VALLEYS OF THE NEPTUNE by JIMI HENDRIX

Valleys Of Neptune is the newly compiled album of 12 fully realized studio recordings, and more than 60 minutes of music never commercially available!

This LP is pressed at RTI's world class facility in Camarillo, California. Valleys Of Neptune provides an essential, compelling, and up-til-now largely unseen view of what Jimi Hendrix was up to musically in the critical period between the release of Electric Ladyland in October 1968 and the 1970 opening of his own Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village, the state of the art facility where he would begin his final project, the ambitious double album First Rays Of The New Rising Sun. Valleys of Neptune is originality electrified, offering more than 60 minutes of previously unreleased Jimi Hendrix music, originally recorded, and newly mixed for this historic release, by Hendrix's longtime engineer Eddie Kramer, who first worked with the guitarist on Are You Experienced in 1967. Valleys Of Neptune is produced by Janie Hendrix, John McDermott (who contributes detailed liner notes to the album) and Eddie Kramer. "Valleys of Neptune" has long been one of the most sought after of any commercially unavailable Jimi Hendrix recording and sees it's debut nearly forty years after Jimi finished recording the track at New York's Record Plant in May of 1970. Other highlights on Valleys Of Neptune include blazing studio covers of Elmore James' classic "Bleeding Heart" and Cream's "Sunshine Of Your Love" as well as premier performances of original Hendrix compositions like "Ships Passing Through The Night," "Lullaby For The Summer" and The Jimi Hendrix Experience's the original un-dubbed rendition of "Hear My Train A Comin'." Also included in Valleys Of Neptune is "Mr. Bad Luck," a Jimi Hendrix Experience track, produced by Chas Chandler during the 1967 Axis: Bold As Love sessions.
