I think this is a good deal... I went on to djangos.com, and they are selling this Hendrix box set for 39.99... 6 discs, spanning 1968-70 with previously unreleased tracks. My interest was piqued because my husband is a huge Hendrix fan, and I bought him the Jimi Hendrix Experience box set a few years ago. That was a great box set. This sounds amazing as well. Anybody got it already?
