Story & Background
"Strange Things" from 1968, released by London, is a key example of the complex legal and contractual vicissitudes that plagued Jimi Hendrix's discography. These recordings date back to his period as a guitarist for Curtis Knight, long before his fame with The Experience, and were made on a shoestring budget in Ed Chalpin's PPX Enterprises studios. After Hendrix's global explosion, record labels worldwide, including London (in its American incarnation), rushed to release these sessions, often re-labelling them misleadingly to highlight Hendrix's name. The artist himself, furious at the quality, which he considered poor and unrepresentative of his genius, undertook long and costly legal battles to prevent their publication and distribution. This record is therefore an eloquent testament to the incessant commercial exploitation Hendrix suffered, transforming a simple sessionman's work into a perennial source of controversy and an object of historical curiosity for the most astute collectors, who recognise its documentary value despite its questionable origins.
