Sobre el álbum
La compilación de 1997, South Saturn Delta, es un tesoro para los seguidores más profundos de la obra del guitarrista. Este álbum recopila una fascinante colección de maquetas, tomas alternativas y canciones inéditas que abarcan toda la carrera de Jimi Hendrix, desde 1967 hasta 1970.
El disco ofrece una visión única de su proceso creativo. Permite escuchar cómo evolucionaban las canciones desde sus primeras fases hasta su forma final, así como descubrir piezas instrumentales y experimentos que se quedaron fuera de los álbumes oficiales. De esta manera, el álbum funciona como un cuaderno de bocetos de un genio.
La calidad del material es sorprendentemente alta. Lejos de ser simples descartes, muchas de las canciones aquí presentes son joyas que podrían haber formado parte de cualquier disco oficial. La compilación demuestra la increíble prolificidad y el nivel de autoexigencia de Hendrix.
"South Saturn Delta" es una antología de archivo indispensable. Es un trabajo que no solo deleitará a los fans más acérrimos, sino que también sirve para dimensionar la inmensa cantidad de música de calidad que Jimi Hendrix fue capaz de crear en su corta pero increíblemente intensa carrera.

Letra
"There must be some kind of way out of here," Said the joker to the thief, "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief. Businessman they drink my wine, Plowman dig my earth None will level on the line, nobody offered his word, hey" "No reason to get excited," The thief, he kindly spoke "There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I, we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late" All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants, too Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl *Buisness man there, drink my wine, Come and take my herb. - Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice4:21
