Kiss the Sky (Jimi Hendrix album)


Kiss the Sky is a compilation album by American rock guitarist, singer–songwriter Jimi Hendrix. In the US, it was released by Reprise Records in October 1984 and by Polydor Records in the UK in November 1984. The album's title is taken from the lyrics of "Purple Haze."
"Red House" is listed in the liner notes as the "unedited version", which amounted to a few seconds of studio chat that preceded the song. "Stepping Stone" is believed to be the original Band of Gypsys single mix. "Killing Floor" from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival was unreleased at the time.
The front cover artwork of the 1984 CD release on Reprise noted "Digitally remastered from original vault tapes", while the Reprise cassette cover artwork stated "Special Edition Jimi Hendrix album. Digitally remastered from original vault tapes. Audiophile qualilty recording on high-qualilty cassette".
