Essential? Not really, although this is a pretty good "hits" package for the new Hendrix listener, as an introduction to Jimi's music. But the regular Hendrix fan will not be as satisfied with it, how can a package call itself essential when it doesn't have songs like "Red House" on it? Like most of the older issues on Reprise, this one is out of print, although still fairly easily to find in stores.
