I really didn't find anything surprisingly good on the album. Valley of Neptune is definatley the highlight. It was okay.

"Cry Of Love" was largely superseded and even surpassed (same material and then some, better master by original engineer Eddie Kramer) with the "First Rays Of The New Rising Sun" and "South Saturn Delta" releases, both of which I listen to more often than the original records (though I've played all those inside-out long ago) ... also, both of those were Hendrix Family releases, as is "Valleys"

"Valleys" does not play like an album the way "First Rays" or "South Saturn" does ... but it has some amazing arrangements of Stone Free, Ships Passing (Nightbird Flying on First Rays/Cry Of Love) and others which, along with more Kramer-ized tones, make it well worth the purchase for any obsessive fan. Less committed listeners should maybe stick to "Smash Hits" and "Band Of Gypsys" with maybe "Axis" for the adventurous

Oh, and roughly 1 in 3 songs really probably didn't need to be there (Fire, Red House) ... but they're at least quality as unnecessary tracks go, and some of them are growing on me (Sunshine Of Your Love, as good as almost any of their live versions and recorded better)
