Other Appearances of Songs
Three versions of songs on Crash Landing had appeared on previous Hendrix albums. "Message to Love" and "With the Power" were on the original Band of Gypsys album recorded at the Fillmore East (the latter was listed under the title "Power to Love"), released in 1970. "Come Down Hard On Me" originally appeared on Loose Ends in 1974, and the version on Crash Landing is a wiped, overdubbed, edited version.
The original recording of "Message to Love" that was used as the basis for the Crash Landing version can be found on the West Coast Seattle Boy: The Jimi Hendrix Anthology box set. "Somewhere" without the Douglas era-overdubs can be found on the The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set from 2000. The title track, "Crash Landing" will finally be released in 2013 on the album People, Hell and Angels with the original players from 1969 reinstated. "Come Down Hard On Me" can be found with the original musicians reinstated on The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set. "Peace in Mississippi" was released on the compilation Voodoo Soup in 1995, in a longer version. However the complete original version was not released until being featured as the b-side to the "Valleys Of Neptune" single in 2010. The original, longer studio version of "With the Power", entitled "Power of Soul", is found on the 1997 compilation South Saturn Delta. "Stone Free Again" appears under the title "Stone Free" with all original musicians restored on the The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set from 2000. Finally, the "New Rising Sun" segment of "Captain Coconut" is available in an edited form on Voodoo Soup, and in it's full length form on the West Coast Seattle Boy: The Jimi Hendrix Anthology box set, whereas the full length "MLK" segment can be heard in full on the "Ezy Rider/MLK Jam" found on the Burning Desire compilation.

Famous quotes containing the words appearances and/or songs:
“The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
