Just SMASH HITS reissued--nothing expanded

"Don't understand why they couldn't have added more of his big songs on this reissue, since they've basically renamed it. This is a typical lazy effort in this whole 20th Century Masters-Best of-Millennium Collection series. And could it have more subtitles? Tracks:



1. purple haze (2:52)

2. fire (2:45)

3. the wind cries mary (3:21)

4. can you see me (2:33)

5. hey joe (3:30)

6. all along the watch tower (4:00)

7. stone free (3:36)

8. crosstown traffic (2:19)

9. manic depression (3:42)

10. remember (2:48)

11. red house (3:50)

12. foxy lady (3:19)"

Why?

"As far as I can tell, the only time one of these lame "Millennium" collections is needed, is when there are no collections for an artist. Guess what, Jimi has numerous hits albums out, and they're almost all better. Not to mention his original albums. Obviously these songs are classic, and the remastering is nice, but at only 10 tracks, there's easily another 10 missing? Please get the 20 track "Experience Hendrix", the old "Ultimate Experience", or his 2-disc best of before this. However, even a little Hendrix is better than none."

Terrific Collection for the Budget-Minded

"Jimi Hendrix's music is released solely through the Experience Hendrix label. In 2002 they remastered the 1969 SMASH HITS collection. This 2005 20th Century Masters Collection is the same album with only slightly different artwork. All three releases contain the same 12 songs ("Red House" and "Foxey Lady" ARE included). Are there better collections available? Certainly. But for ten bucks, you get some of Hendrix's classic songs. As far as budget releases go, this one is pretty hard to beat."
