War Heroes is a compilation album by American guitarist Jimi Hendrix, that was released two years after his death (on October 1 and December 1972 in the UK and the US, respectively). It was engineered, mixed and compiled by Eddie Kramer and John Jansen.
Left behind more unreleased material than just about any other rock artist. Some tracks have rated as all-time classics ('Angel,' 'Izabella,' 'Drifting,' etc.), while others should have remained in the vaults (such as the full-length albums and, two collections that were near-criminally touched up by then- keeper ). The out of print is one of the few consistent compilations of unreleased, and has since been replaced.
Highlights include 'Beginning' (which contains a riff almost identical to ' 'Bitch'), 'Highway Chile,' and 'Izabella,' a track premiered on a TV show a year before 's death. However, not all of the material is up to snuff, such as the nonsensical 'Three Little Bears' and 'Midnight,' an overty indulgent instrumental. If you're a newcomer to, don't start here, but if you're a serious fan searching for some interesting obscurities, is definitely worth the price.
