Yeah i think it's a really underrated album, and i would definitely recommend it to any Hendrix fan out there. The alternate version of Red House makes it worth the price alone, and then there's previous unreleased tracks like Valleys of Neptune, which in my opnion is on the same level of greatness as most of his previous work. The reason it mostly got mediocre reviews was that critcs thought it contained to little new material, but i think it contains more than enough new material to make it interesting for fans to buy it and enjoy it.

I really like his collection too. "Hear My Train a Comin' is played at a slightly faster tempo than the version from "Winterland", a very subtle change that I think sounds cool. I also believe this is the fastest tempo of all versions of "Train" which I have heard. Good "Red House" on this disc too. I thought it was a very worthwhile purchase, and actually pre-ordered the album in 2010.
