I was on the hunt for this record because it has the song Angel on it.  Maybe it was in the section where all the other Jimi Hendrix records were and I just missed it, but I found it.  I came home, played it and instantly became happy.  When I brought this home, there was a message on the back, so here it is:

Hello my friend

so happy to see you again

I'm so alone

All by myself

Just couldn't make it.

Have you heard Baby

What the winds blowing down

Have you heard baby

A lot of peoples coming right on down.

Communication is coming on strong

It don't give a damn Baby

If your hair is short or long

I said get out of your grave

Everybody is dancing in the street

Do what you know don't be slow

You gotta practice what you preach

Cause it's time for you and me

come to face reality.

Forget about the past Baby
Things aint what they use to be
Keep on Straight Ahead.

We got to stand side by side
We got to stand together and organize
They say power to the people
that's what they're screamin'
Freedom of the soul
Pass it on, Pass it on to the young and old.

You got to tell the children the truth
they don't need a whole lot of lies
Cause one of these days Baby
They'll be running things.

So when you give them love
You better give it right
Woman-Child-Man and Wife
the best love to have is the Love of Life.

Hello my friend
So good to see you again
Been all by myself
I don't think I can make it alone
Keep Pushing Ahead.

-Jimi Hendrix
