My bad Slaw.
I was referring to the actual content and the quality of the original recording, not the quality of the box set pressing itself.
I am not a huge Hendrix fan I must admit but do far there has not been much sparkle to the recordings. Not much to hold my interest for long if that makes sense.
However as mine is also an original first pressing at slightly more than you paid,I am not upset in any monetary sense.
Just was maybe hoping for more.
Had it a while and never played anything off it until recently.
