West Coast Seattle Boy: The Jimi Hendrix Anthology is a posthumous box set by American blues-rock musician Jimi Hendrix. The set was released on November 16, 2010, in the US and includes four discs of previously unreleased studio and live recordings as well as a DVD with a documentary based on the life and career of Hendrix directed by Bob Smeaton called Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child.[4]

Disc one documents Jimi's time as a backing guitarist for other musicians.

A single disc "Best Of" edition is also available, with or without the documentary. The box-set is available in a deluxe edition featuring eight 12" vinyl LPs.

All recordings were done prior to Hendrix's death.
