Jimi Hendrix plays Other People's Songs

Jimi Hendrix plays O.P.S.

[Jimi Hendrix plays Other People's Songs]



This is a compilation I made for my own enjoyment of a lot of the covers Jimi played throughout his career. Since its not really bad I thought I'd torrent it here. There's scores of people who have all this material and this torrent might be more interesting to the casual Hendrix fan who's just started collecting, maybe not. 

There are enough Other People's Songs to fill a big multidisc compilation but this should be a nice appetizer to start collecting Hendrix :-)

Soundquality ranges from good-enough to just-brilliant.


Please note that Extreme Care has been taken not to include any officially released or OOP material. Some selections are available from other dates/gigs but they are officially released. The stuff in this torrent is NOT to be found on any official or OOP release.
