JIMI HENDRIX DISCOGRAPHY - Neocities

JIMI HENDRIX DISCOGRAPHYupdated: 29 Mar 2020compiled by Douglas BellIntroduction and Acknowledgments:These listings were started in 1980 for my personal use, based primarily on the releases that I owned. In the intervening years,many important reference publications on Jimi's life and legacy have appeared. A few of those were drawn upon heavily asthese lists evolved, and now they contain a great deal of information that does not represent my work, but rather the work ofthe authors of those publications.This Discography and the companion Track List are distributed with the hope that they will be useful to some people in tryingto sort through all the various official and unofficial releases that exist, and also all the privately circulating recordings thathave not appeared on vinyl or factory-stamped CD. These documents are intended to be circulated freely and for free (not forprofit) and not to be published in any other form. Users should feel free to modify them for their own private use, but I wouldask that only the unmodified versions be circulated.Full credit is given to publications that have contributed substantially to these lists, and users should realize how great thosecontributions were. The following publications are gratefully acknowledged:Jimpress magazine - edited by Steve Rodham (periodical)From the Benjamin Franklin Studios, 4th Edition - Gary Geldeart & Steve Rodham (Jimpress, 2019)Plug Your Ears - Kees de Lange & Ben Valkhoff (Up from the Skies Unlimited, 1993)Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy - Harry Shapiro & Caesar Glebbeek (Heinemann, 1990)UniVibes magazine - edited by Caesar Glebbeek (periodical)I encourage all users to purchase these books and periodicals, as all contain material of great interest to those who appreciateJimi's music. The following websites contain purchase and subscription information:Jimpress: http://www.jimpress.co.ukUniVibes: http://www.univibes.com/In addition, many individuals have contributed information to these lists through private communications. This includes majorcontributions from Niko Bauer, David Chance, James Darby, Thomas Geneser, Hans-Peter Johnsen, Paul L'Anglais, ShinichiSato, Ben van Eck, Emil Vukov; but many others have also added content.IntroductionThis list is divided into 7 parts:1)Pre-Experience (singles and full-length releases) (P)A.

At the start (after this introduction) is a summary of all releases included in this list.This list includes all Jimi releases that I know of (except as noted below). Some of these I own, some I don't. I have includedsong timings (actual timings, not times listed on sleeves or CD index times) for the releases that I have.Releases are numbered separately in each major section. This numbering is purely arbitrary, but provides a handle for quicklysearching out a particular release. Generally, releases are arranged roughly chronologically (by recording date, not releasedate) in each section, although with studio releases this becomes problematic. Nonetheless, I find this scheme to be the mostuseful. Numbering uses a "P" prefix for Section 1, "E" for Section 2, "S" for Section 3, "G" for Section 4, "U" for Section 5,"T" for Section 6, and "V" for Section 7.An exception to this ordering is Section 3 (Singles), where releases are ordered by release date. In Section 1, the subcategories (by artist) are chronological, but within each sub-category the releases are listed by release date.For those who are accustomed to the release numbering in the Jimpress books (see below), I apologize. However, I haveadded, directly beneath the title of each release, the Jimpress release number or numbers. Note that my numbers are to the leftof the title, at the left margin. Please also note that all cross-referencing in the Track List uses my release numbers, not thoseof Jimpress. For releases appearing after the publication of From the Benjamin Franklin Studios, 4th edition, I use the releasenumbers from the regular issues of Jimpress.For each release I also list, to the right of the Jimpress release number(s), the page number(s) from Jimi Hendrix: ElectricGypsy on which the release is described. These page numbers refer to the discography section in the U.S. 2nd edition (St.Martin's Press), found on pp. 524-665. For later releases, I give instead the UniVibes issue number (a 2-digit number). Theseentries start with issue 18 and end with the current issue.So in summary, below most release titles in this discography will be found some numbers; numbers beginning with a letter areJimpress release numbers, and numbers without letter prefixes are Jimpress issue numbers (57-current), Electric Gypsy pagenumbers (3-digit numeric) or UniVibes issue numbers (18-current). Within this grouping of numbers, Jimpress data is to theleft and UniVibes data is to the right (when both exist; otherwise there is data only from one publication).Dates are in U.S. format (mm/dd/yy).Song titles are not always as given on packages. Bootlegs are notorious for inaccurate titles. I have tried to use consistent songtitles, and in some cases where more than one title is generally accepted ("Beginnings" / "Jam Back at the House," for instance)I have picked one according to personal preference. Most however are given primary titles in agreement with Jimpress, tomake comparison easier.Following each song name is a number in ( ); these are Jimpress index numbers as given in From the Benjamin FranklinStudios, 4th edition and The Studio Log, both published by Jimpress. Later index numbers as given in the regular issues ofJimpress are also included.Below the track listings for each release, there are recording details. For studio songs, that information is track-by-track. Forlive releases, there is often only a single description that applies to the entire release. Usually the track-by-track recordingdetails start with the index numbers from Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy by Shapiro and Glebbeek, continued in UniVibes byGlebbeek (where they exist). Studio recording information is according to the latest information we have; however, in manycases there is still some guesswork involved.In citing information by Glebbeek and Jimpress, I use the abbreviations "G and "J."Section 2 does not generally include official compilation releases, except for a few cases where some material had its firstrelease there. The same applies for "various artists" anthology releases. However, at the end of this section is an abbreviatedlisting of many of the compilation releases, and a few early anthology releases. This is far from a complete list, but i add morewhenever I run across them.Section 3 does not include pre-Experience singles (those are in Section 1), but does include a few various artists singles. I'msure this isn't a complete listing of all singles and EPs, but I'm trying to make it so, and new entries get added all the time.

Section 4 covers releases by other artists on which Jimi appears as a guest performer. Obviously the largest group of suchreleases are those containing pre-Experience material, but they are not included here since they are covered separately inSection 1.Section 5 (bootlegs and pirates) is as nearly complete as possible. I hope that I will eventually track down any omissions.Since new releases are continually appearing, there will always be some recent omissions.At the end of the bootleg releases (Section 5) is a listing of bootleg CD-R releases. These should probably be grouped withtapes, but I give them their own sub-section. In principle they are distinguished from private CD-Rs in that they are massproduced specifically for public sale, although I'm not sure all the listed titles fit this definition. I care little for bootleg CD-Rs,but they are listed for completenessSection 6 (Private CD-Rs and tapes) is a list of my own discs and tapes only. This is of less general use to others, but it isuseful to me (after all, this list is primarily for my own reference). These include most of the material in circulation, but therewill always be some omissions. This section includes material that I have on either tape or CD-R, except for those releases thatare classified as bootlegs in the previous section.Section 7 (videos) includes official releases and a couple of major unreleased videos. It's been awhile since this was updatedcompletely, so it's not a comprehensive list. Also, I do not include the many short clips (both sound and silent) that exist. Thatis the subject of another list! See the publication by Jimpress dealing with visual material, Look over Yonder, or a more up-todate version of this in From the Benjamin Franklin Studios, 4th Edition.
