Description
"22 CDs, all in unique cardboard sleeves. Presented for the first time here in a clamshell box. 32 page booklet with extensive photos and full track details. 372 tracks -- over 23 hours of music. 1000 copies worldwide only. Officially licensed from the estate of Hendrix's former manager, Michael Jeffery. This set/compilation of Hendrix recordings surfaced somewhere around 2002 from indistinct origins, as Jimi Saga 66/67. It was a collection of available Hendrix material, (sessions, takes, mixing), live performances, and interviews, at the time of Saga's assembly, for the period of September 1966 through December 1967 inclusive. We do know two versions of Saga were produced at the time and with the greatest respect to whoever put this set together originally, the original Jimi Saga APE sets was/is a logistical nightmare in its original form; a mess, in fact. (It popped up in APE format on 11 CD-R) So a tiny group of Hendro-Heads decided that this needed sorting out, big-time! All eleven discs were decoded into audio format. Then all the tracks were re-named (where necessary) and re-located in order of date, so that we have added approximately 140 minutes of extra Hendrix material, (in the best quality we could locate), and the set now runs into 22 CDs. It needed a new name, to differentiate, but NOT dissociate it from the original; hence, Moonbeams & Fairytales. So there you have it Moonbeams & Fairytales -- Jimi Saga (2) 1966/67. 22CDs, comprising 372 tracks totaling 23:06:24. As accurate and fastidious as we have tried to be, mistakes will have been made; probably repeated some that were inherited. Where there are any, apologies. Hopefully the original Saga knot we have unraveled has brought some clarity to the situation; adding some listening pleasure? Huge thanks to the Dude(s) who put this together originally!"
