fremont's group The Best of Jimi Hendrix (CD, £6.95)

Widely regarded as the best set of Hendrix covers ever recorded, this obscurity was in fact by cult hard rockers the Chico Magnetic Band, and originally appeared in France in 1971. Far more adventurous than most tribute albums, it treats the songs as starting points for adventurous jams, making it a must for all fans of wild hard rock. Tracklisting: 1. Hey Joe 2. Fire 3. The Wind Cries Mary 4. Can You See Me? 5. Purple Haze 6. Red House 7. Crosstown Traffic 8. Up From The Skies 9. Highway Chile 10. Foxy Lady 11. Voodoo Chile 12. Stone Free.
