Reprise Records (Hendrix' US label) declined to issue this album in the US and Canada, as they considered the material below standard. This was the 4th and last Hendrix studio album released posthumously by manager Michael Jeffery.
The song was written in late 1968, and intended to be released on the 1969 album "Green Is Blues". Problems occurred with the first recording, so it was later altered and perfected the second time around.
