Smash Hits

i first purchased this on cassette back in the 80s, as part of an 11-for-a-penny Sunday newspaper deal (you remember, with the stamps lol). I think it was my 11th choice - i thought, well i've heard of this guy, i guess it might be ok. I wound up listening to this album far more than any of the others, it wasn't even close. I fell in music-love with it! To me this is the perfect distillation of Hendrix's musical output.

how can you tell if an album is a classic ? when you're still listening to it 40 years later. Glad to have it again on my ipod

It's something you never forget! All killer, no filler. I still miss this guy. "I can see you've had your fun."

For YEARS I have looked for the song "The Stars that play with Laughing Sam's Dice." I recorded "SMASH HITS" off a radio station back in the 80s when I was a kid, and didn't know there were two different versions of the album (the UK version, which was what I recorded, and the US version). So, I lost the tape, and kept looking at copies of "SMASH HITS" trying to find that one song that I loved. Eventually, I wound up thinking maybe the radio station had just played whatever they wanted that night, calling it Jimi Hendrix "SMASH HITS." But now I know there are two distcint versions of this album. So my question is, can we get the UK version on iTunes also? By the way, I finally found the song I wanted on "SOUTH SATURN DELTA."

I just bought this album last night (not from iTunes) it's way good. But it doesn't have voodoo child on it. That's too bad.

As many of us are quite aware Jimi was a one-hit wonder. This is definitly a collection of his greatest songs. To call them hits is a gross injustice, Jimi didn't need hits.

Includes hits like "Purple Haze" and "Hey Joe". Also has other fan favorites like "All Along The Watchtower", "Fire", and "The Wind Cries Mary".
