Editor’s Note
This article details an upcoming auction of Jimi Hendrix’s personal effects, offering fans a rare glimpse into the life of the legendary guitarist through both significant and everyday items.
Fans of Jimi Hendrix will have a unique opportunity. On November 15, a collection of personal items belonging to the legendary musician will be auctioned in London, ranging from recordings of unreleased songs to simple dry cleaning receipts, invoices, and handwritten forms by the guitarist.
The auction, organized by the specialized site Propstore, will take place on November 15 and will be broadcast live. Among the main highlights of the event are a series of rare tapes with master recordings, many of which contain unreleased songs by Hendrix.
In addition to those recordings, the items to be auctioned include personal documents such as payment receipts for him and his bandmates, dry cleaning bills, and handwritten forms, like one in which the musician requests his birth certificate.
The items up for auction come directly from Patricia “Trixie” Sullivan, who worked with the famous guitarist’s manager, Mike Jeffery, which ensures their authenticity.
Among the most striking items in the collection are payment receipts for Hendrix and his band, dry cleaning bills, and details of his tours. These simple objects allow for the reconstruction of fragments of Hendrix’s daily life, a little-known side of the rock legend.
Also to be auctioned are the artist’s tour itineraries, which provide a detailed perspective of the hectic pace of life Hendrix led in his final years. His solo career was brief but very intense.
Before his tragic death in 1970 at the age of 27, Hendrix had an active career of only four years. In that short time, the musician born in Seattle revolutionized popular music, combining rock, blues, soul, and jazz into unforgettable ballads. His legacy lives on, and the auction of these personal items is proof of the impact he had on music and culture.
The auction of Jimi Hendrix’s personal items will take place on November 15 in London, with a live broadcast so interested parties from anywhere can participate. Through Propstore’s official website, collectors can follow the event and place their bids. In addition to the Hendrix lots, items from iconic figures such as Michael Jackson, Oasis, Queen, Arctic Monkeys, and John Lennon will also be auctioned.
