Audio sample? ="The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice" [Electric Gypsy by Harry Shapiro & Caesar Glebeek 1992 Mandarin Books Page 527] is a song by Jimi Hendrix, first released as a mono single B-side in the UK in August 1967 to "Burning of the Midnight Lamp". It later appeared in September 1968 in mono on "Smash Hits".
The song features more sophisticated instrumentation than his earlier 1967 releases, and would anticipate the richness and detail of "" and "Electric Ladyland". Both songs feature the use of wah-wah guitar effect, a first for Hendrix. The title an homage of the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", not only including the initials of the drug LSD but also of STP.
After one verse, the song descends into a loose jam with two guitar parts in addition to Redding and Mitchell's bass and drums. The song's first appearance on LP was, like "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", on the mono Track (UK) & Polydor (& later Track) fake stereo effect editions of "Smash Hits". It has now been re-released in the 1972 stereo remix on the compilation CD "South Saturn Delta".
