According to Shapiros and Glebbeek's book "Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy" (1995) this track was recorded around Christmas 1963 along with other cuts, such as Fox, Under the Table and Wipe the Sweat. I doubt if Hendrix and Youngblood re-recorded it in 1966.
Well-o-well-o-well. I am miffed enough to add my 2 cents worth of what I've read of the recording. According to Tony Brown's "Jimi Hendrix A Visual Documentary - His Life, Loves and Music" this was recorded around winter 1963. It was 21 year old "Jimmy's" first venture into a recording studio while passing through Pennsylvania on his way to New York for the first time.
To me, after 50+ years listening to the greatest music maker that ever lived, this song highlights Jimmy's sessionsman contribution. It, and others recorded at this session, highlights his developement: the most important aspect of any musician's career. However, IMO, a listen to Goodbye Bessie Mae and She's A Fox show his increasing inimitable creativity. It is not surprizing to me that when he released his JIMI persona the people from his past couldn't get on to the bandwagon quick enough, some even claiming to have discovered him first. Jimi, as any true fan knows was his own man.
I just found an album of Hendrix Chitlin' Circuit material , with both sides of "GO GO SHOES" , AND ONE OR TWO OTHER SONGS WITH YOUNGBLOOD.
This stuff kills .
