Just finished playing Jimi Hendrix Smash Hits RSD Remastered LP for the first time and I must say I'm satisfied. While I don't have an original pressing to compare it to, it sounds pretty damn good to me ( despite some early bad reviews and rumours of digital processing ). The guitar has excellent bite, there is good macro dynamics, maybe a touch lean on bass on a few cuts but not all. My pressing is #177, its flat, and its quiet. The highlight of this record is "Red house" in stereo, and it sounds fantastic.

I don't remember the original as a great record, but as mentioned, I have a couple old copies, so I can clean one and fire it up. Red House- do you have Hendrix in the West- the UK Polydor is the way to go- long version, live. Jimi apparently didn't play much straight blues live- the audiences wanted the hits. Too bad. -
Nah, I don't have Hendrix in the west.I have the cry of love, radio one, Monterey, Berkley, south Saturn delta, and a few other oddball things besides his regular lps.Magnepan 1.6 QR Loudspeakers, Amherst A-2000 MOSFET 150 WPC Amp, Conrad Johnson PV-10A Modded Tube Line & Phono Stage, Electrocompaniet MC II Class A Head Amp, Audio Technica AT-OC9XML Cart (Stereo) , Graham Engineering 2.2 Tonearm (Stereo) , VPI Aries-1 Turntable (Stereo) , VPI Clamp, Denon DL-102 Cart, (Mono) , Luxman Tonearm (Mono) , Kenwood KD-500 Turntable (Mpmp) , Michell Clamp, Marantz 20B Analog FM Tuner, Pioneer SACD, Onkyo DX-6800 CD Transport, DIY 24B/192K DAC, Sennheiser HD-650 Headphones, Headroom Max Balanced Headphone Amp, DIY Silver InterconnectsComment

I have to recommend "Hendrix in the west" on UK, Polydor, its one of the best originals of his music that I have it in my collection.Originally posted by JCOConnell View Post

I bought a copy a while back that claimed it was a Classic reissue. I don't remember Classic reissuing it though and wasn't readily identifiable as a Classic release. But Classic did reissue a boatload lot of Hendrix recordings.Originally posted by banditcat200 View Post
