[Drumbo]

Here's a rare Jimi track recorded at Mayfair Studios in London on July 19, 1967. It never made it to release until just recently when the Hendrix estate were convinced to put it on South Saturn Delta under the Experience Hendrix, LLC. label.

The structure is curious. Jimi obviously put a lot of thought into the first minute of the composition, never quite finding the hook (which is none-the-less there as a transition at the 42 second mark), it remained ultimately unfinished, devolving into an almost 4 minute "outro" jam which reminds me of mylife's VFW report. (he-he)

A version of the lick that leads into the outro did ultimately see life as the repetitious wah-wah hook to the popular theme of professional wrestling's nWo group featuring Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash throughout the 1990s and 2000s in what was one of wrestling's most popular and enduring story lines, so in a way, 10 seconds of this song did see massive popularity.

As years go by, more and more unfinished "vault classics" are coming to light which attest to the unfathomable output of Jimi's brief three and a half year career as a solo artist.
