War Heroes:Jimi Hendrix

War Heroes is a sixth studio album (third studio album released posthumously) by American guitarist Jimi Hendrix, released on October 1 and December 1972 in the UK and the US, respectively. It was engineered, mixed and compiled by Eddie Kramer and John Jansen. Though Hendrix produced many of the songs, he was not credited for such.

War Heroes contains the three remaining tracks featured on First Rays of the New Rising Sun which were not included on The Cry of Love or Rainbow Bridge: "Stepping Stone", "Izabella" and "Beginnings" (listed on War Heroes as "Beginning").

The album reached #23 in the UK Albums Chart[4]  and #48 on the US Billboard 200.[5]
