BACKTRACK 3 - WHO/HENDRIX 2407 003 (-70) UK

First two in the Backtrack serie had a number of rare cuts from known groups and others from odd artists. This doesn't look as exciting at first glance. All tracks had previously been on original LP:s or compilations. Still for the out-and-out fans of the groups or those captivated by rock history it has a few interesting features. All cuts on it are true stereo, or at least claimed to be - I've listened closely and guarantee all but one or two not clear enough to distinguish. On the Hendrix side "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze" and "The Wind Cries Mary" uses the US Reprise versions, I'm not sure where the rest comes from. The Who numbers are earlier unreleased stereo versions on LP for the first time. A few of them differs from the monos. I especially like "Disguises", "Run Run Run" and "I'm A Boy" on here - even if it's the same crappy original recordings, the stereo mixes are more revealing. Not issued in US. First UK had matt label as shown here and thin glossy cover. (XXÖ*) (SÄM*)(WÖH*)(JHÄ*)(TRÄC*)
