SUMMER OF 75' JAM'SJuly 21, 2007 R. Hanks Jr.(florida) HOLY HELL!!!This album has a special place in my heart ,i took a road trip from FL-MAINE with my Grandparents in the summer of 75' and on the whole trip i listened to this thru a BIG MOUTH 8 TRACK PLAYER![WHO REMEMBERS THEM?]Anyway this was on continous loop pressed against my ear so as i would not disturb them all the way up the EAST COAST.All summer long this got played and i tryed my darndest to turn on my cousins and their AM radio listening freinds but they wouldn't have it!But back to the record itself,this is just a bunch of studio tracks that JIMI layed down between 69'-70' some are complete where others are not.My personel favorites are 'PETER GUNN'an odvious homage to JIMI'S childhood T.V. influences and the instrumentals'TAX FREE &'BEGININGS' also 'BLEEDING HEART' WITH IT'S AWESOME WAH PEDAL WORK IS ANOTHER 'KILLER' TRACK.Overall this is some of the best throwaway stuff that the 'NOTORIOUS'Alan Douglas put his hand into.Love him or hate him there is some good stuff from this period post JIMI'S passing but you just have to weed thru it.OF NOTE;'JAM 292 & BLUE SUEDE SHOES'later saw release in full form on 'THE BLUES'CD.So despite my childhood affection for this; on listening to it now i would say it is definately worth adding to your JIMI collection but i would not pay the outrageous prices that these sellers are asking;hell you can find it on cd for like $25-$30 dollars so save your money but definately search it out to hear some of JIMI's COOL BUT NOT MEANT FOR RELEASE STUDIO TRACKS!
