Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Experience Rare Special Edition HDCD Polydor 517 235 - 2; Mastered by Joe Gastwirt

There is one lonely audiophile disc available, it is JIMI HENDRIX THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE which was part of the Mankowitz MCA remaster series but done in HDCD. This is very rare, there were about 2,500 made.

*******************************************************************
Surprisingly well chosen for a best-of assembled from the results of a fan poll, The Ultimate Experience brings together the major singles with a stack of majestic album tracks and career-defining live shots on a fat 20-tracker. While best used as a sampler to direct new listeners to the immortal Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, and so on, the record does hang together as a listen. Its blend of Hendrix-the-rocker and Jimi-the-underrated-soul-man is suggestive, painting a picture of a multifaceted genius and transcending its plainly mercenary origins. In the end, its effect-like that of all Hendrix's best records--is to remind us of a Jimi very, very much alive. Rickey Wright.



The Ultimate Experience was apparently compiled by UK Polydor via market research [snip].

"Red House" was the version from the US Smash Hits LP, not Jimi's choice from his first UK album (Alan Douglas repeated the same decision when he prepared Are You Experienced for 1993 release.

When the Hendrix Estate's engineer, Joe Gastwirt, heard this album, he was apparently appalled by its poor sound quality, based as it was on second or third-generation tapes, so he remastered it via HDCD technology, and this revamp was made available in 1993, tagged as a "Special Edition" with slightly different packaging.

you may want to use the HDCD Software Decoder to restore de HDCD coding (24 bits...). Sounds better by this way...

OK. With this disc...and your taste...but try HDCD Software Decoder in all others releases. I'm using this app in the King Crimson, Yes, etc...HDCD releases and all sounds good.

16bits against 24bit???

24bits (HDCD actually does 20 bits really; 16 + 4)sounds better. HDCD Software Decoder really works!. :D:

p.d: i listening your Are you experienced? neeldrop and this sounds very good. Thank you.
