Description

A week before Woodstock—Hendrix returns from Paris

Exceptional DS, signed “Jimi Hendrix,” one page, 8.5 x 11 (with 8 x 5.75 showing), August 7, 1969. A typed receipt on Michael Jeffery Management, Inc., letterhead. In full: “Received from Bob Levine $200.00 (Two Hundred) in cash on return from Paris.” Impressively double-matted and framed with a series of artifacts to an overall size of 30 x 24, including an original glossy photo of Hendrix, an original Woodstock ticket, an original Woodstock pin, a peace symbol pendant made from part of the fencing that surrounded the Woodstock festival, a bright red facsimile signature, and two miniature guitars. The document remains fully intact within the frame and is in fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.

Hendrix had left for a vacation to Mogador, Morocco, on July 30, arriving back in the United States on August 6; his flights had layovers in Paris. This document dates to an extraordinary moment in music history—the week before Woodstock. Hendrix was scheduled to perform ten days later on the 17th, but did not take the stage until the next morning. Complete with original Woodstock artifacts, this is an absolutely spectacular piece epitomizing the legendary rock guitarist. Oversized. Please contact RR Auction for a shipping quote. Pre-certified REAL.
