Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
The Jimi Hendrix Experience only recorded for the BBC over a two-year period, and from the tracks assembled on this two-disc set, it sounds like their on-air appearances were a constant struggle between what the Beeb wanted--for them to play their songs and be done--and what Jimi wanted, which was to mess with whatever it was the Beeb wanted. Sometimes, that took the form of jamming (as on two tracks with Stevie Wonder improbably playing drums); sometimes, it was peculiar covers (like "Day Tripper" and "Sunshine of Your Love"). Jimi's playing is, of course, impeccable, though the sonics of the set leave something to be desired, and it gets a bit repetitive--three versions of "Hey Joe"? --Douglas Wolk

This has to be one of the finest Hendrix albums I have heard to date, It flows from beginning to end with excellent versions of Wait Until Tomorrow,Spanish Castle Magic,Fire and an excellent covers of Day Tripper and Hoochie Coochie Man. Hendrix takes these songs to a whole new level, this album is a must for any Hendrix fan as it captures the feel and sheer power of his playing.A Definate Must!

When I started buying records, this was one of the first I got (A truncated version was released in the late 80's on Castle) I was knocked out and subsequently spent my teens trying to BE Jimi Hendrix (apart from the Hair/Clothes couldn't really carry those off as a 13 year old in Leeds) OK, so there are some filler tracks here and maybe the recording quality could be better but then again the guy was working every hour god sent and was literally frying his amps with the amount of Watts he was putting through them, no one else in the world could have tamed such a savage beast. I was pleased to find out when I re bought the album last year that It had lost none of its bite. Listen to "Killing floor" at full volume and re-enact the moment when Eric Clapton realised that he just might not be "God" (this was the first thing Hendrix played on stage in the UK). More than just an interesting document, I would agree that the studio LP's are more essential but under no circumstances would I recommend that anybody buy a Best of collection. All of these albums are required purchases for any self respecting music fan.

It has often been said that ` any band can sound good in the studio` and I think its true especially if the material is good. The Jimi Hendrix Experience are just cooking! and all the takes sound so fresh and warm the band have been captured in the raw and bloody incredible it is, even covers come to life, try Hound dog when Jimi says fetch daddys slippers! woofs and barking noises also in the background, this recording proves to the public that there are three very special musicians in this band, not just Hendrix and two backers! If you own their 1st four studio albums then this is the only other disc you`ll ever really need.. Brilliant..Some might say a live album could be added to a collection . Band of gypsies for instance different personell but Jimi on full throttle!

Essential Hendrix
This collection of BBC Experience is terrific, and if it gets a bit repetitious in parts, with several versions of the same song, that's OK because the set as a whole is... Read more

No reflection on the music but..........
The music is of course great but a lot of these tracks are in 'Fake' or Simulated Stereo(as mentioned in the sleeve).

Not great for a Hendrix live radio broadcast session album!
Don't get this two double-disc [Box Set] because the sound quality isn't that good of a BBC Jimi Hendrix's tour recorded in england with his experience band right here. Read more
