Issued while the group was still active, 'Smash Hits' served as the very first compilation to collect the groundbreaking early singles of The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The record features ubiquitous cultural touchstones like 'Purple Haze' and 'The Wind Cries Mary', many of which had previously been unavailable on their formal studio LPs in certain markets. It presents a flawless, concentrated summary of the power trio's revolutionary fusion of electric blues and psychedelic rock.
