32bit Remaster & Mix, March 2008
I used the "Jimi Pass It On" source for this 32bit remaster. The two stereo channels are remixed, balanced and high quality cleaned now. Vocals, snare drum and the bass in the mid/end part are more in the background. I dragged all guitars into the light and you can hear even the ride cymbal. Altogether more details and very close to how it was intended 1970 but it still is rough. I assume if this really was leaked, they've blemished it deliberately.
If you don't like it, make yer own remaster! Enjoy...
For some time, it has been speculated that Jimi Hendrix played on one more song with Stephen Stills when Stills was recording his self-titled debut album back in 1970. The song "White Nigger" has never been officially released. Subsequent sightings of the song was always the 1973 version with Manassas, not Hendrix.
Recently, the JPIO collective [Jimi Pass It On] released a nice collection of what may be fan remixes of Hendrix called Silver Blue To Bloody Red Vol. 2 which contained a version of "White Nigger". One fan David offered his thoughts on the Hendrix connection:
"I thought I'd just add a couple of words about the Silver Blue 2 collection...This set has one track which many of us have been looking out for years, and which I never expected to hear - the Stephen Stills song "White Nigger" with Jimi on guitar. I didn't have high hopes for this one - after all, 90 percent of boots claiming to be the Stills/Hendrix sessions are fakes in my experience, and the version of this track which has been circulating for a few years is definitely a 1973 re-recording by Stills with Manassas and has nothing at all to do with Hendrix.
However, the version on Silver Blue 2 sounds like it's the real McCoy! It's a bit of a mess, actually, because it sounds like someone has just transferred all the tracks from the multitrack recording without any attempt at mixing, so it has a couple of Stills lead vocals and a lot of guitar tracks, some of which are Stills himself but many of which are Jimi's. It sounds like Jimi was attempting multiple harmonised guitar overdubs like on a lot of the material he was recording in spring 1970. Basically, it's unmixed and messy, but it's fascinating and - I never expected to say this - I'm 95 percent certain it's the real thing."
David concludes that the track may have been found while Stills was looking inside his vaults for rarities to include in his upcoming boxset.
No guarantee that this is indeed the famed collaboration...Judge for yourself.

Stephen worshipped Jimi and followed Hendrix around a lot in 1969-70 - although he had met him earlier around the time of Monterey in 1967. Graham Nash knew Jimi before that in London as he shared a flat with Mitch and Noel. Stephen became good mates with Jimi though, more so than any of the others in CSNY....although he annoyed them with his Jimi fixation and Young felt he had become too much of a Jimi groupie-although a few years later Neil also became a huge Jimi devotee as well. RIP Jimi
you did a great job nowhereman. I was searching for 'old times good times' and found this. Frikin rocks..you know what you can call me... ;) hows that?
I guess it acknowledges the racism we live in. Jimi was such a brilliant light that helped to bridge that gap of understanding that we are all brothers. It's just such a shame that we all get hung up about color. It's like an unloved child battling a box of crayons...

There was an article and an interview in CLASH (UK mag) last winter.
Stills confirmed that he came to an agreement w/ the Hendrix estate. He'll release an album w/ songs that feature Hendrix.
He didn't go into details but there will be some instrumentals on it - I hope they allowed him to put this out in a proper version...
