Any feedback on the just released Hendrix albums

All of that stuff has been available on bootlegs (some fine quality) since the '70's. Still, the officially released material is generally superior.

Not impressed with Neptune. Thought I would be, but this is fair at best. The versions lack a certain energy--you can see the effects of over-touring and drugs taking over. Was not engaged at all. Stone Free and Sunshine just lack something--very pedestrian--not firey like I was expecting.

I think First Rays is the better release.

Bongofury,I think the greediness of the Experience Hendrix outfit has more to do with what you heard than any problems the artist was having,albeit,the man was deemed to be in bad shape. It's well documented that Hendrix spent an enormous time in the studio and recorded everything that went on,most of which I'm sure,was never to be considered for released.These people have been riding the man's coat tails since they got control of the music.It is obvious they will release anything to make a buck.This is just my take on the subject,I'm sure there are many others.

I think you are right. Just think--20 more albums in the q.
That's what Sony claims.

Imagine the marketing opportunity here.

Buy an album full of Hendrix junk and get an album of Michael Jackson junk for the same price.
