Legacys unprecedented archival restoration of Jimi Hendrixs catalog continues with more treasures. Consisting of live material recorded at venues ranging from the Berkeley Community Theatre and the San Diego Sports Arena to the Isle of Wight Festival, Hendrix In The West captures the guitarist exploring new directions in sound during 1969-70. Robert Christgau, the Dean of American Rock Critics, called Hendrixs versions of Red House and Johnny B. Goode on this album definitive.
Out of print in the U.S. since 1974 and for more than two decades internationally, Hendrix In The West has remained one of the most requested albums by fans to return to the commercial marketplace. Mastered from the original sources and pressed on high-quality 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, and up to the same stellar standards as Legacys reissues of Hendrixs groundbreaking studio efforts, the record has never sounded or looked better.
The albums iconic cover features a classic Jim Marshall photograph of the guitarist, while a lavish booklet is filled with rare and previously unseen images captured by Marshalls distinctive lens. Moreover, listeners get to discover five previously unavailable bonus tracks that, believe it or not, add on to Hendrixs considerable legacy. In addition to the Chuck Berry cover, Hendrix also re-imagines the Beatles (Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band) and Carl Perkins (Blue Suede Shoes).
