Uma nova série de lançamentos e relançamentos de Jimi Hendrix está a caminho e a data de lançamento prevista é dia 2 de novembro.
O grande lançamento dessa série, o box-set "West Coast Seattle Boy: The Jimi Hendrix Anthology", teve maiores detalhes revelados no site Amazon, além de seu tracklist.
A intenção dessa nova caixa é mostrar como Hendrix evoluiu desde um músico acompanhante até uma estrela de fama internacional. Justamente por isso, o 1º CD consta apenas de fonogramas em que Hendrix acompanhou artistas de R&B como: The Isley Brothers, Little Richard, entre outros.
Os outros 3 CDs contém gravações que vão de 1967 a 1970, com o Experience (em suas duas formações) e também a Band of Gypsys, material ao vivo e em estúdio, incluindo material nunca antes lançado (ou mesmo pirateado) e músicas inéditas. Há faixas para todos os gostos: versões alternativas (May This Be Love, Fire, Castles Made of Sand, etc...), demos caseiras (Long Hot Summer Night, Angel, e até mesmo tocando Tears of Rage de Bob Dylan), ao vivo (Stone Free, Foxey Lady, etc...) e músicas inéditas (Bolero, Hear My Freedom, All God's Children, Lonely Avenue, etc...).
E para os fãs do rock em geral, colaborações há muito pirateadas que enfim virão à tona: "Little One", uma gravação de 1967 em que Hendrix toca com Dave Mason do Traffic e com cítara de Brian Jones dosROLLING STONES, e "Everlasting First" em colaboração com Arthur Lee & Love. Mas não só para os fãs de rock: Hendrix fleta com o jazz em uma improvisação com o famoso organista Larry Young.
Além do mais, vem como bônus 1 DVD com o documentário "Voodoo Child", com a história de Hendrix em suas proprias palavras em 90 minutos, incluindo imagens ao vivo, além de material inédito em vídeo e fotos.
