• Hi there, I'll review this. Weird it took so long for someone to get to it, great song and all. FunkMonk (talk) 11:42, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. One potential reviewer (for a FLC) expressed concern about previous ownership/tendentious editing issues with Hendrix articles. Although it doesn't appear to be a problem anymore, some may still think so and avoid them. —Ojorojo (talk) 13:55, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

• "and Steve Cropper with Stax Records/Booker T. & the M.G.'s" Note needs citation.

• "(My Girl) She's a Fox" was written by brothers Richard and Robert Poindexter, who later wrote "Thin Line Between Love and Hate"." Needs citation.

• "Hendrix's brother Leon saw "Little Wing" (and "Angel") as a general tribute: "He wrote it for his girlfriends, our aunties, and especially for our mama, who looked over us from high above in the afterlife"." Seems significant enough to be added to the article?

A lot of Leon's recollections, etc. seem sketchy. I added it, but included that it is Leon's interpretation (there is no indication in his bio that the two ever talked about it). —Ojorojo (talk) 16:52, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

• "It followed the familiar chord progression," Familiar in what way? Compared to the final version? A bit unclear.

Yes, clarified. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:52, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

• "The Experience's American label Reprise Records held up its US release because of the December release of Get That Feeling, the Curtis Knight album on Capitol Records that was designed to look like a current Jimi Hendrix album.[28] Even when Reprise issued Axis on January 15, 1968, it was felt that its sales were hampered by the confusion caused by having two new albums in the stores in such a short time." I think you have notes that are more relevant to the specific song itself than this entire passage.

Agree, trimmed and added as a footnote. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:52, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

• "was one of only two songs from Axis that the Experience regularly performed in concert." What was the other one?

Added with ref. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:52, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

• "although originally listed as San Diego Sports Arena)." Also seems more like note material than some of the actual notes.

Move to footnote. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:52, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

• Well, that was quick, sorry you had to wait so long for something that took so little time... I'll pass this now. FunkMonk (talk) 16:54, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Great. Thanks again. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:58, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
