Il nostro suggerimento a Luglio era di prenotare questo un cofanetto deluxe con 39 tracce (38 delle quali inedite) registrate dalla Jimi Hendrix Experience (con Billy Cox al basso, Mitch Mitchell alla batteria) agli Electric Lady Studios tra Giugno e Agosto del 1970, poco prima della morte prematura di Jimi Hendrix il mese successivo. Ad accompagnare questo progetto imponente, pronto Jimi Hendrix’s New York: è un cortometraggio completamente nuovo e presentato da Steven Van Zandt (membro della Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, E Street Band, I Soprano, Little Steven’s Underground Garage), Jimi Hendrix’s New York racconta la storia dell’ascesa fulminea del musicista nato a Seattle negli anni ’60 e del suo trasferimento a Manhattan verso la fine del decennio.
