I logged on to Spotify a couple days ago and was surprised to see a Jimi Hendrix album pop up in the new releases. Billboard has a decent article on what will allegedly be the "last" posthumous Jimi record.

I've listened to the first few tracks, and despite the fact that these songs were taken from rehearsal/jam sessions, they do sound surprisingly fleshed-out in places.

Nice, I'll have to check 'em out.   Hadn't even heard of this...   

Funny how even some of his vinyl was never released on CD or .mp3 or iTunes.  I love "Nine to the Universe", had to burn my own CD from the vinyl.  I'd buy a professional remaster if it were available, & I'm sure I'm not alone there. 

Found a track of this new release online:

Dogmatic attachment to the supposed merits of a particular structure hinders the search for an appropriate structure.
