Broken Hallelujah

The world's largest collection of Jimi Hendrix memorabilia (over 20,000 items) are to be sold from next year at what is being billed as the world's biggest rock auction. It includes up to 300 hours of video footage, 60% of which has never been seen before.



A 1965 Fender Stratocaster guitar - scratched by Hendrix's rings - also features in the collection, and is expected to fetch £250,000, while a Cherokee Indian jacket, reflecting Hendrix's roots, is thought to be worth £30,000.



It also features 3,800 albums from around the world, posters, tickets, handbills, and most of Hendrix's own personal tape collection. (Surprisingly, the items weren't very expensive at the last auction I saw of his online, but it also didn't offer the major stuff of his either. Wouldn't I love to have that White Strat.)
