Utter bollocks.

Go listen to the first Experience album and then go listen to First Rays of the New Rising Sun which was the stuff he was working on just before he died.

There's a world of difference.

Plus you're failing to take into account that Hendrix sounded groundbreaking on his first album while the Beatles first album was filled with standard rock n roll covers of the day.
