Reports that Hendrix's tapes for a concept album Black Gold had been stolen and lost from the London flat, are wrong.
Hendrix gave those tapes to Mitch Mitchell at the Isle of Wight Festival three weeks prior to his death. They are now in the possession of Experience Hendrix LLC.
Hendrix's unfinished album was partly released as The Cry of Love.
The album was well received and charted in several countries. However, the album's producers, Mitchell and Kramer, would later complain that they were unable to make use of all the tracks they wanted to. This was due to some tracks being used for Rainbow Bridge and War Heroes for contractual reasons.
Material from the Cry of Love album was re-released, along with the rest of the tracks that Mitchell and Kramer had wanted to include, in 1997 as First Rays of the New Rising Sun.
