4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Collection for the Budget-Minded, October 5, 2005

Jimi Hendrix's music is released solely through the Experience Hendrix label. In 2002 they remastered the 1969 SMASH HITS collection. This 2005 20th Century Masters Collection is the same album with only slightly different artwork. All three releases contain the same 12 songs ("Red House" and "Foxey Lady" ARE included). Are there better collections available? Certainly. But for ten bucks, you get some of Hendrix's classic songs. As far as budget releases go, this one is pretty hard to beat.

Don't understand why they couldn't have added more of his big songs on this reissue, since they've basically renamed it. This is a typical lazy effort in this whole 20th Century Masters-Best of-Millennium Collection series. And could it have more subtitles? Tracks:

1. purple haze (2:52)
2. fire (2:45)
3. the wind cries mary (3:21)
4. can you see me (2:33)
5. hey joe (3:30)
6. all along the watch tower (4:00)
7. stone free (3:36)
8. crosstown traffic (2:19)
9. manic depression (3:42)
10. remember (2:48)
11. red house (3:50)
12. foxy lady (3:19)

5.0 out of 5 stars Jimi at his best without the infinite guitar solos, March 18, 2007

All songs that have come to be Hendrix classics and show his skill without being self-serving on solos. Nice remake of "Hey Joe" (originally done by The Leaves") actually better than the original in my opinion. Has all the classics that used to be on rock radio in the '60's, but even though the arrangements aren't real fancy (bass, guitar and drums) they are good for the time. If you're a JH fan, this is a must-have.
