Jimi Hendrix - Burning Desire

Burning Desire is a posthumous compilation album by American rock musician Jimi Hendrix, originally released in December 2006 via Dagger Records.

Burning Desire is part of Dagger Records’ authorized Jimi Hendrix ‘bootleg’ releases.  Mixed by Eddie Kramer, the collection presents compelling examples of Jimi’s remarkable creative explorations through 1969 and early 1970.

In the shadow of Electric Ladyland, the original Jimi Hendrix Experience struggled to remain a cohesive unit and Jimi’s ceaseless creative pursuit would lead to experimental sessions with bassist Billy Cox and drummer Buddy Miles and ambitious attempts to integrate fresh musical elements.

On these studio recordings, Jimi can be heard developing exciting new material such as “Ezy Ryder,” “Cherokee Mist,” “Villanova Junction Blues,” “Izabella,” and “Burning Desire.”

Burning Desire was originally released on CD via mail order only, seeing it’s only LP release on black vinyl as part of a previous RSD Black Friday event. The double LP will now be available for the first time since, pressed on Translucent Orange and Red vinyl by QRP as part of the new RSD Encores series revisiting popular releases from past Record Store Day and RSD Black Friday releases.

This double album 2LP record set is a 2022 RSD Black Friday limited edition of 5000 copies on translucent orange and red coloured audiophile vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve, pressed in Europe via Experience Hendrix and Dagger Records.
