A thoroughly researched collection that is anything but slap-dash. The detailed liner notes document the fascinating creative processes this virtuoso went through in his native element: the studio. Enlightening moments abound, such as an early instrumental version of ''Little Wing'' that has the basic rhythmic structure of ''Angel,'' which is also represented as a demo entitled ''Sweet Angel'' featuring Hendrix on all instruments.

This album also provides insight into the different musical roads Hendrix's muse led him down. John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins's influences can be felt in Hendrix's solo take on ''Midnight Lightning.'' The title track demonstrates an attempt to integrate horns into his sound, reflecting an unrealized desire to eventually head in more of a jazz direction.

Personnel: Jimi Hendrix (vocals, guitar, bass), Dave Mason (12-string guitar), Larry Lee (guitar), Noel Redding, Billy Cox (bass, background vocals), Buddy Miles (drums, percussion, background vocals), Mitch Mitchell (drums, background vocals), Larry Faucette, Juma Sultan, Jerry Velez, Brian Jones (percussion).

Recorded from July 9, 1967 to August 22, 1970.
