Die Namen meisten Titel sind ja geläufig. Da ist wohl eher die Frage, ob es sich um lohnenswerte Alternate Versionen handelt.

Ich hab mal ein wenig recherchiert:

1.Mojo Man [Ghetto Fighters]
Google spuckt dazu folgendes aus:
In 1969 Jimi Hendrix and his friends and back-up vocalists Taharqa and Tunde Ra Aleem embarked on a now legendary project: The GhettoFighters. The Aleem’s – formerly known as Albert and Arthur Allen and The Twins – can be heard on three of Jimi’s classic albums ”Cry Of Love”, ”Rainbow Bridge” and ”War Heroes”.
Their professional relationship resulted in vocal contributions to songs such as ”Dolly Dagger” , ”Freedom” etc.and these collaborations, along with their longstanding and intimate personal relationship with Jimi, fueled the conceptualization and formation of The GhettoFighter Group and a music publishing company, West Kenya Music, Inc
During this period Jimi often affectionately referred to the planned GhettoFighter Album as a street opera and his lead guitar on ”MojoMan” remains as living legacy to his commitment to this project. But his untimely passing a few months later interrupted this collaboration and ended any further earthly involvement he would have with the Aleems and as a GhettoFighter.
Without Jimi, the Aleems felt the project’s direction would have to be re-evaluated and they decided to place the ”MojoMan” master tape in their vault. More than twenty-five passed until the brothers felt the time was right and their decision make the project public was initially motivated by the control of the Hendrix Estate being returned to Jimi’s father, Al Hendrix and his family.
It has been almost six years since they traveled to Seattle, Washington to participate in the special Jimi Hendrix Tribute Concert the Hendrix Family held during the annual BumperShoots Music Festival to celebrate the return of the estate. During that long week-end, the Aleems not only preformed with other Jimi bandmembers like Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding, and Buddy Miles but they also held several meetings with the Hendrix Family about The GhettoFighter Tape. These discussions eventually culminated in an agreement granting the use of Jimi’s name, likeness and biography in conjunction with the GhettoFighter project.
After much consideration, the Aleems have finally decided to auction the master tapes and all worldwide rights to ”MojoMan”on eBAY, the most well known auction site on the internet. This song was completed in 1969 and nothing other than remixing has been done to the original track, which was recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and in Electric Lady Studio in New York. It was written and produced by the Aleems. Eddie Kramer was the engineer for the Electric Lady Session when Jimi recorded his guitar lead.
