JIMI HENDRIX's Family Wins Bootleg Case

February 25, 2005

World Entertainment News Network is reporting that the family of guitar legend JIMI HENDRIX has triumphed in a legal wrangle over the sale of a bootleg album.

The live disc — titled "Jimi Hendrix Stockholm Concert '69" — was illegally recorded in Sweden a year before the tragic rocker died of a drug overdose.

However, a ban has been imposed by a London High Court Judge on sales of the CD — and English company Purple Haze Records has been ordered to pay damages of up to $28,500.

Hendrix's family also successfully sued the owner of Slough-based Purple Haze Records, Lawrence Miller.
