More Jimi Hendrix Reissues On The Way
Expect a reissued South Saturn Delta and a DVD of the Band Of Gypsys Live At Fillmore East
A couple of Jimi Hendrix reissues are on their way this spring, including a brand new deluxe version of the award winning Live At Fillmore East DVD.
Originally released in 1997 South Saturn Delta was a compilation that pulled together previously unreleased material from across Hendrix's career. The new reissue doesn't add any extra tracks, but it will be released as a limited edition double 12" vinyl and will have comprehensive liner notes.
Perhaps more intriguingly, though, is the reissue of the Grammy Award winning Jimi Hendrix: Band of Gypsys (Live at Fillmore East) DVD.
This film features the only known footage of the Band Of Gypsys in concert. In addition to the documentary footage, the new Legacy edition premieres exclusive bonus material not found on previous versions including black & white video footage as well as stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes of the group's historic Fillmore East performance on New Year's Day 1970. The bonus footage includes "Foxey Lady" and rarely performed live versions of "Power Of Soul," "Stepping Stone" and "Who Knows."
The DVD is released on 11 April.
