ID no. 9006850 Title: The Experience Sessions Test Pressing Artist: Noel Redding Product Condition: SS Cover Condition: VG+ Description:  This auction is for a STILL SEALED single LP Test Pressing marked (A/B) of the Classic Records 200gram reissue of Noel Redding's " The Experience Sessions" with jacket. This highly collectible test pressing is from the first stamper and less than 20 exist. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value and store of value. The Experience Sessions presents a collection of rare and previously unreleased studio recordings made by Redding during his two-and-threequarter-year tenure with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and also contains the master takes of his two stand-out original compositions, Electric LadylandLittle Miss Strange and Axis: Bold As Love. Previously unreleased alternate recordings of these two essential tracks are included, offering fascinating insight into the inner-workings of the group in the studio. This disc is also a cause for celebration simply for the fact that three of the tracks, the previously unissued Nothing Wrong Noel's Tune [Take  plus an out-of-print live rendition of Red House, feature blistering guitar work from Jimi Hendrix. The basic rhythm track of the album opener, There Aint Nothing Wrong, was recorded December 28, 1967 by Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell, and Traffic guitarist Dave Mason during the Electric Ladyland sessions, and it is a thrill to hear previously unearthed examples of Jimis genius during this highly creative period for himself and the band. This recording is particularly unique in that Noel, under the direction of former Jimi Hendrix Experience producer Chas Chandler in 1989, composed lyrics, recorded a lead vocal, and added new bass parts to this previously unissued Jimi Hendrix session. Noel s Tune [Take1], recorded days after the Experiences historic February 24, 1969 performance at London s Royal Albert Hall, is a rave-up rocker featuring Noel pounding away on funky rhythm guitar while Jimi adds appropriately intense guitar work. Red House recorded live at the Olympia Theater in Paris on January 29, 1968, is a rare example of Noel recreating the studio take by forgoing the use of the bass in favor of bass-heavy rhythm guitar; Jimi s playing on this high-energy track is simply spectacular. It was in the aftermath of the release of Axis: Bold As Love that Noel began to develop new solo material in earnest. Noel Redding: The Experience Sessions presents the much sought-after unreleased tracks Dream and Walking Through the Garden, both of which feature Noel on guitar and Jimi on bass, plus a previously unissued demo of How Can I Live? Noel would later re-record the song without Hendrix and include the new version as part of his first post-Experience release, Fat Mattress. Jacket in very good condition.
