In yet another attempt to rob the grave of Jimi Hendrix, Ocean Tomo LLC, a merchant bank that specializes in intellectual property, will be auctioning off a track entitled "Station Break," which was recorded in 1966, prior to Hendrix being discovered by Chas Chandler, who took Jimi to England and teamed him with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell. "Station Break" is really just a Curtis Knight record with Hendrix playing guitar on it. There are already hundreds of compilations containing this material that merchants can't give away (though I am partial to Get That Feeling because it contains the sublimely silly "Simon Says," but it is hardly what you would term essential). Why anyone would pay a dime for this track is beyond me.
Really, I'm just trying to drive down the price so I can buy it cheap.
