"Highlights are too numerous to mention, but for starters: the box includes alternate versions of "Purple Haze," "Foxey Lady," "Highway Chile" (appearing in stereo for the first time), "Hey Joe," plus extended versions of "Third Stone From the Sun," "Spanish Castle Magic," and "Gloria." Then there are the first known recordings of "Little Wing," "Sweet Angel," "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" (along with the first live rendition of the song). The last disc ends with "Slow Blues," Jimi's last known studio recording.

Even though this collection is aimed at existing Jimi-philes, there are more than enough tunes here to satisfy even the casual fans. Experience Hendrix/MCA has done a consistently great job with the titles they've released, and this box set is the crème de le crème. Highly recommended.  Vinyl collectors note: There was only one press run of the box set on vinyl"

I bought the eight album box set on vinyl and the sound quality is excellent. Alternate versions of PURPLE HAZE and HEY JOE are highlights as are live versions of THE WIND CRIES MARY, LIKE A ROLLING STONE, HEY JOE, PURPLE HAZE, SPANISH CASTLE MAGIC and I DON'T LIVE TODAY. Different versions of STONE FREE, EZY RIDER, and NIGHT BIRD FLYING are also great listening. The packaging is superior to all other box sets out there with a beautiful purple velvet covered box with gold lettering. The Lps are 180 gram vinyl with individual covers and protective sleeves. The book that contains a lot of rare photos and has a ton of information. It is good to have vinyl again and the sound is superior to compact disc. Well worth the money.
