Additional comments
Following concerns quite rightly raised about duplicated content between this article and the book, I did a history search on the text, looking for the run "recording regimen" and find it entered in this edit in 2006. The red flag there: it didn't enter as one piece of cloth, but was edited from what already existed. If you look at the content as it appears in that book, which also purports to have been created in 2006, you can see that the changes in that incremental edit are all in that source. I took the text string as it appeared before that change--"went from a disciplined recording ethic"--and followed it backwards from there. It was added earlier that month by an IP. Already in the article at the time of that addition, we find "relatively narrow neck", which text is present in that book on page 32, along with the surrounding material. A search for that in the article finds it entering in July 2004, several years before The Essential Jimi Hendrix was published. Already in the article at that time is the phrase "slipped into his bag by a fan without his knowledge" which is on page 21 of the book. This is all strongly suggestive of natural evolution here. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:23, 29 July 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Good Article Nomination

[edit ]

This is a really great article that good authors have clearly devoted a lot of time to. It should be nominated for Good Article Review. Reeeeet (talk)It just needs something about when he started going by "Jimi." NjtoTX (talk) 23:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Any editors interested in another source?

[edit ]

I found a copy of Guitar World from July 1995 ("The Battle for Jimi's Soul: Who owns Hendrix's Music") that has multiple features on Hendrix:

  • Hendrix Goes to Court: Al Hendrix is locked in a legal struggle with his longtime lawyer. At stake are all the recordings of his son, Jimi.
    • Includes an interview with Alan Douglas
  • The Hendrix Sessions: A behind-the-scenes look at the historic recording sessions for "Purple Haze", "Foxy Lady", and many other Hendrix gems

I would be happy to provide other editors with the contents of these. Phorque (talk) 09:29, 10 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
