Recommend me a Jimi Hendrix album

[wasted years]

So many to choose from. So which one should I get?

Thanks

Voodoo Child - the collection.

It's a double CD of all his best songs.

Thanks K

I guess there'll be more posts saying that this album is better than that one, etc, etc.

I guess the key is do you go for a compilation of most of his 'popular' stuff - or go for one of the classic albums of all time - which is 'Are you experienced'

At the end of the day - if you get any compilation album you can't go wrong as they'll mostly be very similiar.

If you're down Basingstoke or Ascot way anytime soon - then you're more than welcome to borrow my CDs.

I'm in Newbury so happy to bimble down to Basingstoke

[Kinky]

Can you pop down tomorrow daytime?

[wasted years]

Would have to be after 5. Or anytime Thursday.

Agree, the live version of Hey Joe on that CD is epic

Thursday for me is pants.

5 is kinda pushing it - and our canteen closes at 4 - so no coffee or munchies

I could just leave them on Reception for you?

Voodoo Child, double CD, first one is studio, second is live recordings...

[wasted years]

Have to be with the missus tomorrow daytime otherwise I would quite happily have popped down. Think I'll go with plan A and get your recommendation from HMV.

Thanks anyway Mark.

[Kinky]

No worries.

Good to know I'm not the only one recommending it

Has to be the ultimate experience imo. First Hendrix collection I got, and now any of the other "greatest hits" just sound in the wrong order!

Get on Youtube and look at some live recordings, amazing stuff, i am sure someone somewhere has put them on a cd.

I would agree with "The Ultimate Experience" as a good starter. Pity it wasn't around when I ended up buying "Band of Gypsys" as the 1st sample many years ago...
