Jimi Hendrix : Nine To The Universe (Expanded Edition)

 Nine to the Universe

is a

 posthumous compilation album

 by American guitarist

Jimi Hendrix 

It was released in

 March 1980

 It was the third album

 of Hendrix recordings

 to be produced by

Alan Douglas.

The album contains

 five jam sessions, 

edited by Douglas.

 It reached number 127

 on the 

Billboard 200 chart. 

Recording

Nine to the Universe

is the third posthumous

 compilation

 Hendrix release produced

 by Alan Douglas.

 The tracks were recorded

 between March

 and August 1969 

at the Record Plant 

and 

The Hit Factory

in New York City. 

Unlike his previous efforts, 

Douglas mostly retained

 the original backing tracks 

and musicians. 

However, 

he came up with the titles,

 since Hendrix

 did not give names

 to these jams. 

One instrumental

 was titled

 "Young/Hendrix", 

after organist 

Larry Young

and another 

"Jimi/Jimmy Jam", 

after guitarist

Jim McCarty.

Bassist 

Dave Holland 

commented:

 "I'm not quite sure why 

I was called, 

but I was real happy to do it. 

It was a lot of fun 

and very informal.

 Nothing was really planned ... 

It was real loose, 

and Jimi seemed as if

 he was putting it 

together as he went". 

McCarty added:

 "None of that stuff 

was ever intended

 to be released ...
