Worth It Just for "Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice"
David N. Dirickson | Tulsa, OK United States | 04/07/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Many Hendrix freaks may be wondering, "Why should I buy this remastered Smash Hits? I already own 10 copies of all these tunes." Please note that this is the import version with a slightly different track listing than the US version. More specifically, it features the original MONO single mix of "Stars That Play...", which beats the pants off the lousy stereo mix currently available on 'South Saturn Delta'. And if you ask me, you can't own too many copies of these songs anyway."
It's What It Is
Mr S. E. Weeks | London UK | 06/09/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The thing about music is that it's subjective in two ways. One; it means something to you personally - where you were at - at the time. Two; even the collective view is lost in time - one can never recapture the impact of hearing Hendrix for the first time - in the context of being there in 1969. Someone asked me at the time if JH was British or American, and I realised that for me in 1969 he was neither, he was more like one of the characters from the Marvel Comics that I collected - JH was from another planet like the Silver Surfer! When The Experience appeared on the Lulu show and interrupted Hey Joe to play Sunshine of Your Love in tribute to Cream (who were doing their farewell concert that night) it was as if the hippies had taken over - starting with the invasion of Saturday Night Propriety! This was way before we learned from GSH that The Revolution would not in fact be televised :-) So, enjoy what you can make of it, and ask your dad to explain the rest. Cheers!"
