Well worth a look if all this is your bag, but might be out of print and in need of tracking down...

This one always fascinated and impressed me. It's obviously evocative of Jimi's afro hair, but the idea of that pose and with the sky as a canvas/backdrop, it's a beautiful image.
It is of course, The Cry Of Love, which was the final recordings from Hendrix that were lovingly put together by Eddie Kramer his engineer and Mitch Mitchell his drummer. Everything about that album just shines out like a beacon, for the care they had for Jimi, and the amazing brilliance of his playing.

Same. Mad as a box of frogs the boy Jason. But album hit the spot at the time. Still does, when the mood is right. And the packaging was FLAIR.
