Rolling Stone's David Fricke proclaimed The Jimi Hendrix Experience "the Rolls Royce of posthumous Hendrix sets" when the 2000 original edition debuted. The box set earned RIAA Gold Album sales status in the US and has enjoyed widespread critical and commercial success throughout the world.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience is not a collection of previously existing recordings from Hendrix's famous studio albums. The Jimi Hendrix Experience presents 56 previously unreleased or unavailable studio and concert recordings from a remarkable four-year period in musical history — 1966-1970 — when guitarist Jimi Hendrix was bringing pop and blues and jazz and soul and psychedelia together and changing the way everybody listened to everything.

First released in 2000, The Jimi Hendrix Experience box is sequenced in chronological order, beginning with the first known recordings of the Jimi Hendrix Experience in October 1966, and continuing through the recording of his groundbreaking studio albums as well as a variety of transcendent performances, and ending with the artist's final multi-track recording session at New York's Electric Lady Studios in August 1970.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience includes all the alternate versions of classics like "Purple Haze," "Foxey Lady," "Bold As Love" and "Little Wing" and stunning, unheard Hendrix music such as "It's Too Bad" and "Country Blues" contained in the original 2000 box.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience legendary "Purple Box," is coming back on wax! Quality Record Pressings is pressing each double album in the 8LP set on 180-gram audiophile vinyl; each comes in album jackets with the original artwork.

Also includes a 40-page color book filled with rare photos, essays and annotation by Dave Marsh and John McDermott, detailed track notes and more.
