F.A.Q.
Who? Retired sound engineer who loves music from the 60's & early 70's.
What? My aim is to make rare stuff publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.
Monterey sounds fantastic!.. Never knew Hendrix played Summertime Blues live either, thanks for the share on this one! Think the Who’s version is still to beat
Thank you for blessing us with another Hendrix release. I agree with the first poster, if it's from Prof Stoned, it's worth listening to. Always top notch releases and very much appreciate all the time and effort that goes into these. Thank you, Prof.
With your creations, I always need a lot of coffee...to make sure I'm not dreaming! ;-) '67 and '70 are my favorite years when it comes to Jimi's tours...and finally, thanks to this, your Stages '67 compilation, you can hear it in its true, super-hot sound!
'Stockholm '67 FINALLY sounds like an Experience Performance and not (mix-wise) like a tame appearance on ZDF's Fernsehgarten...finally, you can hear Mitch's driving kick drums in 'Sgt. Pepper's'!!!
Thanks Prof! Many fragments only available (to me) on vintage bootlegs (Stockholm on Fruit End, Paris on double purple LP on the Dagger Label...great memories...)
So much awesomeness. So much effort. I'm holding onto this stuff because it's a treasure trove. Compared some early Beatles the other night. Original releases, official remixes and your remixes. Yours win. Thank you again.
Wow, not only do you get amazing results you have great ideas for what to do. Sounds really great. They have become really listenable rather than the hazy bootlegs I grew up on. Great work and appreciated as always. Does this also mean its going to be series of releases?
Prof., You made the summer even more beautiful. I first heard Jimi at age 10 in 1967, due to having an older sister that hung out with friends with extraordinary record collections, so lots of Hendrix gets played all summer. ... and here you are, creating Christmas in July again ! If I were a rich man, I would pay you to do nothing but put your hands to every project you desire !
Sorry for the double post, but a Firefox extension wouldn't let me post a comment using my Blogger account ... grrr... but I want those sweet notifications if anything gets an upgrade! Thanks again, Prof!
One odd thing came up when I converted the FLAC files to WAV to burn to a CDR - the MPEG test in Trader's Little Helper thinks that the Monterey show is MPEG with very high percentages - is this what you were expecting?
Kramer's a bit of a charlatan and should never be trusted at face value. Lots of off-speed releases and weird decisions. Keep in mind that he added stereo reverb and a little bit of channel twiddling to parts of the mono Paris shows and probably others, whenever Hendrix is doing one of those wild intros by himself or there is something dramatic happening. You can clearly see it and hear it if you extract the side channels, something Gordo the "expert" claims isn't true or possible.
True, but it can still be fixed. And I don't think Kramer is qualified or aware enough to do that. Similar story with Doors releases, several which could use Plangent or even a basic adjustment or something but Botnick doesn't even bother.
I see (hear) that you've changed the intro/outro to Foxy Lady and Purple Haze. The updated version has the intros connected to the outros of the previous tracks. I'm pleased, either way, just to have this great music. Some like the intro up front, while others prefer it at the end of the previous track. I suppose continuity figures in the decision-making, either way. Well, thanks for yet another great entry from the Prof Stoned library.

I download everything you post, because I figure if Prof Stoned is willing to apply himself to it, it's worth listening to! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteThanks Prof! Much appreciated as always.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I never knew I would want to listen to so many versions of "Wild Thing"; that is, until now.
ReplyDeleteSo much awesomeness. So much effort. I'm holding onto this stuff because it's a treasure trove. Compared some early Beatles the other night. Original releases, official remixes and your remixes. Yours win. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep finding them? Thanks for the work and sharing
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the new JHE! I can't wait to listen to it before I burn a few cds for friends! You da man, Prof.!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool project Prof, Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank - I am looking forward with eager anticipation to hearing your latest project.
ReplyDeleteJust made it through the BBC recordings .... and now "Stages" ... WOW ! Thank You for leading me into a Jimi revival ... I didn't know I needed it!
ReplyDeletethank you very much
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your very good works !
ReplyDeleteThanks for another wonderful gift! They never disappoint!
ReplyDeleteWow, not only do you get amazing results you have great ideas for what to do. Sounds really great. They have become really listenable rather than the hazy bootlegs I grew up on. Great work and appreciated as always. Does this also mean its going to be series of releases?
ReplyDeleteNope.

ReplyDelete... and here you are, creating Christmas in July again ! If I were a rich man, I would pay you to do nothing but put your hands to every project you desire !
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteProps to the Prof! Superb, as usual. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've been in a Purple Haze Burning the Midnight Lamp in Electric Ladyland with a Foxy Lady, May This Be Love; Prof: You've Got Me Floating...
ReplyDeleteYou're firing on all cylinders this summer, Prof! Thanks so much for a heaping helping of Hendrix from the year I was born!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the double post, but a Firefox extension wouldn't let me post a comment using my Blogger account ... grrr... but I want those sweet notifications if anything gets an upgrade! Thanks again, Prof!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteThis is amazing! Thank you so much Prof.
ReplyDeleteOne odd thing came up when I converted the FLAC files to WAV to burn to a CDR - the MPEG test in Trader's Little Helper thinks that the Monterey show is MPEG with very high percentages - is this what you were expecting?
It's lossless dude, just open in any audio editor. Probably the Brain Jones bit causing that.
DeleteThank you Prof, my first bootleg was the Sweden 1967, very nice to hear it again
ReplyDeletethank you Prof. Good job!
ReplyDeleteAwesome sauce, Professor! THANK YOU.
ReplyDeleteI still hold out hope that you will someday remix Are You Experienced!
Thank you for the Hendrix. These sound really great!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent. Thanks again mate
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thank you!
ReplyDeletemany thanks (again!!!!) for this, slainte!
ReplyDelete67 is my favorite year for jimi shows and this is like christmas, thank you as always for your wonderful and essential work
ReplyDeleteI assume 09.10.1967 is running one note too low comparing his guitar tuning with the other shows (and his voice is too low)?
ReplyDeleteUgh, I'm afraid you are correct. That'll teach me to trust Eddie Kramer.
DeleteKramer's a bit of a charlatan and should never be trusted at face value. Lots of off-speed releases and weird decisions. Keep in mind that he added stereo reverb and a little bit of channel twiddling to parts of the mono Paris shows and probably others, whenever Hendrix is doing one of those wild intros by himself or there is something dramatic happening. You can clearly see it and hear it if you extract the side channels, something Gordo the "expert" claims isn't true or possible.
DeleteTo be fair, the parts that are only on bootleg also ran slow. I think this may from an older digital transfer and that EH never had no tape.
DeleteTrue, but it can still be fixed. And I don't think Kramer is qualified or aware enough to do that. Similar story with Doors releases, several which could use Plangent or even a basic adjustment or something but Botnick doesn't even bother.
Deletev1.1: 13-08-2025 (speed corrected to Paris show with +0,5 semitones, that'll teach me for trusting Eddie Kramer/EH's quality control)
ReplyDeletethank you Prof!
ReplyDeleteThank you for everything! Great work!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update! The Spanish castle magic is in the details.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the upgrade (and the attention to detail)!
ReplyDeleteI see (hear) that you've changed the intro/outro to Foxy Lady and Purple Haze. The updated version has the intros connected to the outros of the previous tracks. I'm pleased, either way, just to have this great music. Some like the intro up front, while others prefer it at the end of the previous track.

ReplyDeleteThanks prof. The more Hendrix the better
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for curating these wonderful collections!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Prof!
ReplyDeleteI'm always shocked when I hear the difference in work without having the right equipment and tapes in the studio, like some sound engineers do.
ReplyDeleteSome people really do a sloppy job.
Luckily, Pof Stoned raises the bar ;-)
Amazing! Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly.
ReplyDeleteThank you yet again!
ReplyDeleteThank you prof!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for your work and generosity!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this. Just a first cursory lesson shows that this is great-sounding stuff!
ReplyDeleteThis is what I'll be listening to all Labor Day weekend - it sounds fantastic! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Profffff!
