"Highway Chile" is an R&B foil to the A side's ballad and is notable in that it is recorded "live" without guitar and vocal overdubs, unlike Hendrix' usual backing track with multiple overdubs. It was later released with a stereo mix by Eddie Kramer on the four album box set Jimi Hendrix Experience released by Experience Hendrix/MCA/
