SUNDAZED AND EXPERIENCE HENDRIX RECAPTURE THE JIMI HENDRIX VINYL EXPERIENCE! ROCK'S GREATEST GUITAR LEGEND'S VINTAGE RECORDINGS RETURN TO THEIR VINYL ROOTS WITH HISTORIC 7' SINGLE SERIES
In an historic alliance, the renowned reissue label Sundazed Music has partnered with Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. to release a series of new 7" picture-sleeve vinyl singles featuring unique and hard-to-find vintage performances by Jimi Hendrix.
The ongoing series launches in April with an initial release that combines a pair of historically significant recordings from two different Hendrix 1967 BBC sessions. One is a raucous reading of Bob Dylan's "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?'. Hendrix recorded his version on October 17 for BBC Radio's Rhythm and Blues show. Dylan's original version, one of history's most notable and enduring musical enigmas, wasn't released on a legitimate album for more than 10 years after its first issue. This Jimi Hendrix Experience version was a highlight of the BBC Sessions double album issued by Experience Hendrix/Sony Legacy in October 2010.
'Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?' is paired with a fascinating, newly discovered take of the Hendrix original "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp," as performed on August 24,1967 on BBC Television's Top of the Pops, just a week after the song's original studio version had been released as a single in Britain on Track Records. In keeping with strict Musician Union regulations, Jimi was to sing live atop the song's instrumental backing track. The Top Of The Pops presenter announced the Experience, but then 'The House That Jack Built' by the Alan Price Set began to play. A few seconds in, Jimi, ever polite, offered an apology, 'I'm sorry man but I don't know the words...' As panic no doubt ensued within the studio's control room, the program's flustered presenter apologized and implored Jimi to try it once again.
Both sides feature the classic original Jimi Hendrix Experience lineup of Hendrix on guitar and vocals, Noel Redding on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums, and capture the band just as it was beginning to emerge as a major force on both sides of the Atlantic.
As with every release in the series, it will feature a color picture sleeve incorporating rare vintage Hendrix photos that capture the legendary artist's distinctive persona and pioneering spirit. Janie Hendrix, President and CEO of Experience Hendrix L.L.C. commented: "When the Jimi Hendrix Experience first burst into the world's collective consciousness, it was through vinyl 45 rpm singles. Our vinyl single release program with Sundazed honors that brilliant history and, even expands on it in a very real way. It is traditional yet innovative, as Jimi certainly was."
Bob Irwin, President and CEO of Sundazed Music, Inc. commented: "We are thrilled and highly honored to be partnering with Experience Hendrix on this wonderful series. I'm positively elated that my most favorite musician of all time will now be a part of Sundazed."
In a recording career that spanned only three and a half years prior to his tragic death in 1970 at the age of 27, Jimi Hendrix revolutionized the role of the electric guitar, and radically altered the face of contemporary music. He became rock's first guitar superstar, with an effortless charisma that matched his visionary talent and intense performing style. His overwhelming influence continues to live on in virtually every electric guitarist who has followed him, yet none have ever equaled Hendrix's talent and imagination.

As a part of its daily operations, under President and CEO Janie Hendrix, Experience Hendrix and Authentic Hendrix oversee Jimi's timeless legacy on a worldwide basis. In connection with its mission, it produces the continuing Experience Hendrix tour of all-star musicians.
A newly-found version of the Jimi Hendrix song "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp," performed on August 24,1967 for the BBC Television's Top of the Pops, just a week after the song's original studio version had been released as a single in Britain on Track Records, will be released as a vinyl 45 RPM disc.
The recording will be issued in a partnership between Sundazed Music and Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. It will be the first issue to be released in a series of Hendrix 7-inch discs. The A sides will be comprised of live Hendrix performances that are difficult to find.
Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" will be the flip side. The famed guitarist recorded this take of the cover version on October 17 for BBC Radio's Rhythm and Blues show. Ironically, Dylan's original version was not released on a legitimate album for more than 10 years subsequent to Hendrix's first issue of the song. This Jimi Hendrix Experience version was a highlight of the BBC Sessions double album issued by Experience Hendrix/Sony Legacy in October 2010.
Forced to play under the Musician Union strict regulations, Hendrix was to sing live over the song's instrumental backing track. The Top Of The Pops presenter announced the Experience, but then 'The House That Jack Built' by the Alan Price Set began to play. A few seconds in, the ever gentlemanlike Hendrix offered an apology, saying, 'I'm sorry man but I don't know the words...' As panic no doubt ensued within the studio's control room, the program's nervous presenter apologized and asked Jimi to try it once again.
Both tracks showcase the original Jimi Hendrix Experience, with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. Each 45 rpm disc in the series will have a color sleeve with a rare Hendrix photo.
Janie Hendrix, President and CEO of Experience Hendrix L.L.C., issued a statement about the releases, remembering, 'When the Jimi Hendrix Experience first burst into the world's collective consciousness, it was through vinyl 45 rpm singles. Our vinyl single release program with Sundazed honors that brilliant history and, even expands on it in a very real way. It is traditional yet innovative, as Jimi certainly was.'
Bob Irwin, President and CEO of Sundazed Music, Inc. commented: 'We are thrilled and highly honored to be partnering with Experience Hendrix on this wonderful series. I'm positively elated that my most favorite musician of all time will now be a part of Sundazed.'
With a recording career that was cut short after just three and a half years, as a result of his tragic death in 1970 at the age of 27 in England, Hendrix expanded the limits of guitar playing, technologically, sound-wise and when it comes to composition. Decades later, his prowess on guitar and legendary performances are unequalled.
Sundazed Music is driven by its mission for the preservation of vintage rock, garage, soul, surf, R&B and country recordings on vinyl, CD and digital download. The label's catalog has more than 800 titles, including classic recordings by such artists as Jeff Beck, Booker T. & the MGs, The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Albert King, Wes Montgomery, Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Velvet Underground and hundreds more.

"Wem gehört die Popgeschichte?" Das Audio-Book mit 6 CDs von Gerd Gebhardt und Jürgen Stark
Beschreibung
Popgeschichte ist mehr als eine Aufzählung der Namen großer Künstler mit ihren größten Hits, fatalsten Flops und peinlichsten Ausrutschern. Sie zeigt in einer weit gefassten Perspektive auch die (kultur-) politischen und gesellschaftlichen Zeitumstände auf, unter denen die Popularmusik sich entwickelt und verändert. Die Autoren erläutern jedoch auch, wie sehr außermusikalische Einflüsse sich dort auswirken, wo sich Trends und Bewegungen in der Popmusik länder- und systemübergreifend annähern oder auseinanderdividieren. Wenngleich also die Künstler, die Bands und ihre Musik im Mittelpunkt der Darstellung stehen, bleiben stets auch die 'Begleitschwingungen' im Blick - vom gesellschaftlichen Stellenwert einer sinnvollen Musikerziehung bis hin zum dramatischen Wandel des Musikmarkts mit seinen Folgen für eine Popkultur der Zukunft.
Das Buch beschäftigt sich also mit Brücken und Brüchen in der Popgeschichte. Es zeigt Stillstand und Bewegung in den Zeitläufen, die die Popkultur nicht nur in Deutschland flankierten. Indem die Autoren auch sehr persönliche Erlebnisse und Begegnungen einfließen lassen, wird ihr Buch zugleich auch zu einem Stück erlebter Popgeschichte!
