About

This for me was Jimi's Finest Hour; He had matured as an artist and tunesmith. Pali Gap was and still is my favourite instrumental by any artist including "The Shadows" who I love. The tracks originally appeared on a series of albums after his untimely death; and was only released in its originally intended package in the 1990's. Bob George.
