Much better than the prior Marino master posted on 05/21/2024 5 Stars Reviewer: JA This new BG mastered edition most significantly has greater separation of instruments and a bit more punch. Big improvement from the Marino 1997 / 2010 vinyl which I always found to be disappointing regardless of what table or cartridge I used. I like the Marino masters for the three original albums from that same time and was puzzled this would not be at least as good as those. The CD on the 2010 was better! This is a keeper for $23. Very happy!

First Rays Lp posted on 05/28/2010 5 Stars Reviewer: tom I consider this lp, the definitive collection of posthumous Hendrix releases. As close to what Jimi would have done as we are going to get. A must have for all Hendrix fans. Good sonics,great silent pressing.
