the disc is mostly different versions of songs readily available on other (better) posthumous compilations like

First Rays of the New Rising Sun
South Saturn Delta
Blues
Radio One (2 disc BBC Sessions)

if you're just getting into Hendrix you could do worse than picking up Valleys of Neptune, but there are better albums out there, and there's absolutely NO REASON to start with a posthumous collection if you don't have the Experience albums first, same with the more popular live releases (Woodstock / Winterland / Band of Gypsies).
