Following the successful results of "Tune X," The Experience focused attention on "Tune Z" which eventually became "Castles Made Of Sand." Failing to get the desired results after 15 takes, Hendrix and Mitch Mitchell go it alone for a 16th take which featured a faster guitar tempo. This unique recording without bass is featured on the box set WEST COAST SEATTLE BOY. #JimiHendrix #CastlesMadeOfSand #TuneZ #OlympicStudios #WestCoastSeattleBoy #FallIntoTheSea | Jimi Hendrix

After more than a dozen failed attempts, Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Kramer made some gear adjustments before recording a few examples for review. With the full band reconvened, the 18th take resulted in the album's master recording. #CastlesMadeOfSand #JimiHendrix #AxisBoldAsLove | Jimi Hendrix | Facebook
