I picked up the vinyl version last night and listened to three of four sides. Overall, my feeling is that the family has finally run out of quality Jimi material. I can tell that much processing was performed on the music to get it to marginal audio standards. The "new" song isn't all that great, perhaps it will grow on me in time, but at first listen I wasn't terribly impressed. Some tunes have a good drum and bass tonality, but the majority of the tracks are a bit strident.
Hey, any new Jimi is welcomed in my house and I have all the earlier pressing and CD releases. I would recommend it to long time fans but if you are new to Jimi then I would stick to the earlier releases by the family.
