This series is an attempt to represent the post-1968 material that contended for space in Jimi's ill-fated "First Rays of the New Rising Sun" project. Contention here is obviously hypothetical as it is unlikely that Jimi would have even considered many of these recordings as worthy enough. These are some gems culled into a playlist that broadly reflects the 1969 series of recordings done with Gypsy Sun and Rainbows and the Band of Gypsys. There are attempts to provide full length edits of unreleased work and new perspectives on old work.
