As with all reference works of this magnitude there are likely unintendederrors in spite of diligent efforts to be error free; corrections are encouraged. If you are aware of any upgrades,know of additional tracks that should be included, or have comments about the information presented here pleasecontact dchance@wustl.edu or jimipassiton@yahoogroups.com.This collection was assembled based on information contained at Doug Bell's website, which is compiledfrom several reference sources: http://home.earthlink.net/ ldouglasbell/jimi.htm. Further details were obtainedfrom Jimpress (2014-2015, From The Benjamin Franklin Studios, 4th edition): http://www.jimpress.co.uk/, UltimateHendrix (2009, Backbeat Books), Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyric Book (2012, Backbeat Books), In From TheStorm: http://infromthestorm.net/hendrix.html, and Discogs.com.All tracks are as they appear on their sources, though some sources are known to have utilizednormalization, pitch correction, etc. A few tracks have had beginning/ending dead silence removed and are sonoted, and track 127 has had a minor non-music patch. Four tracks are lossy and so noted. The track order isroughly from session takes to intermediate mixes to final and alternate mixes; complete versions precedeincomplete versions. The Jimpress numbers are listed at the beginning of the track title. The date format isdetermined by the recording location. The track times given are Bell’s timing of the music “from first note to last”,followed by the Jimpress timing (in parentheses), followed by the actual timing [in brackets] which often includesstudio chatter, etc.; n/a means not available. Tracks not sourced from official, ATM or FTO releases werecompared with sources available to me; there may be other sources for these tracks among collectors.Enormous thanks go to Doug Bell and Steve Rodham for their invaluable contributions; this set would nothave been possible without their assistance. Special thanks to Paul Fitzpatrick, Funkydrummer, FendersFingers,Big Time Bob Smith, Pete Harker, Mick Coyne, George Kanakaris, Mark J, Maury, Thomas Chapman and all thecollectors who have generously shared their recordings and information: http://crosstowntorrents.org/ n/info.– David Chance, June 2016“I believe you live and live again until you have got all the evil and hatred out of the soul.” – Jimi Hendrixpg. 1
