One from the Polydor "Flashback" serie. In this case reissue of a 1973 release, using same number, label, matrixes and almost same cover - only difference is while the original is branded "standard" this has "special". No big deal, the real question is - do I really need one more posthumous Hendrix album? In this case - probably yes! It comes on a major label and though the cover design could be somewhat more exciting, the audio is very good and track choice intriguing enough. Apart from the rather expected I get live versions of "Johnny B. Goode" (from the 1973 movie soundtrack) and "Power Of Love" (Band Of Gypsys), "The Drifters Escape" (also on the "Loose Ends" compilation) and "Izabella" (first figuring on "War Heroes" and also released on 45 in a couple of countries). It may not seem especially enthralling picking cuts from the already so looted estate for a compilation, but the ones here fits in just fine and sounds surprisingly leveled. In all very good listening and to me a lot more than the horse flogging many others fussed with at the time. This 1975 press also issued in Australia (Summit SG 043). UK had label as shown here and thin matt cover. (JHÄ*)
