See how the different parts fit? Imagine what it's like when it's all finished! So what I have done so far is to put the different parts into my smartphone and added the folders I wanted into a playlist. For me, it's worked really well. If you're using a PC and something like Foobar2000, just add the folders you want and click on the Track Title Tab to reorder them all together correctly. I've tested different Apps/Programs and have been able to make it work without trouble. Personally, I'm diggin' parts 1-3 put together. I've reconfigured this in a few different ways. It'll be even more interesting once the live part is completed.
Most importantly, all of Hendrix's are all put together in order, as it was created. a whole lot of clarity and new insights here. I don't know why no one ever tried it. An MSWord document is included in the first folder. Jimi often worked on a track over many studio sessions. The date selected is (I believe) when recording the track was completed.
I hope you like it, as you can probably tell, I'm pretty excited about it.

thank you
I'm downloading session man first but you already know that I'm wierd.

I went to see a show at the Royal Festival Hall. It was billed as a "Guitar-In". Paco Pena was the Spanish part there was a folk singer and top of the bill was Cream. At the start they said Eric was not well so they had a replacement. If you wanted a refund you must leave now. Many left and I walked down and sat in the sixth row. The replacement was Jimi. This was in 1967 I think because he sang Purple Haze and made the line "S'cuse me while I kiss this sky-guy" playing on the comments about that song. In your travels have you heard of this show?
By the way my ears were ringing for days. I was 16.
BlankFrank, this is truly a gift. I'm digging what I've heard so far. Great work. Truly. But what's the deal with Alan Douglas, anyway? I never figured that out. I know Jimi's people didn't dig him. And I disliked Voodoo Soup, so i stopped paying attention after that. And Douglas died in 2014. But I guess he has his fans?
You read my mind, Joshua. For more on Alan Douglas, see the (next to last) link on the right side of Frank's page, Dead Hendrix, which takes you here: http://deadhendrix.blogspot.com. I happen to think that Alan Douglas did a good job. He got savaged by the Hendrix family so that they could "improve" everything re-issue it and.... guess what.... make $$$.
This looks great. Finally a fully organized Hendrix discography. Thanx a ton!

You got me intrigued, Anon. I'll dig into this Douglas caper a bit more. Sounds like I should at least give a listen. And yeah, I'm not a big fan of how Jimi's people have handled the music over the years. But when you die at 27 and are already a legend, these things are bound to happen. Alas.
Thanks!
Thanks again, BlankFrank - I'm downloading Parts 3/4/5 right now, and am eagerly awaiting Part 8... whee!
Wow, thanks for this! This is a big undertaking and we all appreciate it.
GREAT JOB THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Brilliant! Thankyou for the work you put into this. Treating Jimi's recorded legacy with the respect so often lacking from the official 'family' source. Cant wait to mesh the live stuff in and lock myself away for a week to listen! Thanks again.
"WeTransfer 4-5 (Until 16 March) **REPAIRED**" no longer available ? ://
Awesome, listening in this way will really highlight the growth of the man.
This is a great project - many thanks!
Amazing Work !!!!
Thank You So Much.
What a heroic feat: and a great, a truly intelligent concept! Thanks a million! The Chairman
Thank you very much for your effort. Keep it up.
Thank you very much for your monumental and respectful effort to finally after all these years present to us Jimi's studio recordings in an orderly fashion.
I do have one small point to make though.
The version of Blue Suede Shoes found in Volume One is not the same version (or take) from Loose Ends (at least not from my copy of Loose Ends). I do think both versions are from the same session but sadly the alternate take also does not appear in Volume 4 (Jams & Alternates).
I only bring this up because Jimi's studio banter (i.e. "ear goggles", "Goddamn I'm so on the sail", "Cymbal and snare. Only cymbal and snare....etc.) is not to be missed and, personally, I think it is the superior take of the song.
Again. thank you for all you do. I look forward to your future projects.
Whoops. I take it back about both versions of Blue Suede Shoes being from the same session.
According to Wikipedia the version of Blue Suede Shoes found on Loose Ends is from January 23, 1970 whereas the version found in volume one of your Hendrix anthology was recorded on May 30, 1970.

Again, thank you very much for this Jimi Hendrix post. Jimi's music has been the soundtrack of my existence for many, many years. Let me tell, even if it may seem out of context, right now I am enjoying your KHJ-LA compilations. I have to stay home due to the restrictions placed by the italian government on social gathering and travel for the coronavirus. I play KHJ-LA to cheer me up. Thank you so much. Best regards.
@ Earthbound. Thanks for pointing this out. I really appreciate your time and trouble I had found it myself shortly before reading your comment. The problem looks like a crediting error in The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set. The Loose Ends version is now updated. For ANYONE who has previously DLed this collection, please DL the Updates at the bottom of the post. If you are DL'ing now for the first time, there is no need, as all links have been updated to the latest.
@ "0", your blog has been added and thanks. I look forward to checking it out after I finished my next post!
I just discovered I misspoke when I earlier wrote that the "ear goggles" take of Blue Suede Shoes did not appear in 04 - Studio Masters Experience Hendrix 2 (Jams & Alternates). It's in there but the recording date is incorrectly listed as 1970 05 30.
It seems that the intention was to offer the second or alternate take of Blue Suede Shoes recorded on 1970 05 30, but what we have instead is the one and only take of Blue Suede Shoes recorded on 1970 01 22.
Maybe this is the other take of Blue Suede Shoes recorded 1970 05 30?

@BlankFrank
thanks, i've added yours also.
@BlankFrank
I love your blog and what you do! I hope you consider upgrade to FLAC.
However thank you!
A quick note to '0' (who posted earlier) to say how much I'm enjoying your blog (I can't find a way to leave a comment on the blog itself), some great stuff posted. A constructive comment would be that I really don't like that uploading provider that you use, lots of spam, and my antivirus really doesn't trust it. But that shouldn't take away from your well constructed blog.
BlankFrank - thanks for Hendrix, not an artist I've ever warmed to greatly, but will give the core studio stuff a listen.
thanks. your work here is amazing.
@Earthbound, as I understand it, there are two versions of Blue Suede Shoes - the one on 30 May which was incorrectly placed in the studio series is actually from Berkeley rehearsals and moved to the live set, part one. The other, from January '70 as heard on the Loose Ends LP has been added and updated to part one: studio. It's included on the update DL and the links have been updated to include all of my changes
@Anonymous
thanks for saying that, i really appreciate it.
as for the filehost..i'm looking into alternatives and have been for a while. i'm using firefox with ublock and have no trouble with the host but i understand that everyones experience is different.
thanks again
Cheers BF...superb collection and much appreciated.
Thanks so much for yor collection. An interview to be added to your BBC Sessions,

Hi, how can you say this -
>Special care has been taken to present these in the highest possible quality.
and in the same paragraph, say this?
>It's @320
Cognitively I can't handle the dissonance. Might be Dada humor?
Thank you, this is awesome!!
Thanks for sharing.
