Jimi Hendrix - Capricorn Tape (2003) Ex Bootleg Studio Outtakes

(U.S 1967-70)
.
Here's one of my favourite Hendrix bootlegs of studio outtakes - mainly because the recording quality is excellent and it has a great track selection. This could pass as a Dagger Record release any day, in fact, these tracks were prepared and / or considered for the official release CDs ":Blues" and "Voodoo Soup". The 'Capricorn Tape' was first circulated in 2003 but the origin of its' name is unknown.

According to the "Voodoo Soup" liner notes by Michael Fairchild "the tape itself is a nine minute reel" recorded entirely by Jimi with him filling four of the tracks with drum overdubs.
Thus this version probably is the unedited complete take..
