"OH, HELP ME IN MY WEAKNESS"
I HEARD THE DRIFTER SAY
AS THEY CARRIED HIM
FROM THE COURT ROOM
AND WERE TAKING HIM AWAY
Loose Ends
is a
posthumous
compilation album
by American
guitarist
released in
February 1974
in the UK.
It was the fourth
and last
Hendrix studio album
released posthumously
by manager
Michael Jeffery.
The album features
a collection of
outtakes and jams,
with the exception of
"The Stars That Play
with Laughing Sam's Dice"
which is the sole
authorized track
by Hendrix,
in a new
stereo mix
by
Eddie Kramer.
The album was engineered,
mixed and compiled by
John Jansen,
who is listed on the
record's sleeve as
"Alex Trevor"
because he did not wish
his name to be on
the album's credits.
Additional engineering
was provided by
Eddie Kramer,
Dave Palmer,
Kim King,
Gary Kellgren,
Jack Adams,
Tom Flye
and
Jim Robinson.
Reprise Records
(Jimi Hendrix' label at the time),
declined to issue
this album
in the US
and Canada
as they considered
the material
below standard.
All the tracks
on this album
have been subsequently
re-released
on other
official albums,
in some form,
except
"Blue Suede Shoes".
The UK,
French,
and
German releases
had different covers.
