To listen to him sing and play you would never guess that despite not even being able to understand what 'cords' he was playing, or even what notes made up the sounds; he created a 'noise' that will always be some of the best music of his time. Jimmy has emerged from this as a 'Rock Legend' and a man many guitarists use as a role model, and quite rightly too. On this album you will find out what made him one of the greatest stars ever; because these are his greatest hits ever...buy it for the pure pleasure of listening to a musical genius at work
Very good. History: - After delving into HiFi in 1967, this was the second LP album that I bought, the recording reproduction killed all that Hendrix had to offer, it was awful, and was unlistenable on real hi fi. Then around 1990 when I first had CD I gave it a try again and could not listen to it all the way through. On the small trannies and car radios of the day it was OK, the distortion injected a bit of excitement, but on anything decent it was a no-no. What a difference REMASTERING makes, this is now very good, all the unwanted distoetion and rough edges have been removed and now it sounds like Jimi probably expected in the first place. It is what I expected, and now after 35 years, I have what I wanted all those years ago. BUY IT, IF YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL CD, MAKE A FRISBEE OUT OF IT AND GET THIS VERSION. IF YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF JIMI HENDRIX - BUY IT - THIS LIKES OF THIS MAN MAY NEVER BE HEARD AGAIN Content - 5* Sound Quality - 3*Read full review
CD with purchase. I like music. In particular, the '60 s and' s 70 years of rock, blues, jazz, progressiverock music collector.
This is a collection of Jimi's best known recordings. They are all original studio quality, as opposed to "alternate" recordings which can be terrible. In other words, if you love Hendrix and you haven't got it, then get it!
