Reviews Customer Reviews for The Ultimate Experience      Wonderful Album      Rating:      I love this collection. The best of Jimi in a concise package with some not overly popular songs (ie manic depression.) Only gripe is that fast food commercials have ruined it for me. Everytime I listen to it I have visions of Whoppers floating in the air. Sigh...I guess that's what happens when coporatations sell your image postumately.     Customer Reviews for The Ultimate Experience Cd      You'll Just End Up Buying the Albums...Trust Me      Rating:      I used to own this album, but I traded it away. Why? Because Jimi is too talented for a compilation! This one was good enough to convince me that I need to invest in his real albums. Editorial Reviews for The Ultimate Experience Audio Cd      Amazon.com      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
