[edit] Mike Mandel

I would like to know on which track Mike Mandel plays piano. Hendrix plays piano himself on "Crosstown Traffic" (according to liner notes of Alan Douglas CD edition from early 1990s), and Al Kooper plays piano on "Long Hot Summer Night" (same source). So are there any more piano on this album? I don't know. Also all organ credits are given. So what's Mike Mandel's role? Is he there at all???

[edit] Long Hot Summer Nights

How can this song be described as a 'political commentary'?


[edit] Release Date

Seen it as September 1968 (no exact day) in many places, and October 1968 in others. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (http://www.rockhall.com/hof/inductee.asp?id=130) says October 25th 1968, as does Hendrix's official site. I don't know if it was a UK/US separate release or not, but I would go w/ an official site (even if he was long dead by the time he came around).
