Jimi Hendrix - By Himself - The Home Recordings

Posted By : SteveJobs | Date : 02 Feb 2010 22:52:10 | Comments : 16 |

Bonus-CD of raw and pure homerecordings only available with the comic-book "Voodoo Child".
This is Jimi alone in his apartment in New York sometime in 1968, rehearsing songs that were supposed to be on Electric Ladyland with just a guitar, one mike and a small amp.

The sound quality is what is absolutely stunning about these songs - there is virtually no tape hiss, dead silence in ambient background, just Jimi, playing very relaxed and laid-back. You can hear him turning pages of sheet music during some bridges and breaks between songs, and just when you think you've heard everything, the phone rings (and goes unanswered) near the end of the album.

Tracklisting:

1 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be) 7:45
2 Angel 3:28
3 Cherokee Jam 3:12
4 Hear My Train a Comin' 1:22
5 Voodoo Chile/Cherokee Mist 10:09
6 Gypsy Eyes 2:59

thx buddie!!!

could you start, if it's not big trouble, to consider uploading also a mirror on mediafire...or if that's not possible, in megaupload?

Thanks a lot for this "something different" one.

goa:
rapidshare promised new servers for march, and a lot of the download limitations will be gone.
Check out their homepage / news.
And never forget:
Uploading is WAY SLOWER than downloading !

Thanks for let me have this one back. I found it on a torrent some years back, but it is for somehow gone. It is a very private Hendrix on this one. Great post!

So as a kind of experiment I upload this one to Mediafire and Megaupload to see if there is really so much demand of alternate mirrors and how many people will use them.
According to Avax rules anyone is free to post mirrors as long as the author does not forbid it in his posting. But I see this opportunity is rarely used by downloaders.
As uploading takes quite some time I think this is a one off experiment, but let's see how many people will use the alternate options.

Thanks SteveJobs ( :lol: )

I use JDownloader.

I used the Hendrix mediafire links now at work, and reached the speed of 1 MB :lol:
(at home my dl speed is only 70 kbps :-( )

RS is blocked here, and MU is quite good for free users, and the speed I get is around 300 kbps, not bad at all.

RS for free usurs sucks, yesterday at home, "there are no availible slots" for 2 damn hours!!!

StevJobs: I really appreciatted the MF...why is not popular, I don't get it?

Posted By: SteveJobs Date: 03 Feb 2010 11:55:14

I think it depends very much from where you download and which download manager you use. I have the most trouble with MU. Usually I have to try several times and can get only one archive per day. (But I don't use JD yet.)
Why MF isn't more popular I don't know. Upload speeds are average for me and I can only upload one file at a time. For multiuploads I'd have to upgrade to premium user and have to pay them. There isn't a rewards program for uploaders too so I guess that's why it isn't so popular either.
It's enough of a hassle to manage one filesharing service alone, so I guess most people stick to what it is used by most: RS...

YOU have to use JDownloader.

and with mediafire you could upload several files, a pair of clicks and that's all
I do it, and YOU know I did it recently for you :lol:

There is no need to premium.

anyway, thanks and check your e-mail for a LR DVD

Thank You SteveJobs.

Sound is Great!
One Jimi worth dozen of some others...
Thank You for mirrors - used both and finished in 4 minutes.
RS would take hours...
Thank You for this new, rare Jimi!

At the moment my dowload speed with RS (Premium account) is almost as high (or low) compared to MU as a free user... Let's all boycot RapidCrap!

Thanks for this new-to-me Jimi CD!

Posted By: SteveJobs Date: 03 Feb 2010 17:35:22

Thank you for your comments concerning download speeds. Quite interesting and often quite different from what I experience.

Anyway enjoy this fine Jimi recording. It is quite different to what you usually hear on a Hendrix release.

Oh, what a great cd!
Very nice they have puted the benefit CD inside the book.
Thank you Steve for this great jobs! :)))

I have premium RS account but I hate that crap hoster, RS use us like chip workers.
I have a lot premium points but I can't use it to extend my account more than one month,
but at same time is allowed to pay cash every day for few years in advance.

btw
Are the scans original or you made them?

Posted By: SteveJobs Date: 03 Feb 2010 23:42:04

Thanks for your comment JustPlay. I think RS knows that it makes most of it's $$s with filesharing sites like this and I feel they are trying to make as much $$s from us as possible. (Although I have enough points to go for a long time...)
For non-premium users it must be worst. Like I experience it with services where I am the free user...

I'm trying some alternatives - let's see how they work.

I have made all the scans myself. On my Epson scanner... :-)

this is like having JH playing in your room...what a beatiful experience...Am I Experienced? :lol:

if you have some more JH in this "relaxed" state, official or bootleg, would be welcomed.

Posted By: gonzalo76 Date: 08 Feb 2010 03:14:36

Thank you very kindly !

P.S: If you don't have a premium RS, it's because you don't share anything !

Posted By: sexy mexican man Date: 24 Sep 2010 18:49:10

I honestly don't know why people are always complaining about RS. It's the best if you have a premium account -- 99% of the stuff I download is on RS.

Thank you very much for posting this great CD in FLAC. I downloaded from MediaFire, but only because the RS links are dead.
