Songs For Groovy Children is a new 5xCD or 8xLP Jimi Hendrix box set that compiles his four legendary shows at New York’s Fillmore East on December 31, 1969 and January 1, 1970.
These recordings formed the basis for Hendrix’s 1970 Band Of Gypsys album (as well as 1999’s Live At The Fillmore East), but this is the first time the shows have been released in their entirety. The songs have been restored to their original sequence and newly mixed by Eddie Kramer.
