I have realised that I have been listening to Jimi Hendrix's music since infancy and I never knew what the 'Slight Return' in parentheses in the song 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)' is referring to? Does anybody mind illuminating me?

1If someone asked why Beethoven's piano sonata 14 was titles "quasi una fantasia", would it get migrated? – Michael Curtis Jul 26 '21 at 13:15

@MichaelCurtis - It should, it's a question about a piece of music, not about the practice of music. – Chris Sunami Jul 29 '21 at 13:56

On the album Electric Ladyland, there's a track called Voodoo Child, around 15 minutes long. There's a sort of reprise later, called Voodoo Child (Slight Return), which is far shorter, at around 5 minutes. This is the more commonly aired version. As it's so much shorter than the original, there is apparently only a short (slight) return to it.
