The latest preview for the upcoming Jimi Hendrix album 'Both Sides of the Sky' is a previously unreleased version of “Lover Man.”

Four unreleased Jimi Hendrix 16mm color films were posted on eBay recently and fetched $10,000 when the video reels sold during the final hours of a ten-day auction. The seller, aware of the concert films one-of-a-kind value started the bidding price at 10K and a sole bidder committed to pay that, in return to own this historic Hendrix memorabilia.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience ‘Electric Ladyland’ UK vinyl sold for 1,250 British pounds (nearly $2,000) last week during an eBay auction.

Back in the old days, promoters would pay no attention at all to musical styles when they put a tour package together..that is why Jimi Hendrix opened for the Monkees or why the Yardbirds opened for Gary Lewis and the Playboys!  Now we have The Beach Boys and Alice Cooper!!!???.

In the halcyon days of progressive FM rock radio, it would not be uncommon to see, say, Tina Turner or Stevie Wonder open for the Rolling Stones. Or Jimi Hendrix open for The Monkees.
