      Reviews:

      “Sure, Hendrix wasn’t the only guitarist cutting a mean rug in the late sixties – Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck were also tearing it up – but for me, Hendrix was the true pioneer, constantly pushing himself to learn new techniques of playing and discover new sounds for his guitar to sing. He was a driven man, and never happier than when he could retreat into the sanctuary of the studio to write and record. Towards the end of his career he saw live performances as a contractual obligation, and frequently tried to make the best of things by using gigs to develop new material on the fly, which only increased his eagerness to get back to the studio to record these new ideas.

      This proved to be a mixed blessing, because he recorded so much new material, but much of it ended up half-finished and shelved as he chased his next new idea. So there was no shortage of stuff in the vaults when he passed away, but the quality was variable, and a lot of it was rushed out with unseemly haste on posthumous albums, as managers and labels wanted their cut of the diminishing cash.

      For the next thirty years Hendrix’s legacy languished in endless compilations rehashing the same songs, with the odd “rarity” thrown in to tempt buyers. That was until his father Al legally secured the rights to his son’s legacy, and the Experience Hendrix project was created to oversee the legacy and undo some of the damage done. Since then, there have been regular releases under the Experience Hendrix banner, with a mixture of live albums and compilations of studio material with previously released tracks, or different recording takes of stuff already out there.

      And while some fans might fairly criticise these releases as cash-ins, I take a different view, as this material has been professionally mixed by Hendrix’s original sound engineer Eddie Kramer. Kramer was on hand to assist Hendrix during most of his recording career, and while no one can truly know what Hendrix had in mind for some of these unfinished pieces, Kramer at least has an understanding of the musician and his mind-set. He’s also been assisted by John McDermott, a noted Hendrix archivist, who has helped to piece together the jigsaw puzzle that it’s the Hendrix tape vault.

      I’d thoroughly recommend reading their book Hendrix: Setting The Record Straight which is an excellent insight into the recording of the music, which gave me a much better appreciation of Hendrix as a creative spirit, and not just the “Purple Haze” guy.

      So if this has whetted your appetite, but you already have some of the music, perhaps one of the compilations, how do you navigate into deeper waters beyond the hit singles or any one album?

      Well, you might want to try the four disc compilation The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The title is a nice piece of wordplay, as the original Hendrix trio (with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell) were collectively known as the Experience, but “experience” is also a fitting way to describe the journey through this set spanning five years.

      Many of the well-known songs are included here, but as alternate takes, often from the same sessions that produced the finished masters, so these versions sound familiar enough to enjoy, yet also slightly different, offering alternative guitar solos or vocal lines, or alternative mixes. I did a back to back comparison of early tracks like Hey Joe and Purple Haze, listening to the versions on the debut album and then trying out the alternative takes on this box set, and the differences were fascinating.

      The master takes, in similar fashion to The Beatles’ stereo mixes, were mixed with the vocals positioned in one speaker and the instruments in the other, whereas these alternate takes position the vocals in the centre space between the speakers, offering a more natural acoustic. The guitars on the original takes are loud to the point of distortion, pushing the drums and bass into the background, whereas the alternate takes bring those instruments up in the mix and show how important Mitchell and Redding’s contributions to The Experience sound were.

      Interestingly, when Redding auditioned for the band, he was a rhythm guitarist and had never played bass before, only taking up the instrument with Hendrix’s encouragement. While he may not have developed into a virtuoso, his playing was solid and intuitive and allowed Hendrix the freedom to take the music in any direction he wanted, especially during live jams. Similarly, at the same auditions, Mitchell held back on his drum skills and played it safe, and it was only as the band grew and gelled through solid gigging and studio rehearsals that Mitchell opened up on the kit and proved Hendrix’s initial instincts right.

      The audio quality across the four discs is excellent, and it’s a tribute to Kramer’s dedication that he’s been able to restore so much of this material to such a high standard, especially the live tracks. Recording at concerts must have been so challenging in those early days, given how basic the equipment was, but the generous spread of live tracks in this set sound great. I can remember the excitement when The Jimi Hendrix Concerts set was released as a definitive collection in 1982, but the live versions on this box set surpass that release, giving the listener more of a sense of presence, of being in the front row and experiencing these extraordinary moments first hand.

      Of course, it’s not the same as digging into a complete live concert, but these selections have been chosen from across several years, and iconic performances, to illustrate Hendrix’s development as a musician and his desire to expand the language of the electric guitar. Some of these shows have since been released as complete performances, and if I had to choose one, I’d go for Machine Gun (The Fillmore East First Show) from 1969, where Hendrix ditches the hits and plays a set of largely new material, clearly on an inspirational high that night.

      But if you’re looking for a worthy overview of those five years, then The Jimi Hendrix Experience compilation is worth your cash. Not only are you getting a choice selection of songs, but they’ve been carefully sequenced to allow you to follow the same journey as the original fans did, and the book includes very detailed liner notes, listing where and when each song was recorded and who played on it, as well as insight into how the song was constructed and arranged.

      Even though this set is now twenty years old, as soon as you open it up you can tell that it’s a product of care and dedication, and a fitting tribute to one of rock’s true legends." Moments in transition Review
