Jimi Hendrix - Valleys of Neptune

12 previously unreleased studio recordings.

Sony will launch their monumental 2010 Jimi Hendrix Catalogue Project on Monday, March 8, with the release of Valleys of Neptune, a newly curated album of 12 stunning studio recordings.  This collector’s item contains more than 60 minutes of music never commercially available on a Jimi Hendrix album.

Centred around tracks recorded during a pivotal and turbulent four-month period in 1969, Valleys of Neptune unveils the original Jimi Hendrix Experience's final studio recordings.  Here the group lays down the foundation for its follow-up to Electric Ladyland, alongside the guitar superhero's first sessions with bassist Billy Cox, an old army buddy he'd recruited into his new ensemble.
