All songs written by Jimi Hendrix except "Bleeding Heart" by Elmore James, "Sunshine of Your Love" by Peter Brown, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton. Recorded between May 5, 1967 and Sept. 23, 1969.
Personnel: Jimi Hendrix, guitar and vocals, with: Mitch Mitchell, Rocky Isaac (track 3), drums; Billy Cox (tracks 1-3), Noel Redding, bass; and additional musicians.
From the notes by John McDermott: "Valleys of Neptune illustrates Jimi Hendrix's extraordinary creative evolution during 1969 — the most tumultuous year of his celebrated life and career. These twelve never before released songs include the final studio recordings made by the original Jimi Hendrix Experience as they endeavored to create a worthy sequel to Electric Ladyland as well as Hendrix's earliest efforts to chart a new course with Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox."
