• I sadly gave my copy away
  My mom gave a used copy of it to me as a Christmas present a while ago, and later I got the albums that all of the tracks from this album are on.

The real thing that I should mention is that this is the perfect Jimi Hendrix album to start out with.
  This album begins with what is probably Hendrix's most well known song "Purple Haze," the song that... more info

• The Only Jimi You'll Need
  There are older Jimi Hendrix collections out there, like Smash Hits - but don't bother with them. This is the one to get. Like most say, this one really packages the essential hits.

• Vietnam
  We loved this Jimmy Hendrix CD. We found some 8mm video tapes that my husband took while he was in Vietnam in the 70's. We sent the tapes off to have them put on a DVD and had them put the Jimmy Hendix cd as the background music. It turned out great !!! Brought back a lot of good and bad memories !!!! CD was worth every penny we paid for it !!!

  As a diehard Hendrix fan... like who isn't, I have to confess I felt that some of Jimi's best songs are conspicuously missing from this album. For example, I can live without "Dolly Dagger" but not without "Spanish Castle Magic"! I wish they had consulted me first when picking songs... but, oh well, heavy sigh, they did not. Still, even with its organizational faults, Jimi still rocks.
  This is a classic CD; I carry it in my car at all times. I know I am in the universal flow when I turn on the radio... more info
