CLASSIC HENDRIX (DELUXE)

The Ultimate Hendrix Experience

Another rapid seller and all the Deluxe copies were gone soon after being announced.

We drew on our past for the stunning binding of this limited edition utilising the silkscreened aluminium covers with leather spine technique that received so much acclaim for the binding of our John Lennon title Sometime In New York City. The Regular copies of 'Classic Hendrix' also feature this innovative metal and leather binding and a few copies remain.

The Deluxe copies were numbered 1 to 350 and supplied in a full leather box blocked in six fluorescent colours. This distinctive package also included a signed Baron Wolman image of Hendrix, unique to the Deluxe copies. Six different coloured ribbon markers also adorn each Deluxe book.

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry kindly wrote a foreword to Classic Hendrix and autographed each Deluxe copy.

Classic Hendrix was published late in 2004 after our Bob Marley limited edition Rebel Music. Both titles appeared to critical acclaim but our Marley title attracted higher levels of media interest. This was largely due to the fact that the press had become 'Hendrixed-out' from devoting much coverage to the Hendrix exhibition and auction which preceded our launch. It's all about timing. Remarkably, we still have in stock a handful of the Deluxe copies of Rebel Music signed by Eric Clapton. This is a superb volume and an important item for any collector's library.
