Any feedback on the just released Hendrix albums

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.

Offer limited to the first 50 million buyers.

Throw in a copy of Yoko Ono's Greatest Hits and it's a deal!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure why there's such a negative reaction to this material? When musicologist find an heretofore unknown work by Mozart, it's interesting, regardless of whether it's high quality Mozart. A new sonnet from Shakespeare is by definition a major find even if it's bad Shakespeare. Now Jimi Hendrix is not at the same level as Mozart and The Bard, but even forty years after his death he's still considered the greatest rock guitarist EVER. So even his worst material is of interest. Basically, Jimi tuning his guitar is more interesting than 50% of anything any other rock guitarist ever played.

Onhwy61,it's mostly old,rehashed out takes from studio sessions,very little,if any,of it is very interesting.It is not up to par with anything Hendrix released while alive.Your analogy about Mozart and Shakespeare does't float with me,written works and recorded works are two entirely different subjects.But,everyone is entitled to their opinion.

"Now Jimi Hendrix is not at the same level as Mozart"

What a shock. Just think how I would have misjudged him.
Now that we have animalistic rap and hiphop to compare it to it might seem like genius, but it ain't high culture folks.

Oh how we have fallen.....
