Jimi Hendrix posthumous discography
 |
The following is a discography of posthumous releases by American musician Jimi Hendrix. After his death on September 18, 1970, work began immediately to compile new material for release. Hendrix left behind hundreds of complete and incomplete takes of songs, and it was left to engineer Eddie Kramer and drummer Mitch Mitchell to estimate his intentions for his next project. The first album released was The Cry of Love, named after the 1970 tour. This album, along with Rainbow Bridge, comprised the majority of what Kramer and Mitchell believed to be Hendrix's next studio album, though many more official releases followed, including controversially Alan Douglas-produced Crash Landing and Midnight Lightning.
As well as the many licensed studio, live and compilation albums released after 1970, hundreds of unauthorised bootlegs consisting of amateur recorded live concerts and also, unfinished demos and outtakes have been released, the number of which is likely over one thousand. Despite this mass of material released, there are still items in various places, many of which is now owned by the family company Experience Hendrix, L.L.C., as yet unseen and unheard. Some of the tie-ups involve legal disputes or lost tapes, while others are simply being held by the company for release at intervals which they deem worthy according to their long-term plans. In 1997 the album First Rays of the New Rising Sun was released, containing all the songs that Kramer and Mitchell had wanted to include on The Cry of Love but couldn't, due to contractual obligations.
