A new Jimi Hendrix album featuring a host of unreleased studio material is to be released on March 8.

Tracks featured on "Valleys Of Neptune", which is produced by Hendrix's stepsister Janie, along with John McDermott and Eddie Kramer, include covers of Cream's "Sunshine Of Your Love" and Elmore James' "Bleeding Heart".

The original version of The Jimi Hendrix Experience rendition of "Hear My Train A Comin'", along with alternate cuts of "Ships Passing Through The Night" and "Lullaby For The Summer" are also included on the album, which was recorded at several studios in London and the US between 1968 and 1970.

Janie Hendrix said that the album offers a "deep insight into [Jimi's] mastery of the recording process and demonstrates the fact that he was as unparalleled a recording innovator as he was a guitarist."

The tracklisting for "Valleys Of Neptune" is:

01. Stone Free
02. Valleys Of Neptune
03. Bleeding Heart
04. Hear My Train A Comin'
05. Mr. Bad Luck
06. Sunshine Of Your Love
07. Lover Man
08. Ships Passing Through The Night
09. Fire
10. Red House
11. Lullaby For The Summer
12. Crying Blue Rain

    The Hendrix family has been milking Jimi's name for years now. This is just another example...just look at the number of reissues and ridiculous merchandise that we've seen marketed in the last few years.

    They continue to do this because people eat it up so why not, you or I don't have to buy.

    Indeed....In the article I read they were planning on reissuing Woodstock again. I just bought the newly reissued 3lp for the 40th anniversary of the festival, and I'm pretty sure they've released his performance on Bluray.

    I thought Hendrix's family don't get any money from his music that it was all owned by the record company. Im sure i saw a documentary years ago to this effect :?:
