notes:
- It has not been 100% verified that the Hansson & Karlsson jam portion
included in this set is the "real deal", and that these recordings do in fact
feature Jimi Hendrix. The complete recording of the Hansson & Karlsson jam
from Club Filips, Stockholm 07.09.67 allegedly runs for 4 hr 15 min but remain
unreleased / uncirculated. The recordings featured in this set are just 12
brief samples, and clock in at a total of a little over 16 min's. There does
reputedly also exist a 13 tracks 23 min sample tape from this jam, but that is
said to be the same 16 min tape that's included here, merely with the addition
of an extra 6+ min track pieced together from the 12 "original" samples.
- Uncertainty has for a long time surrounded both the exact date for the Scene
Club recordings and the personnel featured on them. The date has now been
confirmed as 18.03.68, and personnel is believed to be Jimi Hendrix (guitar /
vocals), Jim Morrison (vocals) and Lester Chambers (harp) plus two unknown
guitarists, unknown bass and unknown drums. Some of these may or may not have
been members of The McCoys or The Young Rascals, but neither Johnny Winter nor
Rick Derringer were among them.
- Some sources erroneously list the date for the Scene Club jam as 06.03.68 or
07.03.68.
- Roy Buchanan was formerly believed to have participated in the 07.04.68 jam,
but this is wrong. The guitarist in question is most likely Dave Woods, with
Ed "Bugs" Gregory on bass, and possibly Glenway McTeer on drums.
- Some sources list the date for the jam with B.B.King as 09.04.68.
- This set features all circulating live jam recordings of Jimi Hendrix
1966-70 with the exception of the jam at Newport '69 Pop Festival, San
Fernando State College, Devonshire Downs, CA 22.06.69, available on ATM
032-034 "Earth vs. Space - The Newport Legacy".
