Label: Rock Folders (bootleg)
Vinyl: Standard black vinyl
I have a good amount of legit Hendrix releases, and one semi-legal one (that infamous Woke Up One Morning And Found Myself Dead album that features a drunken Jim Morrisson howling atonally about anal sex), but this is my first ever Hendrix vinyl bootleg. Pretty good sound despite its varied origins. First side (tracks 1-6) is a selection from a Dutch radio session and studio outtakes from 1967-1968 and the second side (tracks 7-10) is live material from the concert that resulted in his Rainbow Bridge movie.
The title comes from a comment Jimi makes to producer Ed Chalpin before attempting the first take of "Gloomy Monday", as heard on this record.
And look, Mom - a track listing and a zip file (320 kbps, iTunes compatible gapless mp3s)!

Here's a link to the sound files for the curious. I ripped these primarily for my own use (flowing to CD-R and iPod) and the link will only be active for the next two weeks because I don't want to offend the Hendrix estate.
