专辑简介
First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, the last graceful gesture by the innovative artist Jimi Hendrix, is the first album prepared under the supervision of his family. It draws together 17 songs whose creation span from March 1968 to the last sessions at Electric Lady Studios in August, 1970. Produced from the original master recordings, First Rays Of The New Rising Sun has many of Hendrix's most creative musical achievements, including "Night Bird Flying," "Angel," "Dolly Dagger," "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)," and "In From The Storm."

First Rays of The Rising Sun [no label, 1CD]
Outtakes 1968-70 plus Drake Hotel Demo, New York City, NY Apr.1968 / Fillmore East, New York City, NY 01.01.70; 2nd Show. Released on bootleg LP, 1987.
“First Rays of The Rising Sun” or “First Rays of The New Rising Sun” was the title of the album that Jimi Hendrix was working on at the time of his death. There have been many bootleg LPs or CDs of that name, and this particular bootleg is a 1987 British vinyl LP from a nameless label, though it was probably pressed in Germany. This album has no relation to the proposed Hendrix LP, though at least it is well-pressed. “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” is the original undoctored 1968 mix with the original drumming (both officially released mixes have re-recorded drumming). “Peace in Mississippi” is an alternate mix of Alan Douglas’ “Crash Landing” doctored version. - Philip Cohen
Before Hendrix died in 1970, he was in the final stages of preparing what he intended to be a double studio LP, tentatively titled First Rays of the New Rising Sun. Most of the tracks intended for this LP were spread out over three posthumous single LP releases: The Cry of Love (1971), Rainbow Bridge (1971), and War Heroes (1972).

We never had an opportunity to listen to this rare vinyl bootleg, till we received a copy from Phil Cohen. Early Hendrix vinyl bootlegs are quite precious. Not only are they hard to find but they trump the official Alan Douglas posthumous releases as they were “as nature intended”, undoctored recordings of what Hendrix and the musicians played in the studio. Better still, this one sounds like it was taken from the master tape. The sound quality is very, very good. Clear and in stereo.
One superb gem is the final track here, Peace In Mississippi. This is the original, undoctored version. This was the sound that made thousands of young men and women want to play the electric guitar.
As this is NOT what Hendrix intended for his First Rays album, and no one really knows what he had in mind. This boot should be taken for what it is - a collection of unreleased studio recordings. All of the Alan Douglas posthumous releases that contained material intended for First Rays are out-of-print. Thanks Phil.
