L'opera contiene i lavori prodromici al quarto album, rimasto poi irrealizzato fino al 1997.
Il prossimo 13 settembre uscirà "Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision", box set di 39 tracce registrate da Jimi Hendrix Experience poco prima di morire, lavorando al suo quarto album in studio, purtroppo rimasto incompiuto.
L'opera intende anche omaggiare gli Electric Lady Studios, collocati al 52 W. 8th Street del Greenwich Village, a New York, primi studi di registrazine di proprietà di un artista, oggetto di interesse di molti musicisti che vi approdarono, anche dopo la morte di Hendrix, per registrare le loro opere discografiche (John Lennon, The Clash, AC/DC, Chic, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga e Beyoncé).
