Jimi Hendrix

A compilation of previously unreleased Jimi Hendrix recordings is to be released in March as the first album in the catchily-titled '2010 Jimi Hendrix Catalog Project', a joint venture between Legacy Recordings and the late guitarist's estate.

Due out on 8 Mar, 'Valleys Of Neptune' will feature various tracks recorded between 1968 and 1970, including alternative versions of 'Fire' and 'Red House', the original versions of which appeared on The Jimi Hendrix Experience's debut album, 'Are You Experienced?'. There are also covers of Cream's 'Sunshine Of Your Love' and Elmore James's 'Bleeding Heart'. The title track will be released as a single on 1 Feb.

Of the release, Hendrix's stepsister Janie, who produced the album and manages his estate, says: "My brother Jimi was at home in the studio. 'Valleys Of Neptune' offers deep insight into his mastery of the recording process and demonstrates the fact that he was as unparalleled a recording innovator as he was a guitarist. His brilliance shines through on every one of these precious tracks".
