Smash Hits

Smash Hits stands as one of the earliest compilations of Jimi Hendrix’s work, notable for its focused selection rather than an expansive approach. This album features the most recognizable tracks from Hendrix’s catalog, primarily drawn from Are You Experienced?, along with the rare non-album tracks “Red House,” “51st Anniversary,” and “Highway Chile.” While these additional songs have appeared on later compilations, their inclusion here adds value. Smash Hits may not be indispensable, but it offers a concise and accurate overview of Hendrix’s most iconic songs in a single collection.
