"It's difficult now to understand how revolutionary this music sounded in 1967. Nothing quite like it had ever been done before; it became the sound of a generation and spawned a thousand imitators of the Hendrix style, none a patch on the unique original. Hendrix raised the bar on what could be done with an electric guitar, and has never been surpassed or equalled." "These songs pound, smash, crack, whirl, cringe... they're totally unbelievable. Here Jimi's only purpose was to display all his talents as a guitarist."

"Jimi plugged in his instrument, and revolutionized hard-rock, guitar mastery and gritty psychedelia. You've never heard a guy more equally equipped with soul, swagger and prowess. This is truly a landmark recording, and one which everyone must own."

"In 1967 rock music changed forever, at a very fundamental level. Rock went from being a mostly pop medium of jingly accessible three minute tracks meant to please young ears and make the record companies money, to being a true form of artistic expression, and is so doing it became rock." Purple Haze."
