Think of this as sort of an anthology. There are alternate tracks as well as a "history book o' Hendrix" that comes along with it. The new versions are great and it stands as a reminder of just how ahead of his time Hendrix was. I'm sure he had no idea (at the time) that he would be able to lay claim to being a forefather of the fusing of jazz and blues and rock and has as much of a right to that claim as Miles Davis (who just happened to LOVE Hendrix)does. The hardcore rock fans will ove this, the blues fans will dig it and the fans of fusion (Mahavishnu Orchestra; Return to Forever etc) can also find things to love about this collection.
This is a Very Excellent Release of Jimi Hendrix outtakes-alternate versions of his orig. studio tracks and live covers spanning almost 4 years. After his death in 1970 alot of LP`s were rush released to cash-in on this guitar Master`s remaining available recorded output. The 8 sides of this well put together boxed set are the best you could find. It`s a real delight to hear his first take of `Little `Wing develop into the Final Finished studio version. The boxed case is very nice and the booklet included w/it makes it Tops for any Hendrix Fan! This one is a Must for all guitar players and Timeless Music Lovers alike! 5 Stars!!
i love Jimi Hendrix and this box is something great! it's a collection of live and previously unrealesed tracks and so it completes the discography that a Jimi fan should have. if you only have listened to official albums this box will surprise you by guiding your senses through every single song that any lover knows but revisited and played in alternate versions that will make your ears say thank you! the booklet is full of great pictures of Jimi, of posters and tickets of live shows and pics of lyrics write down on hotel paper! every song is listed with date and location of recording plus other info and with a pretty good description of the story of that song. concluding the cover box is made of a gorgeous violet velvet that makes it even more a collector's item. hope my review was helpful to everyone who is interested:DRead full review
If your a fan of guitar or a player, this collection is a must have. Hear the master at work. Lots of material- not the polished finished work of Hendrix's studio releases, this box set has outtakes, jams and live material that gives a great overview of a master guitarist and creator at work. It is presented in a generally chronological format so you can follow the development of Hendrix' music through his 3 1/2 year recording career. Start off with the 3 studio works, Are You Experienced, Axis Bold as Love and Electic Ladyland and then get your hands on this box set.
Great CDs, Good sound, Nice box set
