Hendrix in the West was a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix, released in January 1972 by Polydor Records, and later in February by Reprise Records. The album contains songs from Hendrix's performances at the Royal Albert Hall on February 24, 1969, the San Diego Sports Arena on May 24, 1969, Berkeley Community Theatre on May 30, 1970 and the Isle of Wight Festival on August 30, 1970. The album's credits mislabel "Little Wing" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" as being recorded at the San Diego Sports Arena, when in fact these two tracks were recorded at the Royal Albert Hall on February 24, 1969. The album reached No. 7 in the U.K. albums chart, and No. 12 in the Billboard 200.

This album was re-released on September 13, 2011 as part of the Hendrix family's project to remaster Jimi's discography.

egacy's unprecedented archival restoration of Jimi Hendrix's catalog continues with more treasures. Consisting of live material recorded at venues ranging from the Berkeley Community Theatre and the San Diego Sports Arena to the Isle of Wight Festival, Hendrix In The West captures the guitarist exploring new directions in sound during 1969-70. Robert Christgau, the Dean of American Rock Critics, called Hendrix's versions of "Red House" and "Johnny B. Goode" on this album "definitive."

Out of print in the U.S. since 1974 and for more than two decades internationally, Hendrix In The West has remained one of the most requested albums by fans to return to the commercial marketplace. Mastered from the original sources and pressed on high-quality 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, and up to the same stellar standards as Legacy's reissues of Hendrix's groundbreaking studio efforts, the record has never sounded or looked better.

The album's iconic cover features a classic Jim Marshall photograph of the guitarist, while a lavish booklet is filled with rare and previously unseen images captured by Marshall's distinctive lens. Moreover, listeners get to discover five previously unavailable bonus tracks that, believe it or not, add on to Hendrix's considerable legacy. In addition to the Chuck Berry cover, Hendrix also re-imagines the Beatles ("Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band") and Carl Perkins ("Blue Suede Shoes").

"The sound is a major improvement to the original release!"

I think it depends on who you are,how old you are, and the originals you refers to.
I've still got my original version on LP bought in 1972 on Polydor and later on the CD version.
I have the Orig. US Ludwig cut vinyl rip from profstoned, an early vinyl ripper. A+

I like the new one, no doubt about that. It's nearly in mono only with the public faded out in stereo from time to time. Nobody likes Mitch Michel only in left channel (50+ does), so this version appeals to young people and me too so from here a big thanks to you aksman. Time changes.

God sacrasanct! Little wing is not the same so how can this be "Hendrix in the West". BTW great tanscription and thanks for that - but record companies don't half cheese you off. BTW I've the old polydor cut and in comparison this sounds very digital - like the vinyl master was cut from a digital master, which it probably was.
