In the Beginning is a live recordings compilation album credited to Jimi Hendrix, released in 1973 on the Ember Records label in the UK. Despite the prominent billing, the recordings date from 1966, before Hendrix’s rise to international fame.

The performances were captured while Hendrix was playing as a sideman guitarist, delivering high‑energy rhythm and lead work rather than front‑and‑centre solo performances. The album documents his formative years and early stylistic development, making it of particular interest to collectors and historians.

Tracks include:

• You Got Me Running

• Money

• Let’s Go Let’s Go Let’s Go

• You Got What It Takes

These raw live recordings showcase Hendrix’s emerging guitar vocabulary, blues‑driven phrasing, and rhythmic intensity that would later define his revolutionary sound.
