Any feedback on the just released Hendrix albums

I just got the Valleys of Neptune and First Rays of the New Rising Sun today, and have only had time to listen to side D of Valleys of Neptune this version of Red House is just awsome. Just wondering what others think.

Not impressed with Neptune. Thought I would be, but this is fair at best. The versions lack a certain energy--you can see the effects of over-touring and drugs taking over. Was not engaged at all. Stone Free and Sunshine just lack something--very pedestrian--not firey like I was expecting.

I think First Rays is the better release.

I think you are right. Just think--20 more albums in the q.
That's what Sony claims.
