As previously reported, Experience Hendrix LLC and Sony Legacy are releasing four new titles as their ongoing Jimi Hendrix catalog project.

This new wave of releases focuses on live Hendrix, including a four-disc deluxe box-set version of Winterland, which will be released next Tuesday, September 13. Other titles coming down the pike this fall include Hendrix In The West (Expanded), Blue Wild Angel: Jimi Hendrix Live At The Isle Of Wight (Uncut on DVD) and Jimi Hendrix: The Dick Cavett Show.

Disc 4 of the Winterland box set features a never-before-released 19-minute interview with Hendrix, which was conducted backstage at Boston Garden in 1968. Hendrix talks candidly about a number of topics -- while noodling on an acoustic guitar the whole time.
