HENDRIX/BAND OF GYPSYS - STEPPING STONE
ORIGINAL US 45-RPM SINGLE
Unplayed Copy

These mixes do not officially appear on CD nor any other vinyl release.

01. Stepping Stone (4:11)
02. Izabella (2:50)

Producer: Heaven Research Unlimited (a.k.a. Jimi Hendrix)
Engineer: Jack Adams
Mastering: Robert Ludwig (his initials are on both sides of the deadwax)

Transfer and Restoration by Prof. Stoned

Prof. sez:

It's about time for a slice of seriously rare Hendrix.

This 45-rpm was released on April 8, 1970, shortly after the US release of the Band Of Gypsys album. For some strange reason, it failed to sell and was allegedly withdrawn after Hendrix expressed his dissatisfaction about the mix.

Contrary to popular belief, the original 45-rpm mix of Stepping Stone, as heard here, was NEVER used again for commercial release, unlike what Alan Douglas and John McDermott/Eddie Kramer tried to have you believe.

There are no less than 5 mixes of the A-side in existence, three of which have Buddy Miles’ original drum efforts. The mix that first appeared on the 1982 compilation 'Kiss the Sky', then on 1990’s Cornerstones, 2001's 'Voodoo Chile: The Collection’, and most recently the limited edition Singles Box Vol. 2, is NOT the 45 rpm mix, although it has Buddy's drums. And then, there's yet another vintage mix containing Buddy's drums, which can be found on the Warner Bros 1971 3-LP sampler ‘Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies’. This seems to be a much rougher mix that was never intended for release and has also never appeared elsewhere (see the other txt file for a weblink to a listening sample).

Exactly what was wrong with the 45 mix in Hendrix' view is hard to say. Hendrix would later revisit the multitrack of the A-side and have Mitch Mitchell overdub new drums, but apparently -according to John McDermott's 'Ultimate Hendrix' book, Buddy Miles’ efforts were not wiped from the tape. It's unknown when exactly the 'Kiss The Sky' mix was made, but it's 99.9% likely that it was made during the same mixdown session as the 45 version, as the mixes are very close with similar (though not entirely identical) stereo panning going on.

The mix on the B-side is also a rarity in that it was never used again. A 1971 remix of this track appeared on the album 'War Heroes’, but unlike Stepping Stone (which was remixed with Mitchell's drum part), this one still had its original drum part. But as with Stepping Stone, the version that did appear on 'Voodoo Chile: The Collection' and the limited edition Singles Box Vol. 2 is NOT the 45 rpm mix either, but at the same time is also nearly identical. Confusing, huh?

All credit for these findings must be given to Steve E. If you wanna learn the exact details and differences, read page 1 +5 of the following thread: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=146795 I have also collected his posts in a .txt file, included here for posterity.

This record came from a collection of unplayed stock copies, which I was lucky to find on eBay. It is in stunning near-mint condition and has only been played two times ever (by me, after cleaning, to make sure whatever dirt was still in the grooves would be picked up). The quality is breathtaking, as you might expect from an RL cut. Side A has some distortion, which I believe originates from the mastertape, as it can be heard on the other mix, as well.

Enjoy!

@ RYP,

It was around Christmas time quite a few years ago that I stumbled into TwilightZone and have made it my home and first go to everyday since. I tried to figure out when I started to come here and went back looking for hours to see if I would remember my first download from you, even though the memory is foggy I think it was The Plungers. Many new HDD's later nothings changed.

Merry Christmas to you and the whole TwilightZone Family, ronh1

I have seen the Hi-Risers many times. They have never failed to rock the house and get everyone moving. Just a great and versatile band. Too bad they all are in other bands now and rarely play away from Rochester with their reunions. Greta bunch of fellas as well.

Brause said...

Hi RYP,
Sitze hier gerade im Calgary Airport: 8 Uhr morgens, Flug mit Verspätung. Alles eingeschneit. Im Radio läuft doch glatt "Christmas at the Airport" von Nick Lowe. Burger im Abfallkübel gabs zwar keine, dafür aber einen ganz fiesen Bagel.

Frohe Weihnachten!

Merry Christmas everyone! RIP Rick Parfitt. Anyone have any unreleased or rare songs by him or Status Quo? Thanks!

THE BLACK JETTS - RIGHT ON SOUND (Dead Beat Records 2005) @320

Second album by this great R’n’R combo, based in Las Vegas but bearing a ragged, Detroit soul. If you are a fan of bands like the Paybacks, Detroit Cobras, Dirtbombs, and you also like Stones and Faces, you are going to dig this CD.
https://shop.dead-beat-records.com/products/db55

The impressive sophomore album from Las Vegas rock’n’roll heathens BLACK JETTS. A ten-track scorch-bomb of Detroit-meets-Sin-City sleaze, cranked with driving riffs, psych dabbling, Hammond B3 organ, and killer grooves. For fans of Saints, Mystery Girls, Radio Birdman, Stones, Reigning Sound, Radio Reelers, etc.
https://midheaven.com/item/right-on-sound-by-black-jetts-cd

MC5 are BACK!!! Or maybe it’s the Young Rascals…or Sugarloaf…or Spirit…or Rare Earth…Sod it, THE BLACK JETTS combine ‘em ALL, on one convenient CD called “Sever The Serpent’s Head Before It Strikes”…a slightly strange title for a CD packing so many good vibes. Roy Page’s and Gabe Stiff’s guitars are backed up by organs, piano and bongos, giving The Black Jetts a sound akin to Deep Purple, except the vocals aren’t the best. Still, you can’t be too critical of a guy who sings “Get Down”, “Let’s Get High On Love”, and “I’d Sooner Slit My Wrists (than make you sad)”. The Black Jetts do a great job of serving up positive, 70’s style acid rock. (4 out of 5 Crypts)—K.K.
http://www.cryptmagazine.com/98036/268694.html

A vast amount of comparisons with other bands. Now you have the chance to check it for yourself.

BURNING CONDORS - ROUND OUR WAY (Snakehand Records 2013) @320

…the London-based quartet are just days away from the release of their debut album Recorded entirely in Nashville, their Southern American influences are all too obvious. Burning Condors have already been labeled the leaders of a new generation of indie music, where deep blues notes and whiny rock and roll riffs play together in harmony. ‘Round Our Way’ is a relentless eleven track British-American collision.
‘Dirty Girl Blues’ opens the album with a punk, urban grunge and indie rock attack. With sounds of the Rolling Stones, energetic riffs and deep, high-pitched vocals seemingly blur together. As the layered chants of male vocals kick in near the end of the song, so to do country-style guitars, something Tennessee itself can take credit for influencing. You can hear Nashville in every chord of the song; oozing from every note. It can be heard even more strongly in ‘Killing Time,’ with Southern soulful blues taking over the sound completely. ‘Honey Trap’ will be the band’s debut single. It features an impressive guitar opening; with riffs that increase in passion until they stop completely, right before the vocals commence. The track has a raw quality, with angst-ridden vocals and has already received airplay in both American and Europe. Fun and upbeat rock and roll number ‘Bringing Back the Blues’ closes the album. There is a modern edge to this track, even though it has classic 1960’s and 70’s rock vibes. Harmonica notes give the song a wonderful blues quality and only highlights the American feel further. This is a merciless, unrelenting rock tune that will have you head banging along, should the moment strike.

Including a guest appearance by session legend Dave Roe (double bassist for Johnny Cash’s band Tennessee Three) and Col JD Wilkes from ‘Legendary Shack Shakers’ and ‘The Dirt Daubers’.

Hallo Brause
hier ist nix eingeschneit, im Gegenteil ca. 10°... aber den Nick an Weihnschten in Calgary Airport mit "Christmas at the airport" zu hören, da würde ich doch gerne mit Dir tauschen, oder zumindest neben Dir sitzen und auf den Flug in den Süden warten, ohne Bagel...

Just for info Jimmie Dee...The Filecloud link for the Jimi Hendrix album was either removed or didn't exist in the first place according to Filecloud, regards, Jay

Sorry about the fildcloud links. The filefactory links should work.

Someone requested "rare" Status Quo; here's one

Status Quo – Stockholm, Sweden 1971

Konserthuset, Stockholm, Sweden – November 24, 1971

Francis Rossi (guitar, vocals)
Rick Parfitt (guitar, vocals)
Alan Lancaster (bass, vocals)
John Coughlan (drums)
Bob Young (harmonica)

This recording is one of the best early live Status Quo recordings, both quality and performance. The show was specially recorded for broadcast on Swedish radio. An official CD release of this was going to be released back in the 1990s but was cancelled by the band as they were not happy with the performance. This is vintage Quo at its best, even if the band themselves did not like it.

1. Junior's Wailing (3:36)
2. Someone's Learning (8:00)
3. Umleitung (7:58)
4. In My chair (3:17)
5. Railroad (5:37)
6. Roadhouse Blues (8:08)

Artwork Included (front, back)

Thanks Crazy Legs for the bonanza of Quo music!!!!

paul said...

Someone broke into our car many years ago and stole the stereo. "Once We Get Started" was in the deck at the time, so we lost the disc. I think that was the bigger crime, since the stereo was replaceable. So this is appreciated.

@ RYP
Never heard of The Hi-risedr before you shared them. I've enjoyed all of their albums. Thanks for this another one.
