Jimi Hendrix getting re-mastered

The Beatles just had all their albums re-mastered. AC/DC might release a box set in a working amplifier. The Rolling Stones are still making albums. All these classic rock bands are still getting their music out there in new ways to millions of longtime fans. But what about the man considered to be the greatest rock guitarist of all time? Not to worry, guys. Jimi Hendrix is being taken care of.

TwentyFourBit is reporting that Hendrix’s sister Janie is planning on releasing a ton of Jimi’s music in a re-mastered format. “With technology as good as it is, we can bring Jimi’s music — we have hundreds of original masters — to people in a pure form using those masters,” she said to Gibson.com.

Not only will Hendrix bring back her brother’s more famous tunes but also songs that have never been released. “We probably have another decade of music, including video. Every 12 to 18 months we’ll continue to have new releases and Dagger [Experience Hendrix’s label for board and audience recordings] official bootlegs…We have an amazing amount of original masters, including a lot of material that hasn’t been previously released.”

Man, all these re-masters that are going to be coming out are gonna make me go broke. I mean I’m already broke but I’ll end up being in debt to someone I don’t want to be in debt to just so I can get my hands on all this music. Anyone wanna hire me? I’ll work for records.
