Review: I was excited about getting this book, because I'd read Lewisohn's similar book on the Beatles. I love chronological order, and I tried to put a date to each song on Hendrix's first three albums. But what was disappointing was that McDermott seemed to forget to mention several song and their recording dates. But the text is otherwise great reading, and the photos are wonderful. I just wish it truly was "Complete" as the Lewisohn book seems to be.

Summary: Worth having, but slightly disappointing

Summary: nice book!
Review: It's a great book for those who like jimi hendrix.It explains how, where and when jimi has ever recorded his songs. Although, it's an overdetailed book that will annoy who's not a loyal fan...

Review: This is a great book written in chronologic style detailing the creation of some of the greatest music ever made. This book is often hard to follow and somewhat incomplete but there are many bits of information to satisfy all levels of Jimi fans and some great pictures. I really enjoyed reading this book and especially liked reading about Experienced, Axis, and Ladyland.
