Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Experience Hendrix brings together the major singles with a stack of majestic album tracks and the career-defining live Woodstock version of "The Star Spangled Banner" on a fat 20-tracker. While best used as a sampler to direct new listeners to the immortal Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, and so on, the CD (which supplants the short-lived Ultimate Experience collection) does hang together as a listen. Its blend of Hendrix the rocker and Hendrix the underrated soul man is suggestive, painting a picture of a multifaceted genius and transcending its plainly mercenary origins. In the end, its effect--like that of all Hendrix's best records--is to remind us of a Jimi very, very much alive. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars Best....Hendrix Compilation....Ever.......Period., 11 April 2005
This review is from: Experience Hendrix - The Best of Jimi Hendrix (Audio CD)
I actually own all the hendrix studio recordings, but sometimes (guilty admission) have to skip the odd track or two (little miss strange from Ladyland being a case in point)to get to the real cream, and often found myself wishing I had the ultimate collection of hendrix's songs, back to back, on one CD.

Well not any more, baby! As soon as I saw the track list for this bad boy I was amazed. It was just like the compilers of this record had asked me which tracks I wanted them to include! Wish granted! Problem solved! Nothing new obviously (this guy's back catalogue has been raped and pillaged since the 70's)but this package has all the 24carat classics. If you're new to Hendrix, on a tight budget etc, etc, get this beastie while it's still in stock!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for Newcomers, 17 Mar 2006
This review is from: Experience Hendrix - The Best of Jimi Hendrix (Audio CD)
Hendrix elevated electric guitars to a higher level than ever. Every great guitarist has been measured by Jimi's standards and most of the new musicians today have been inspired by him.

This is a great collection which shows Jimi doing what he does best, wailing on the guitar. For someone who hasn't heard much of Jimi's work, this album is a brilliant place to start. Alot of his albums are very abstract with endless guitar solos that can be hard to get in to for a beginner, but this collection has all the right tunes and melodies to get that beginner strapped in and ready for some classic guitar rock. Having said that, there are a few songs which feature amazing solos and the casual listener will find these highly thrilling and be comfortable with them.

If you own all of Jimi's albums, this collection is a nice way of having alot of favourites bundled together on one cd. However, these days with mp3 players and computer libraries, it is easy to create playlists of favourite songs or albums and string them together. So, die hard fans of Hendrix would not find it necessary to purchase this as the collection holds nothing new.

If you are a Jimi virgin then this album breaks you in to his best work. Once you have devoured these pieces then you are ready to go out and buy the albums which feature longer, bigger, louder and better solos and visions by one of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century.

5.0 out of 5 stars the wind whispered mary, 3 Oct 2005
By .Richard "Rich" (england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Experience Hendrix - The Best of Jimi Hendrix (Audio CD)
jimi hendrix one of the best guitarists of the late 60's he revolutionised how you could play guitar, and with a not great voice but still beautiful could make you feel at peace,
eric clapton and jimmy page once said after seeing jimi hendrix for the first time that they were going to give up playing guitar because they thought they couldn't compete with the man the world made god "jimi hendrix" this cd has 20 blistering from jimi hendrix most creative period and of course it features hulk hogan's old theme music "vodoo child slight return" and one of the best opening riffs EVER
if you can get the limited edition 2 cd set it features some fantastic un-released songs with 2 live tracks of "i don't live today" and "purple haze"
jimi hendrix a guitarist for anyone
