This past summer, Dagger Records, the official 'bootleg' label created by Experience Hendrix through Geffen Records/UMe, released JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE's Live 1967/68 Paris/Ottawa Fan Pack Vinyl/CD box set featuring an exclusive collection of Hendrix memorabilia. The set - which will now be available in the UK on January 11th - includes Hendrix's Paris L'Olympia Theatre performance from January 29, 1968, alongside his Ottawa Capital Theatre gig from March 19, 1968.

This limited edition “fan pack” is offered exclusively through Amazon.com and celebrates the fan/collector commitment of Experience Hendrix’s Dagger Records label, the producer of these master recordings. Created 11 years ago to release primarily live and extemporaneous archival performances, Dagger’s mission is to sketch in the detail of the Hendrix legacy and augment the mainstream titles that Experience Hendrix offers though UMe.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience Live 1968 Paris/Ottawa features sterling live performances of such Hendrix classics as 'Purple Haze', 'The Wind Cries Mary' and 'Little Wing' recorded by RTE, the national French broadcasting company. The January 29, 1968 Paris concert was the band’s third foray to the fabled L‘Olympia Theater where they had debuted as an opening act for the French pop star Johnny Halliday’s two years earlier. The Ottawa performances were taped by Hendrix himself during the group’s appearance at the Capitol Theater on March 19th of that same year and include a Hendrixized version of THE BEATLES’ 'Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band'.
