Jimi Hendrix fans.... I wanna start exploring the music of Hendrix but I dont know where to start..he has a million cds out ..BUT I dont wanna start with his BEST albums..I wanna see his developement as an artist..for instance like with Prince...on "For You" he was crawling..on the "Prince" CD he begin to stand on one knee..on "Dirty Mind" he stood all the way up!! Then on "Controversy" he started to walk..then on "1999" he started speed walking...then from Purple Rain- Lovesexy, Prince was olypic sprinting..LOLOL
I kinda want to first hear the albums where he was finidng his niche and then build to the albums that were just awesome! I love to listen to albums and hear the artists growth and maturity from album to album...my co worker said something about the "Electric Ladyland" album...Please Help! ps No greatest hits suggestions plz | |

I have to add ''Band of gypsies'', "The cry of love"" and "'Smash Hits"' (if not only for that fantastic version of Little wing)
DON'T buy ''Crash landing'' (instruments and vocals were added after his death) or any ''early'' Hendrix (where he's just backing up another singer , tho' it's got his name on it) [Edited 10/16/04 12:06pm] | |

To me it's much better than ''First rays ..''
"Angel","Drifting","Belly button window" , "In from the storm" , "My friend" and "Straight ahead"are great songs to me , hell the whole album is great (apart from "Astro man" , maybe) [Edited 10/16/04 12:36pm] | |

That narrows it down specifically. Start with Are You Experienced, then Axis: Bold As Love, then Electric Ladyland, then his last recording Live At The Fillmore. The rest are odds and ends, concerts and outtakes. Some are obviously better than others, but his he only finished 3 studio albums during his life. The first four I mentioned are the first to be released. I might be mistaken about Live At The Fillmore, but the Band of Gypsys are his new band, and newer musical ground is undertaken. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Only mistaken in that it wasnt his last... But that's Ok cause it's always good to see you , Supernova!! FYI- Both "Band Of Gypsys" and "Live At The Fillmore East" contain different peformances culled from those historic shows...in other words ,you'll need both....

I know this is slightly off topic, but this collection of outtakes:
contains the best version of " Power Of Soul" that I've ever heard, Much better than the one on"South Saturn Delta"...I don't understand why Kramer and co. did't use this version for official release,....

My take on this list:
Are You Experienced Live @ Monterey Axis: Bold As Love Live @ Winterland Electric Ladyland Live @ Woodstock First Rays of the new Rising Sun Band Of Gypsys (if you're only going to get this, OR the fillmore show, get this one. i'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but fuck it, get band of gypsys) anything on dagger records is highly recommended. you can't easily get cry of love anymore anyway. dead issue. yes, the box set is extraordinary. the rainbow bridge album, as well as "hendrix in the west" both have some great stuff on them, i recommend those too. one more: if you can find it, it's way out of print, but a box set called "stages" is excellent. it has one live show from each year 1967-1970. the studio albums only tell half the story; jimi thrived on stage. Keep your headphones on. | |

That's very interesting...the only other studio version Ive heard is the botched one on "Crash Landing".I thought Kramer had revised it for "South Southern Delta" , and that his was the only other attempt at completing the song... I think to date my fave is the live one on "Band Of Gypsys"...but Im gonna have to try and track that one you mentioned down... "...all you need ...is justa touch...of mojo hand....." | |

Hey mates, There's another decent version of Power Of Soul on The Baggy's Rehearsal Sessions. And even more so, the version of Message To Love. (Very close to the Band of Gypsys performance...well it was the rehearsal) A bit of comical commentary goes on between the players too.
