F.A.Q.
Who?
I have a turntable and a nice record collection, mostly LP's from the 60's & early 70's.
What?
My aim is to make rare stuff (in glorious mono or sometimes stereo) publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.
Requests?
Generally, no. I select my projects very critically. Vinyl condition is everything. I tend not to work with records that are in less than pristine condition.
Donations?

Brilliant as always Prof., really looking forward to digging into this gem
Prof,
You & JWB make a "killer" team when it comes to creating compilations. As always, I can't begin to express how grateful I am to be able to experience the BBC tracks in top notice fidelity.
Thanks again to you & JWB !!!
Thanks Prof. Stoned! It sounds great. Rock on!
Many thanks!
Thanks very much! Really appreciate all you good work and great music!
Thank you sir - much appreciated
Way cool!! Thank you.
�� Thank you for the Music,
07. Killing Floor
08. Fire
09. 'Electronic Excitement'
10. Purple Haze
Recorded: BBC Broadcasting House, London, UK; Tuesday 28 March 1967
Broadcast: BBC Radio 'Top Gear'; 1 April 1967
Host: Brian Matthews
Producer: Bill Bebb
More likely to be John Peel rather than Brian Matthew (not Matthews)
Thx so much!
Wow! I didn't know that 2nd gen tapes were used. I love Jimi's BBC sessions and this will be a treat. Many thanks Prof.!
Thank You
>More likely to be John Peel rather than Brian Matthew (not Matthews).
Nope, it's Brian Matthew talking.
>I didn't know that 2nd gen tapes were used.
Worse though, nearly everything on the EH is in fake stereo with added reverb.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Very special work. Most appreciated. Did I write thank you?
Yours
dr blues.
Hi and thanks!
Beautifully done prof! And big thanks to JWB!
Thanks for the better sounding BBC recordings!
Wow! This looks great! Aside from the great sounds, I always appreciate the research and background info that you provide with your releases. Can't wait to crank it up.

Wow! Most excellent. Thank you Prof.
Wonderful. Thank you very much.
Thank you Prof !
Thank you
Super pleased with this one Prof!!! Didn't know an upgrade like this existed. So grateful for your work!!! Rock on Professor Stoned!
Thank you very much.
so good
Thanks, Professor!
Once again, many thanks, Prof.
Dubley
Cheers Professor
Jimi is never enough, and so is your work of love...thank you...cheers
First time to hear this material where it doesn't sound cold and brittle and just plain nasty. Really enjoying this.
I'll say it again (I've said it before) - thank you sincerely and delightedly for your labor of love.
Brilliant thank you very much, well done :)
Can't wait to compare this with the other versions I have! Cheers, Prof, always worth a listen.
Radio one!
You stole my girl!
But i love you just the same
How do you download this?
When I click on download it just flashes and then nothing.
great work!! big thanks!!
Click on d/l link, you'll see a text document, read it, copy url and paste.
I noticed your "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" post is gone. Are there any issues with it?
It has been added to the upgraded AYE
Thanks so much!
Thank you very much.Prof.
Thanks - fabulous stuff
many thanks Prof. !! fabulous as always!
Fantastic stuff Prof!
I made an alternate cover if anyone is interested. https://imgur.com/a/B12BO8l
Thank you! If you could change the TJHE lettering in something in little less effusive, I will put it up here.
Again Prof you drop a golden nugget to us .......again ! So many thanks

@zmax532 - thanks for the alt cover too
AA
Thank you very much. Very interesting music.
bye!
thanks ! sounds good !
I've found this makes a dandy companion to JWB's "Cream On The Radio" (2018 Version), in part because both are such a sonic upgrade from their official counterparts
Yep, he did a swell job on that one.
Wonderful sounding collection of Jimi's BBC recordings. I have a very large collection of Hendrix vinyl boots, including some, but not all of these tracks. For my money this is the definitive and best sounding collection of The Experience at The BBC. Thank you so much for putting this together for us die hard collectors!
It's amazing how much effort goes into these releases, thanks so much.
Wonderful, thank you
Just compared this to the BBC Sessions release, and your totally blows it away, thanks!
This sounds terrific! Well done - we appreciate you and all of the work put into these projects. These are not only 50+ year old BBC recordings plus direct-to-mono, and your hard work shows through. Another reason why hard-core music fans get so upset when the powers-that-be won't put any effort into locating proper tapes and/or "polishing" them.
The above post applies to JWB as well.
Thanks! Great sounding collection, but the outro to Fire (which seems to be an edit of two sources) is missing about a second of music.
Well done Prof. Thanks so much.
RE: the last seconds of "Fire": my version is actually authentic and complete. The EH version was doctored; they have used the final notes from Purple Haze to mask the incomplete source they used.
Caused me to pull out and starting playing the 2CD set I compiled a few years ago, using a number of best sources, including several Westwood One CDs. Had a lot of fun de-clapping the now clap/don't clap song! Thank you again for all that you do!
Thank you for this great post I love the BBC recording sessions.
much thanks
This is what EH should have come out from the beginning... Thank you !
Fantastic!!!!
Thank you :) These sound so much better ...
ooo weee...i sure DON'T have the blues this morning, and I'm here to tell ya about it...
THANKS PROF. STONED! :)
This sounds excellent! Very clear and detailed. Thank you.
v1.0: 06-07-2020

Thank yu Prof. Stoned for upgrading this wonderful collection!
Thank you for the update, Prof. Stoned
Prof, Your attention to detail, even on your own work, is a lesson to us all. Thanks for caring enough to remaster the dynamite work you & JWB have done....Cheers
Thanks prof!
FritsfromHolland

Thank you, Professor. Keep the good job. Take care. Cheers.
Another gem here that I am going to thank you for and download! These are great sounding LP rips and just saying thank you seems so minuscule really :-) Much appreciated and I know it will be much enjoyed...
Thank you so much, dear Prof, for these gorgeous Hendrix gems! This is very much appreciated! Great to know, you're BACK!!!
Thanks SO much for all the Hendrix. He was amazing!
Definitive!!! Many man thanks!!!
Thank You!
I love and appreciate your efforts to make these wonderful and historic tracks shine. Jimi, Mitch, and Noel deserve it.
You sir, are a living legend. Cheers Prof.
Looking forward to listening to this one, JHE at the BBC, wonderful
Many thanks boss
Thanks!!!!!!!!
Many thanks for your great work.
Thanx a lot! well done! you can add as well the 29.12.1966 take of Hey joe,, and the other one from januaty 1967....you worked on it time ago...( i uploaded teh 29.12 take,,,,and you mastered it at DIMEADOZEN... cheers proff!!
Hey Prof Stone! Thanks so much for this, I only found it now. Thanks to Longjam for showing me the way. This is really great, I was never aware of the source history on these recordings! I have most of these tracks also as an off air reel recording from someone who lived in Berlin at the time, and taped it from British Forces Radio. They have slightly different spoken intros, but also feature Korner, etc as hosts....let me know if you are interested, I can wetransfer it for you. Cheers from Hamburg! Find me on DIME. Olve
Does he have the first session? Hey Joe & Rock me baby?
Absolutely superb. Thank you.
Thanks! really enjoyed the 2020 version, so I'm sure I will this too :)
