Dagger Records---Official 'Bootleg' Recordings--LIVE AT CLARK UNIVERSITY

This is harder to write than I thought it would be.  Simply speaking, Dagger did not put enough of Jimi's music on this CD to call it an 'Album'.  A mini-CD would be a better description as there is 30 minutes of music and 40 minutes of interviews with Jimi, Mitch & Noel.  Listening to Jimi speak is interesting but no where near as much as listening to his music do the talking. 

The music, in decent mono and fidelity, none the less, is flawed, like a fine piece of leather and it's natural defects. For the serious collector or rabid fan:  Do not let the novice Jimi fan hear this as they would not understand what happened and might feel a little bit off kilter.

Where LIVE AT THE OAKLAND COLISEUM was a home run, this is, at best, a bunt single.  It'll get you on base but is not a memorable at bat.
