Hendrix Family Files Suit Over Live Recordings

The family of rock legend Jimi Hendrix is taking legal action over the rights to the soundtrack from two London concerts in 1969.

The rocker performed a brace of nights at the Royal Albert Hall venue, and representatives for the Hendrix Estate are adamant it owns the audio recordings of the shows.

They have now filed suit against an unnamed company, whose representatives claim the Purple Haze hitmaker signed over the rights to the recordings for use in a movie, according to Tmz.com.

Lawyers for the Hendrix Estate are demanding the administrators are legally deemed the owners of the recordings, and want $2 million (£1.25million) in legal costs and expenses.
