I wasted my money, don't you. I really do not like the idea behind this box.
Not for the music purest or audiophile, but this will sound better in your car or at a party. As with most remasters, the sound is more compressed and there is more bass with shrill highs rolled off. A great set especially for the price. This set includes most of the classic Hendrix hits and several more rare and live tracks. The sound quality is very good after the remastering.
so just go listen like a good boy should. . no need to explain what is good.
The guy could be funny. There is stuff on here that would have made many a performer proud to have released on an album. And some of it Jimi seemed to just be goofing around.It was great to hear the reaction to the backup singers in the alt take of Hey Joe.
There's no Castles Made of Sand, Manic Depression, Love or Confusion, May This Be Love, Crosstown Traffic, Remember, etc. Hendrix released three studio albums and one live recording while alive, and several of the highlights of those recordings are not here. That being said, there is some stuff here for a Hendrix collector that is dying to have some new/slightly different material to add to their collection. If you're looking for a comprehensive collection of Hendrix recordings, you'll just have to keep waiting cause this isn't it. While the fidelity of the recordings has never sounded better, (including some much improved remixes) calling this a box set is somewhat deceiving.
