โต Little Richard: โ...I was touring through England and Jimi came up to the hotel... He had recorded Purple Haze and he needed 50 dollars. He came to the hotel and borrowed some money from me and he introduced me to his little girl he had with him. He said โIโve got a new record coming out Richardโ ...and he says that itโs gonna be a hit. Sure enough when it came out it was a mighty hit.โ

โต Bob Dawbarn of Melody Maker interviewed Jimi by telephone. In the interview Jimi alluded to the reformation of the original Experience band. โIโve been thinking about that for a long time. All Iโm waiting for is for Noel and Mitch to make up their minds and we can get everything fixed. I saw Noel at the Fillmore and I think everything is working out fine with him. Now I am looking forward to seeing Mitch. He has been over there in England getting himself together.โ Jimi also provided Dawbarn with some insights about the new music that he had been developing. โIโve been writing a whole lot of things,โ Jimi replied. In fact, weโve got enough material now for another two LPs. We are trying to decide what to release and at what time. Weโve started recording and you should be receiving a single around the end of January. The title? It should be either โTrying To Be A Manโ or โRoom Full Of Mirrors.โโ
