Been a HUGE Hendrix fan since I was 11 and heard my sister playing "Are You Experienced" I didn't understand what I was listening to, but knew that this guy was different and special.
I've got most every Hendrix title that's ever been released and when the mood strikes listening to 3-4 hours of straight Jimi is one of life's great pleasures.
"Valleys of Neptune" is just another posthumous historical document released by the Hendrix Family. For us Hendrix junkies any new material is welcome and cherished. I've multiple versions of his more famous recordings like: "Red House", "The Wind Cries Mary", "Little Wing", "Hey Joe" and they all satisfy in different ways.
I think that the big time Hendrix fan just says" Bring it on, I want all you got in the can, regardless whether it was commercial viability around the time it was recorded." Those critical of some of the material on "Valleys..." are missing the point- ANY Hendrix recording that has never been heard/released before is a new found treasure.
