1968-08-03 Dallas [FD Cleanup] and 1968-08-11 Davenport Iowa [FD Cleanup]

Sorry for long delay in uploading to blog...here are a couple that I had to release...

16 - Fire [EH Compressed Source]
17 - Red House [EH Compressed Source]
18 - Purple Haze [EH Compressed Source]
19 - Wild Thing [EH Compressed Source]
20 - Red House [Alt Mix from ATM]

Lineage: ATM 169 Way Down In Texas Land Rev A FLAC> Adobe Audition (NR, EQ, Comp, Speed Correction)> FLAC
EH Compressed Sources from Youtube(compressed audio)to FLAC> Adobe Audition (Declicked, NR, EQ, Comp, Speed Correction)>FLAC

Have included the cleanup of EH distributed transfer, as it sounds a bit better than ATM - but as it is compressed, it is just for comparison.

Some of the EH transfers of audience tapes have been better source material than some of the previous transfers - but of course they are only in a compressed form (via YouTube) so I have specially marked them so these won't be passed off as uncompressed. I was wondering whether they should be included at all - but some of them produced better results than what was previously available - compression and all.

Original Notes: This is taken directly from my 2-record boot Lp. This came out in the early 1980s and at the time was the only generally available source for this show. I kept this Lps in good condition, but this is not the definitive transfer, some snaps, crackles and pops along the way. I'm sure there are better, but didn't see it on the tracker...so here ya go! Jimi in Iowa!!!!


FD Notes: Davenport - was taken from the vinyl source (transferred to FLAC) because it actually sounded the best to me...EH also released a decent transfer, and it was interesting to see their take on the speed of AYE? I had previously "speed corrected" it to A Flat, but it sounded slow...as it always seems to be in A including EH transfer, I suspect this was played in regular tuning.

So AYE is stereo (where is that tape?) - and in standard tuning, while the rest of the show is in mono and E flat tuning.
Some of the EH transfers of audience tapes have been better source material than some of the previous transfers - but of course they are only in a compressed form (via YouTube) so I have specially marked them so these won't be passed off as uncompressed. I was wondering whether they should be included at all - but some of them produced better results than what was previously available - compression and all.

The Intro on the vinyl version of Davenport is slightly truncated, as there is not much missing except audience noise and tuning, I elected to leave it with the shorter intro.

Tax Free (Missing From Tape) - such a pity...

Sweet Angel with Vocals

Sorry for lack of recent posts. Here's a quick one...I was really interested to hear the Sweet Angel instrumental on the new compilation, because I wanted to merge with the vocals. I would have preferred an arrangement like this to what ended up on Cry of Love, which ended up a bit bombastic or something...

1969 Red House Compilation [FD Cleanups] (Volume 2 - USA)

The majority of these Red House versions are from completed show "cleanups" - some of which have been released, many of which have not. So besides a representation of Red House as it evolved throughout 1969, it is also a representation of the sound of the "cleanups"...

I have left off official stuff, such as San Diego and Woodstock.

All AUD cleanups are FLAC sourced, the sources were mostly ATMs - so they are the best circulating, and I tried to find new updates from CTT etc to use best sources possible. A couple were done a few years ago, so I probably need to go back and redo a couple...

Also some of the 1969 US tapes are pretty rough...so bearing that in mind...

1969 Red House Compilation [FD Cleanups] (Volume 1 - Europe)

The majority of these Red House versions are from completed show "cleanups" - some of which have been released, many of which have not. So besides a representation of Red House as it evolved throughout 1969, it is also a representation of the sound of the "cleanups"...

I didn't touch the 1969-01-09 Stockholm (1st and 2nd Show) which were SBD...I have also left off official stuff, such as RAH.

All AUD cleanups are FLAC sourced, the sources were mostly ATMs - so they are the best circulating, and I tried to find new updates from CTT etc to use best sources possible.

09 - Purple Haze
10 - Wild Thing (fragment)

Lineage ATM093 FLAC > Adobe Audition (EQ, Comp, Speed Correction) > FLAC

As this was a good quality tape, I didn't go overboard with the EQing etc, but ATM093 source had speed issues. The first three tracks are fine (Eb tuning) but Red House slows down (can be easily heard near the end of the track on raw source) - that got corrected up to Bb, but then after Red House slow down, the tape speeds up almost a semi-tone - so the songs after Red House were checked to make sure it was Eb tuning all the way. Sounds right now.

ATM093 has only a fragment of Wild Thing - I couldn't find a longer version in the "archives" - if anyone has it - would be much obliged.

Jimi Hendrix - 2+ Hour mixtape of mostly rare, obscure and tweaked material

2+ Hour mixtape of mostly rare, obscure and tweaked material by funkydrummer
This was based around material from First Rays era Hendrix - another glimpse at the fragments left by Jimi, another means of assembly, another way of listing again...
Some of the segues and edits between tracks have been thought through in advance, others I decided through Jimi's own direction - in the end I decided to make a "weird" comp - more about creating a sense of mood and new relations between tracks - there were some well known tracks left out - but I have other compilations on the boil.
So while it is a re-presentation of many First Rays tracks, it is not an attempt to reconstruct it. Hence it is a mix tape...

Many of the segues between tracks were made by using segues that Hendrix himself used.
[merges and segues between tracks not listed]

It has been saved as one big file - many players leave gaps between tracks, and this spoils the mix...so I saved as single file.
