He died for our rock 'n' roll sins and left us wanting more.

 Alas, the late, great Jimi Hendrix doesn't sound so great on this three-track sampler of rough, rockin' Christmas tunes recorded at a rehearsal studio in the late '60s and released in the late '90s to make a buck.

 He was just noodling - and would never have allowed this to get out if he were alive.

 For rabid fans only.
