"To me, it’s everything I want a recording to sound like. I want to be able to play it loud and to feel it. And with headroom — no noise. You don’t want to turn it down. With this recording you can crank it up and not hurt your ears. You talk about a treat for the world! A newly-released Hendrix album 42 years after he died. These are not outtakes, demos or amateur concert recordings. This is a great recording of great music and will blow you away!" - Chad Kassem, Acoustic Sounds CEO, upon listening to the freshly pressed test pressing from Quality Record Pressings
Jimi Hendrix's People, Hell & Angels — numbered edition double LP
12 previously unreleased Hendrix tracks recorded from 1968-70
Pressed at Quality Record Pressings on 200-gram vinyl
Showcases Hendrix working outside of the original Hendrix Experience trio. Some of Hendrix's finest guitar work ever released!
See all of QRP's pressings of Legacy's unprecedented archival restoration of Jimi Hendrix's catalog
Quality Record Pressings is proud and excited to be part of Experience Hendrix LLC and Legacy Recording's production of People, Hell & Angels, an essential new album premiering 12 previously unreleased studio recordings by legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Now available as a 200-gram double LP.
People, Hell & Angels showcases the legendary guitarist working outside of the original Jimi Hendrix Experience trio. Beginning in 1968, Jimi Hendrix grew restless, eager to develop new material with old friends and new ensembles. Outside the view of a massive audience that had established the Experience as rock's largest grossing concert act and simultaneously placed two of his albums in the US Top 10 sales chart, Jimi was busy working behind the scenes to craft his next musical statement.
These 12 recordings encompass a variety of unique sounds and styles using many of the elements — Hendrix toys with horns, keyboards, percussion and second guitar — that Jimi wanted to incorporate within his new music. People, Hell & Angels presents some of the finest Jimi Hendrix guitar work ever issued and provides a compelling window into his growth as a songwriter, musician and producer.
The tracks on People, Hell and Angels originally were planned to serve as a follow-up to Hendrix's 1968 album Electric Ladyland. Hendrix's death in 1970 prohibited him from releasing the tracks featured on this poshumous album. Hendrix would have turned 70 on November 27, 2012.
The dozen previously unreleased Jimi Hendrix performances premiering on People, Hell & Angels include "Earth Blues," "Somewhere," "Hear My Train A Comin'," "Bleeding Heart," "Baby Let Me Move You," "Izabella," "Easy Blues," "Crash Landing," "Inside Out," "Hey Gypsy Boy," "Mojo Man" and "Villanova Junction Blues."
With an album title coined by Hendrix, People, Hell & Angels reveals some of Hendrix's post-Experience ambitions and directions as he worked with new musicians — including the Buffalo Springfield's Stephen Stills, drummer Buddy Miles, Billy Cox (with whom Hendrix had served in the 101st US Army Airborne and later played on the famed R & B 'chitlin circuit' together) and others — creating fresh and exciting sounds for the next chapter in his extraordinary career.
"In ‘68 and ‘69, Jimi was in the studio constantly," recalls his former sound manager, Eddie Kramer. "His whole life was in the studio."
The track titled "Somewhere," — featuring Stephen Stills and drummer Buddy Miles — displays a particularly bold usage of Hendrix's soulful guitar squall. "That's a fantastic example of Jimi's amazing control of the wah-wah [pedal], the tone of the wah-wah - how that affects the whole song," Kramer tells Rolling Stone.
People, Hell & Angels is co-produced by Janie Hendrix, Kramer and John McDermott. Kramer first met Jimi at Olympic Studios in London in January 1967. Hendrix developed a unique rapport with Kramer. As a result, Kramer engineered every album issued by the guitarist in his lifetime and recorded such famous Hendrix concerts as the Woodstock festival in August 1969. Since 1997, Kramer has teamed with Janie Hendrix (Jimi's stepsister) and John McDermott to oversee the release of each Jimi Hendrix album issued by Experience Hendrix.
Says Gary Salstrom, QRP's general manager and master lacquer plating technician, plating and pressng the new Hendrix LP is both an honor and a treat.
"I'm excited about that one. I think it's fascinating that they've got so many releases to put out. Stuff we've never heard before," Salstrom says. He's plated and pressed LPs at QRP for The Doors, Lyle Lovett and Norah Jones, but the historical aspect of this new release, and the profile of Hendrix is a special thrill.
"When you can get historical (material), those are certain ones you get more excited about," he says. "You can't get too much higher profile than (Jimi Hendrix)."
Lastly, as Rolling Stone notes, the album artwork is simple, yet as distinct as Hendrix's signature guitar wails. Be experienced yet again.
