This is a brand new copy of the incredible box set of Hendrix 45's released in 1998. The beautiful packaging, with a box designed to look like Hendrix's Marshall amp, includes a 20-page booklet with a Foreword by Janie Hendrix and an illustrated commentary by Steve Rodham. The set includes 10 45's, each pressed on clear colored vinyl and stored in cardboard-cover picture sleeves. The singles have a small spindle hole and feature a reproduction plastic 45 insert! All of Hendrix's hard-to-find classics--and quite a few rarities as well--are here:
- Hey Joe/Stone Free (1966)
- Purple Haze/Foxy Lady (1967)
- The Wind Cries Mary/Fire (1967)
- Little Wing/Spanish Castle Magic (1967)
- Up from the Skies/Gypsy Eyes (1967)
- Voodoo Child (Slight Return) (1968)/Room Full of Mirrors (1970)
- All Along the Watchtower/Long Hot Summer Night (1968)
- Crosstown Traffic/If 6 Was 9 (1967)
- Rainy Day, Dream Away/Still Raining, Still Dreaming (1968)
- Freedom/Angel (1970)
This limited-edition box set is a must-have collectable for Hendrix fans. I've managed to get my hands on a few of them, but I don't expect to be able to get any more of these. There is now a second box set out, but it doesn't have any of these classic studio tracks.
