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

As the 9th track on AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE, "Castles Made Of Sand" was recorded on October 5, 1967 during a lengthy session at Olympic Studios. 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
