"Although no one can ever fully ascertain what the finished product would have sounded like had Jimi lived (with a presumed late 1970/early 1971 release date), this reconstruction of First Rays of the New Rising Sun is probably as close as possible to what Jimi would have intended."
Huh!? This is a contradiction. No one can be certain if this is what the album would have sounded like if Jimi had lived, yet this reconstruction is probably what he would have intended. In addition to being contradictory, it also appears to be a biased judgement on the part of the author. Perhaps presenting some further facts to support this judgement would be in order.
jimi was writing music for side d but it was not recorded. One of the songs is the story of life. Which is the last song he wrote.
[edit] The chronology
I suggest that this Album be placed after :Blues in the chronology rather than before it, as it is known that the Release date is considered for the Chronology not the recording Date. If i hear no reply on the issue or if no one objects, i will fix that problem within two weeks. --Six 7 8 19:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FirstRays.jpg
Image:FirstRays.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] needs a great deal of work to meet Wikipedia Standards
although I applaud the author's intent and many of the story lines and citations seem factual, this article suffers from several challenges:
a. it is highly speculative and laced with presumption ("This reconstruction of First Rays of the New Rising Sun, however, is not the best representation of what Jimi would have intended.")
b. it lacks any independent corroboration with no references for its claims (i.e."according to some sources")
c. overall is in need of serious footnoting (i.e. where is Hendrix's handwritten track list? "(according to Kramer)"??
I hope to come back and see that the author has re-worked it to meet the Wikipedia Standards (esp adding footnotes/references) as I, for one, would love to follow through and learn more.
