[Drumbo]

Noel Redding is missing on many of the tracks and sessions for "Electric Ladyland", Jimi's third album which featured two discs and dozens of personnel. Even though Jimi used Noel's song "Little Miss Strange" on the final project, Noel had grown weary of showing up at the Record Plant in New York for a 6:00 PM session only to have Jimi show up at 3:00 AM with an entourage of hangers-on. With the exception of "Voodoo Chile" which featured the Jefferson Airplane's Jack Cassidy on bass, Jimi overdubbed many of the bass parts himself. Noel Redding became enough of a malcontent that he eventually stopped showing up to sessions at all. He was eventually replaced in Band of Gypsys with Jimi's Army buddy Billy Cox.
