JIMI HENDRIX 'Reality TV' Footage To Be Released

March 23, 2009

Guardian.co.uk reports that candid, "reality TV"-style footage of Jimi Hendrix at home, backstage and "hanging out" will soon be released, according to the late musician's sister.

The footage dates from 1969, when a camera crew followed Hendrix for a month, catching him both on and off stage. The Hendrix estate will release the footage in a DVD later this year, as part of a new deal with Universal Music Publishing Group.

Universal is taking over from Sony/ATV Music Publishing, who have represented Hendrix outside of the USA since 1998.
