A pretty good collection for the uninitiated to Hendrix is this one...

Disc one is studio stuff...disc 2 is a live compilation. It has some from Monterey, Woodstock, the Berkeley shows and more....it even has the 'Hear my train' version I like so much....I'd recommend this first...to someone who has NO Hendrix....but then..I'd say...get everything he's put out..after that.
