Since the death of Jimi Hendrix, more than 300 albums have been released in his name. Anyone who thought they caught half a solo on tape, rushed to the pressing plant. Now the official back catalogue is in the hands of the family. Earlier this year relatives of Hendrix won a battle giving them the rights to an Internet address bearing the artist’s name. A United Nations arbitrator ruled that www.jimihendrix.com belonged to the family of the late rock star. It had been registered by American Denny Hammerton, but at a hearing in Geneva, the World International Property Organisation ordered him to surrender ownership, claiming that he had no legitimate interest in the name.creditbbc
