Surprised by the comments — seems many people never heard of this album?? I've owned it for years, it's hit or miss throughout, but I like it well enough that I keep it in my collection. BTW it came out in 1993 (not 2005 as shown). —the Hey Baby track by M.A.C.C. (Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam) is my favorite, and love Eric Clapton's Stone Free. Body Count & Pretenders are great too.

very interesting comments. Most of the Hendrix fans like this cover while most of what seem to be die-hard Cure fans don't. To me, I always had a respect for the Cure, but this rendition (it's a rendition, people, not a cover) raised my respect for them about 10-fold. Can you imagine being asked to do Purple Haze?? What are you going to do? I say take it apart and put it back together - almost (but not really) a different song. It's got the same soul, the same spell, but technically (musically) new. Job well-done. I know it's not the Cure's usual but I always thought they were kind of stuck in a schtick.
