1.0 out of 5 stars This album is ONLY for those who are "hard up" for Jimi, November 23, 1999

This boxed set contains mostly very early Hendrix material, wherein he either played backup for another band (Little Richard) or material he recorded very crudely before he became famous. I have all of this material on albums I bought years ago, and regretted it. However, I have to admit, it does have some good Hendrix solos, but the sound quality is very poor. Only buy this album if you want to include his beginning work as part of your collection. But do not expect to play it more than once - unless you like Little Richard too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cash Maker, December 27, 2000

Wow, you say! Three discs full Hendrix tunes for only 15 bucks! What a deal! Not quite. Disc 1 has NO HENDRIX AT ALL, it's only Little Richard with an amatuer guitarist recorded in the early '70s. Hendrix did record with Richard, however, the songs aren't included here. Disc 2 is split between more fake Hendrix tracks and some actual ones recorded in a bar (the Scene Club, NYC)in '68. The actual tracks are rough sounding and can be found more complete elsewhere. Disc 3 is mostly Hendrix (exception - Two and One Goes) when he played back up for Lonnie Yougblood in '66. Not bad, but nowhere near what he did with the Experience. All tracks were lifted from vinyl LP's. For collectors only!

2.0 out of 5 stars criminal to promote or sell this, September 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: GROOVE MAKER (Audio CD)

It's criminal to promote this material, I'm sure Ed Chalpin had something to do with it. This is sub standard Hendrix and for anyone that realy loves his music, they know that its criminal to sell this. If everybody sabotaged Ed Chalpin it would do Jimis memory much more justice. But is there any real justice in this world? When it comes to Jimi Hendrix (a man who was solely interested in music) there isn't because every one is trying to exploit every little mistake he ever played onthe guitar. And isn't it funny how Jimi himself said" I hear people are imitating me so much they're even copying my mistakes". Get rid of these substandard releases.
