Jimi Hendrix "Valleys of Neptune"

So this guy has been dead for nearly 40 years... what gives? His record label is just now releasing. It is good, but it really isn't anything "new". But it does introduce more people to his music. I don't know about the whole "selling something after the man is dead" thing but the music is good. In fact it is better than 90% of the music that is out there right now. So is that saying something about how good he was or how low we have sunk? I'm not sure.
