September 18, 1995, marks the 25th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's untimely demise. To commemorate this event, the authors have revised and updated over 200 pages of Electric Gypsy, the record of Hendrix's legacy as the music world's most talented guitarist.
From Library Journal:
Shapiro and Glebbeek, founders and curators of the Hendrix Information Center, have created a magnum opus that is at once both the definitive biography and reference work on guitar genius Hendrix and his band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. In addition to a 500-page biography, this Hendrix cornucopia offers all the bells and whistles of a 100-page discography, with over 200 photographs, mementos and pieces of correspondence, a detailed chronology, and a unique appendix delineating Hendrix's guitars, equipment, and playing techniques, all of which contain sumptuous notes. Of the Hendrix mystique and deification since his death at age 27 in 1970, the authors write, "it would be a fitting tribute to Jimi's memory if his substance could begin to predominate over his image." Shapiro and Glebbeek have made a contribution of inestimable value toward this goal. One of the year's best popular music biographies and a mandatory purchase for all libraries. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 3/1/91.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Caesar Glebbeek, as founder of the Jimi Hendrix Information Centre, has access to an enormous archive of Hendrix material which brings this book as close to the living legend that was Hendrix as will ever be possible; every interview and article ever published, together with letters, poems, and lyrics in Hendrix's own hand plus unpublished diaries and memoirs and brand-new interviews with over a hundred close associates of the great musician. Caesar Glebbeek's unique contacts have opened doors until now stubbornly closed to all enquiries - Jimi's father, for example, who at last "wants to set the record straight", his stepbrother, and his fellow musicians. Every aspect of Hendrix's short but impassioned life will be explored, and the evidence of what really happened laid before the reader. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002953421
