Well, hey, everyone, welcome to this week's episode of The Vinyl Guide, the podcast for fans and

collectors of vinyl records. And this week, we are talking with Jimmy Hendricks musical

archivist, John McDermott. John is part of Experience Hendricks, the organization who manages

the Jimmy Hendrix estate since the 1990s. John has also written several books about the

brilliant guitarist

and has overseen the conservation, re-representation, and reissues of Hendricks music and

LPs for many years. Today, John is going to give us a peek into the history of the posthumous

Hendricks releases, as well as the approach that is taken to prepare and make these recordings available.

And today we also discuss the latest Hendricks release, both sides of the sky, featuring

Hendricks' recordings rarely, if ever, heard outside his inner circle. Both sides of the

sky is available on March 9th, so go shake down your local record store clerk about getting a copy.

And we are brought to you in part today by groove washer.com.
