First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, initially released in April 1997, stands as the inaugural album crafted under the direct oversight of the Hendrix Family.
Featuring seventeen tracks spanning from March 1968 to Jimi’s final sessions at Electric Lady Studios in August 1970, this album represents Jimi Hendrix’s last profound contribution to music.
Highlighting tracks like “Dolly Dagger,” “Angel,” “Ezy Rider,” and “Freedom,” this new release offers an all-analog edition, mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original 1/4″ mixes, and pressed on 150-gram black vinyl.
