I guess you have to order it from them, because I'm sure not seeing it in their stores.

I bought one for a friend in a Target store near my house.

This is not a new practice for Experience Hendrix.

Target should move the new Justin Timberlake to the back and put Jimi up front next to the checkout registers

Move over Justin and let Jimi take over....

That is a Target only exclusive version of the Hell People and Angels cd that includes a long piece formerly released (and still available) via Dagger Records.

I guess I have to go to Target!

Given that Target is a major donator to the Republican Party, I wonder if Jimi would have approved?

For those who don't feel like taking the trip to Target just pick up the Dagger Records release "Burning Desire" which features an hour of the Band Of Gypsys jamming in the studio (including the Target exclusive bonus track). Well worth purchasing the full thing.

I think I'd rather get that + the regular version of the new album.

Actually I was wrong above, it's a Walmart exclusive cd. Shawn is right, just get the Dagger cd that the bonus material comes from, it's great.

Yes, I'm a Jimi nut and I am always eager for another official release, and this one is even better than Valleys of Neptune.

No, I wouldn't go that far. But it is a nice release, overall.

[jazzbo]

I've already gone that far, I like it much better. More Billy. Who needs Noel.

[Shawn]

The best parts of VON are the Olympic Studios tracks from Feb 16 &17, 1969, right before they played Royal Albert Hall. Those performances are killer!

Sunshine Of Your Love

Lover Man

Fire

Red House

Two additional performances from those rehearsals were released in the "Experience" box set.

Spanish Castle Magic

Hear My Train A-Comin'

I want to mash the JH & Organissimo CDs together

"Both Sides of the Sky" arrived in the mail today. I like it, but it's a little rough in places and probably more interesting for 'complete-ists' than casual listeners.

There IS one outstanding and unexpected cut that's almost worth the price of the album alone - a 5+ minute version of "Woodstock," and Jimi doesn't sing OR play guitar! Stephen Stills sings and plays B3 (in a sort of Lee Michaels meets Larry Young style), Jimi plays BASS (at times with Jack Bruce ferocity), and Buddy Miles pushes the trio hard on drums. The last 1:45 is a pulsating jam. It's definitely NOT Joni's or CSN's version.

I like this new release. Bernie Grundman's mastering is just right.
