A Jimi Hendrix pop-up store will open in Soho, London, for the first 12 days of April.
The store, to be located at 8 Ganton St., comes as Hendrix’s posthumously-released album, “People, Hell and Angels” becomes the legend’s highest charting album since 1969. That album will be available at the Soho store, along with Hendrix’s full back catalogue in CD and vinyl, including items never released in the UK. It will also sell limited edition merchandise, including clothing, art, lyrics/chord books and guitar accessories.
In this month's Audience With Sinéad O'Connor, she's asked about her traumatic appearance at the all-star bash at New York's Madison Square Garden, put on by Columbia Records to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dylan's debut album for the label.
Jimi Hendrix was keen to work with manager Chas Chandler and get back to more structured recording shortly before he died, Eddie Kramer has told Uncut.
The engineer, who looks after Hendrix’s legacy as part of the Experience Hendrix organisation, says: “Before Jimi died, in 1970, he sought Chas’ counsel. I think he wanted to put back the old team.
“He’d learned from the experimentation and realised he needed Chas – but he had to come to that realisation himself.”
