Jimi Hendrix's version of 'Stone Free' alone, originally released in 1966 as the B-side to the iconic single 'Hey Joe', is expected to fetch at least £200.000 at auction
Newly discovered recordings of the rock legend Jimi Hendrix will be auctioned 54 years after his death, with the 1978 demos being sold as part of a wider auctions Hendrix memorabilia.
Among the recordings on offer are versions of "Up From the Skies", "Little Miss Lover" and "Ain't No Telling", which are said to differ significantly in both sound and length from the versions that are known.
Mark Hochmann, who works as a music consultant for auction house Propstore, told The Guardian that the recordings would give the buyer the opportunity to "boast that he has his own Jimi Hendrix songs that only he can listen to".
"Superior" versions of existing songs
"These versions have never been heard before, have never been broadcast, and are very different in sound and length from the official versions," claims Hochmann.
He described those demos as "much tighter and smoother".
“You can hear more guitar, which is what Hendrix was known for. Experts who have heard the recordings agree that they are far superior to all other versions of those tracks".
The memorabilia is being sold by Patricia "Trixie" Sullivan, who worked for Hendrix's manager Mike Jeffrey in the late 1960s and early 1970s. She found the material in Jeffrey's office after his death in 1973.

The members of the legendary German avant-garde rock group "Faust" recorded four exciting solo albums and released them on the same day. The exceptionality of this event is contained in the fact that the group has not existed for a long time, but all four founders, after a long break, worked together again, extending the duration of their visionary work deep into the XXI century.

There is, literally, no difference between the one who claims it is day in the middle of the night, or the one who claims to be a giraffe, from the claims we read on billboards: that Vučić is working to unify Serbs and that Serbia is doing better and better day by day.
