There have been several attempts made at reconstructing Jimi Hendrix's unfinished fourth album that he was working on before he died. But the most common attempts at these reconstructions involve a mysterious tracklist that was supposedly written by someone else. It consists of three sides of a 2 LP album with two track names repeated. For my reconstruction, I won't use any instrumentals like Cherokee Mist or Beginnings, I won't use any unfinished tracks like Belly Button Window or Midnight Lightning, and I won't use any tracks not officially considered for the fourth album like My Friend or Pali Gap. I also didn't use Astro Man but I think it turned out good.
