Probably Alan Douglas's biggest slap in the face to Hendrix fans, Voodoo Soup was supposedly going to be what would have become Jimi's last studio album. However, added effects by Douglas and more overdubs by people some 25 years after the fact just show how out of touch he is with the real world.
If, for example, on the two tracks that drum were overdubbed (Room Full Of Mirrors, Stepping Stone) the master tapes were damaged somehow, I wouldn't have a problem with bringing in Mitch or Buddy to re-do them, if they played as close as possible to the original.
They were there with Jimi when these tunes were made, they played with Jimi, they knew Jimi. You don't bring in the friggin' former drummer of The Knack just because he works for your company and can play drums! Damn you Alan Douglas, damn you! And "Voodoo Soup"????
What kind of cold medication were you having an allergic reaction to when you came up with that title???
Ignore this one folks, and get First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, and South Saturn Delta if you want the true story.
