Jimi Hendrix & Love - Blue Thumb Acetate 1970 VBRak

An acetate of Jimi at a 1970 session with Love, surfaced awhile ago on Ebay (July 2009. Ending price: US $2,025) and is now in circulation.

The session took place at Olympic Studios in London (March 17th, 1970). The first track is an early mix of the track that opened the Love album "False Start". Jimi puts in some vocals on the two brief and raggedy takes of "Ezy Ryder". Finally there is a nice ten minute jam with all concerned where Jimi exchanges solos and riffs with Gary Rowles.
Invited by Love's Arthur Lee to contribute to his band's album, Hendrix returned to Olympic Studios, the recording facility where he had recorded Are You Experienced and Axis: Bold As Love. Hendrix joined Love in recording "The Everlasting First", which came out in December of 1970 as part of Love's False Start. The three musicians recorded sixteen takes of before a basic track met Lee's approval. Two clean, complete takes of Hendrix's own "Ezy Rider" followed next. Hendrix then took part in an extended instrumental jam session before departing.
