The Jimi Hendrix Experience "Spanish Castle Magic" from the album "Axis: Bold as Love" released in 1967 on Track/Polydor Records. As ever the drumming from Mitch Mitchell is excellent he was along with John Bonham one of the great innovative drummers, John Bonham though is THE best drummer ever apart from Buddy Rich.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience "Red House" from the album "Are You Experienced" released in 1967 on Track/Polydor Records. I notice that the American version of the album "Are You Experienced" did not have "Red House" on it, I think this because the Americans did not appreciate Blues Music like we Europeans did and do, perhaps not sure. I do know that for example Sonny Boy Williamson II, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Howlin Wolf, Jimmy Reed etc were basically unknown in America outside of Blues Clubs and Birdland in New York and in the late 1950s and in the 1960s toured extensively on my Continent were they were known more but again mainly by the Blues and Jazz Crowd as America was more interested in the Pop Music crap from The Beatles, Hermans Hermits etc
The European 1967 issue of "Are You Experienced" on Track/Polydor Records and "Red House" is track # 3 on Side I:

Oosie, you have a point that the classic blues (and jazz) artists met in general a higher level of appreciation on the Continent than in their own continent here but the other factor is that US record companies traditionally employed a different standard for LP tracks; whereas the UK would normally feature seven tracks on a side, the US of the same period limited them to six. This is of course when music tracks were much more uniform and "six tracks" meant 20 minutes or less in total.
This was entirely out of greed, as the technology easily supports 30 minutes per side or more. In fact at one point I believe Capitol was able to release an additional Beatles album versus Parlophone's UK catalogue, simply because the US division had held several tracks back and they built up, unreleased.
This would be the primary reason "Red House" would have been kept off "Experienced" --- some pencil pusher thought he could make Warner more money by squeezing more LPs out.
Of course our entire conception that a "song" means more or less "three minutes" is entirely due to the earlier technology of the shellac 78rpm record, since that was about the limit of that technology. There's no cultural or attention-span reason a particular song should be limited to three minutes other than that, so that technology dictated that model.
It took me years to write it, they were the best years of my life
It was a beautiful song but it ran too long
If you're gonna have a hit you gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05 -- Billy Joel
All because of the limitations of the 78. As we found out when "Hey Jude" and MacArthur Park" came out, the 45 single was easily capable of seven minutes.
The shellac that made the 78s was derived from a resin secreted by a bug in southeast Asia.
But I digress......

Kid A aged 5 years in age and me decide that today Thursday today Thursday after lunch that we are going to play various records to Kid E, she is going to like this I think she enjoyed The Sonics LP she was making cute noises and laughing to herself, well I hope laughing to herself and NOT laughing at the record if it was that then she's going to have to be adopted, she will though get another opportunity to enjoy records today.
I'm thinking of playing Kid E Albert Ayler's "Spiritual Unity" LP but at age 6 weeks I think she is to young for this, so I will have to wait until she is older and mature to play her that Albert Ayler album, say when she's 6 MONTHS old I think she will take it in and appreciate that type of thing
