NoteSorry guys, that's all the info I could get about this one. It is part of the famous Ross Hendrix Tapes ( I've included the
general info file that came with one of the better documented Ross Tapes, which I'll be posting in the near future). Tracks
01 thru 03 are ID'd as Jefferson Airplane, and the other tunes are obviously Jimi, although no tracklist is provided.

Anyways, if anyone out there can provide more detailed facts about this bootleg, please do. It would be most appreciated.

THE FOLLOWING INFO IS SOME GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ROSS TAPES, ESPECIALLY TAPES 2, 3, 6, & 7. IT WAS PROVIDED BY THE
ORIGINAL POSTER OF THOSE 4 TAPES, AND I INCLUDED IT HOPING IT WILL GIVE A FEW HINTS TO THE HENDRIX GURUS OUT THERE AND HELP
THEM FIGURE OUT THE DEAL WITH THIS BOOTLEG:



Not sure how to approach this but here goes.

These tapes are from Ross. He was known for low gen newly circulated genuine Jimi studio jams and concerts. His Maui tape
sounds like no other and the most aesthetic to my ears of all sources. The songs on most of his stuff is at the right speed. Not sure what gen his stuff is, but it sure sounds clean n neat n complete. These pre-date DAT tape too.

Now this oughta prove interesting.. My friend knew Ross better. He actually bought tapes from him, I didn't(except for Maui). He saw him several times. I had bad luck and didn't go to the conventions at the same time that he did. Since he only went in summer and every other month I guess. Anyway one day my friend tells me that Ross is switching to cdr from cassettes. At the same time bootleggers at conventions were getting squeezed by all the folks that could burn discs. The "real" silver bootleg cdeeze were drying up rapidly too. Anyway Ross made a final offer one summer by providing an 11 tape series of all his studio stuff. My friend only had enough money to buy 4 of them. He took #2, 3, 6, & 7. Shortly after buying these tapes Ross generally dissappeared from the scene.

These Torrents are right off the raw cassettes, no altering at all. Some will include a really short disc two ok.


I SURE WISH I HAD THE OTHER 7 TAPES! I like the sound.
