RARE JIMI HENDRIX RECORDING ON AUCTION BLOCK



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – This could be music to the ears of Jimi Hendrix fans: A rare recording of the rock legend playing funk is on the auction block. The 4-track reel-to-reel recording features Hendrix playing lead on an unreleased tune called “Mojoman” and was recorded in 1969 by a group known as the Ghetto Fighters. Although the recording hasn’t been heard for more than 30 years, the owners are now selling the master rights to the song to the highest bidder on eBay. Experts say “Mojoman” is an especially rare recording because it’s the only time Hendrix recorded with the famed Muscle Shoals rhythm section, who played on some of Aretha Franklin’s biggest hits. The auction ends June 21.
