In 1966, Jimi Hendrix burst on to the London music scene, blowing away the likes of the Beatles, Eric Clapton, and the Rolling Stones. There was simply no one else with Hendrix's blend of emotion and toughness: a blues sensibility filtered through the latest electronic effects. This collection of images follows Hendrix's career from the earliest London shows and the 1967 tours to 1968-69.
Marcus Hearn is the acclaimed author of Titan's The Art of Hammer, Hammer Glamour and The Hammer Story (with Alan Barnes). His other books include authorised biographies of filmmakers George Lucas and Gerry Anderson, and Eight Days a Week, the story of The Beatles' final world tour.
