After seeing this over-priced on AMAZON in the past few years, I am extremely happy to have it. Some reviews of Midnight Lightning say that the album sucks because of over-dubbing after Jimi died. What the heck are these people talking about? Why does that make a difference? I own just about every thing Hendix did and this makes my collection complete, except for "In The West", which is on the way now. Both of these albums are fantastic (IMO), and will be listened to often. I had them both years ago on vinyl and count them as a essential to my 60's & 70's rock and roll collection.

That's right. And I have it!Jimi Hendrix: An Illustrated Experience Music afficionados that truly appreciate Jimi's music know that everything that exists on both "Crash Landing" and Midnight Lightning" were recorded in the summer of 1970 by Jimi in his newly opened Greenich Village, N.Y.C. Studio. Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix I have listened to these outtakes, and believe it or not, still have them on cassette! They are harsh, unrefined, and unmelodic! Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight Juxtaposed with what Alan Douglas put out, the tracks sound sharp, polished, and have a sound all of it's own. Jimi Hendrix: The Intimate Story of a Betrayed Musical LegendYes, it's all Hendrix, with a cleaner sound! The guitar leads in Midnight Lightning is ALL Hendrix, all undoctored, and only assisting leads, and improved bass of some very talented musicians that I am sure Jimi would of approved of are blended in! This is classic Hendrix, right up there with "Rainbox Bridge" and "The Cry of Love! This is equally true in "Crash Landing! In fact, the signature song (same as the album cover) rates as one of Jimi's most intense, raging guitar attacks rating right up there with his scorching lead in "Voodoo Child, Slight Return" Electric Ladyland, and Midnight" War Heroes. This is a double Hendrix treat not to be missed!

Even if you have no qualms with the dubious nature of these posthumous frankenstein-ed records the fact is that their sound quality is horrible. I bought these on cassette in my teens and the sound is thin, cold and lame. Alan Douglas is no music producer. The tone of these records is harsh, the instrumentation is limp and uninspired. You will even hear the occasional disco rhythm played on the hi-hat cymbals. These albums were bad ideas to begin with and their sound quality reflects that all too plainly....AVOID!
