MCA's Hendrix 8LP set

i'm trying to expand my vinyl library to better justify the $3k i'm likely to spend on a new analog front end this year.
can anyone tell me anything about this lp set?
are the recordings mastered well? from what sources? are they worth having? i'm considering this as a start to a hendrix section of my lp collection.

also, how are the recent pressings from columbia? i.e. Dylan's Love and Theft, self titled and Another Side of Dylan?

can anyone comment on the classic pressings of zeppelins catalog and muddy's folk singer? any classic recommendations for my tastes?

can anyone advise on really, really killer reissues or sources for the blues on vinyl. classsic, alto, analogue productions, dcc, tomato, etc. i'm new to this and don't want to waste my precious money on crap. on the other hand, i don't mind saving dough for gems.

if it helps, i tend to look for the following artists:
lightnin' hopkins, memphis slim, furry lewis, albert king, sonny terry, willie dixon, neil young, bob dylan, zeppelin, john mayall, johhny winter, muddy waters, john lee hooker, bb king, albert collins, tom waits, you get the picture...

thanks in advance
