Is It The End Of Time Or Just Tomorrow?


On 26th February 2022, I posted a mixtape of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, recorded in 1990 and featuring a selection of tracks from the superb double vinyl compilation, Radio One, released the previous year.

Three years on from that post, and nearly thirty five years on from that mixtape, here are a dozen more classics from Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding.

This time, it's a mix of radio and studio recordings, with no duplication of songs from the previous mixtape. Apart from Little Miss Lover, that it, but this time I've included the album version rather than radio session.

The selection opens with a version of Drivin' South from the Radio One collection, as a belated thank you to Martin for recently achieving 20 years with the excellent New Amusements blog. I only discovered New Amusements in 2020, but it's been a must visit and a continual source of inspiration ever since

Martin shared his love for this version of Drivin' South in a comment on my previous post. It took three years, but I finally delivered. Thanks, Martin!

  2. Drivin' South, brilliant! As is the mix, that's my morning's listening sorted. And cheers for the nod, Khayem, much appreciated.

    1. My pleasure, Martin. Sorry for catching on to New Amusements a decade and a half late, but very glad that I found it!

  3. This is excellent, every few years I gravitate back towards Hendrix and just last weekend my wife and I shared our mutual love for "May this be love?" Happy to see that is your closing track here. Thank you Khayem!

  4. Loved that BBC sessions album, bought it in 89 and played it to death.

    1. I literally wore out my vinyl copy of Radio One, so it was great to discover the 2CD compilation of BBC Sessions many years later.
