Jimi Hendrix
Soundtrack Recordings From The Film 'Jimi Hendrix'

[Album; Compilation; Soundtrack]
?? July 1973
Classic Rock

'Soundtrack Recordings From The Film Jimi Hendrix' is the soundtrack to the documentary film 'Jimi Hendrix' (1973). The double album contains the full-length live performances from the film and some clips from interviews (though not necessarily from the film). The album peaked at number 89 on the Billboard album chart, which generated concern at Reprise Records that repackaging old material would no longer satisfy the fans of Jimi Hendrix.

James Marshall 'Jimi' Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, songwriter and singer. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as the greatest and one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music."
