracks from Valleys of Neptune attached. Mastering looks to be ok from this perspective. Sounds pretty good too.

I pity the fool who has to listen to this on CD

SQ is great on vinyl, way more dynamic. Not a bad posthumous Jimmy album. Though it still has two tracks butchered at the hands of the monster Alan Douglas.

I guess it's respectable for a studio album, I'm much more of fan of his live recordings which is where I think he really shines. The Blue Wild Angel version of "Red House" absolutely kills the one on this album, and of the songs on the album where there's live versions, the live ones are always better. Not necessarily in sound quality, but in the way the band plays and how they jam and make the music really take a life of its own.

I'll probably make my own version of the album by replacing as many tracks as I can with live versions.
