The audio cassette containing the project for one of Jimi Hendrix's albums!

On the 45th anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix, the greatest guitarist of all time, an incredible find has come to light.
This find - a cassette with something like 40 minutes of Jimi Hendrix recordings! It comes from a fan of Hendrix, who has kept it for over 40 years since it was delivered directly from a friend in London.

This friend, in turn, has given this tape to Salvatore Garau, drummer with the Stormy Six.

The recording took place roughly in 1971 as the basis for a posthumous album.

Among the pieces you can recognize variations of Blue Suede Shoes, Born to Hootchie Kootchie Man and Electric Ladyland.

Some pieces are studio recordings, others were played in small concerts. The most interesting aspect is that they have not been remastered.

In the recording, Hendrix does more than just sing and play: he jokes around by doing an imitation of Donald Duck, while he also counts in his band and scolds his drummer.

This is the original recording and although it is a very old piece, it is still in excellent condition and fully functional.

Franco Fabbri, one of the most authoritative musicologists in Europe gives his thoughts on the cassette:

“It is a copy on a chrome cassette, of professional quality, of a probable master for an album containing Hendrix’s unpublished pieces. Some of them look and sound like rough-mixes of studio recorded pieces which were never published like a particularly long and very well recorded Hoochie Coochie Man. The quality and the choice of these pieces tell us that the cassette is likely to come from professional environments close to Hendrix’s entourage, or to his record company or to recording studios where all the pieces (except one which is a live version) were recorded. The scheme is similar but not identical to the scheme of a posthumous album published in 1974, Loose Ends.

As the cassette is certainly before 1974, and as it is also sure that it isn’t a copy of a disc, we can presume that it was made to circulate in professional environments the project of a posthumous album, probably Loose Ends itself which was then carried out incorporating other marerials.”

Salvatore Garau has decided to auction this item to support NAM - Nobel a Mogol.

Conditions: The winner will be notified via email and will receive the item within 10 working days of the auction closing. Need more information? Email [email protected] or ring us on 0203 301 5800.

原因

Nobel a Mogol (NaM), or Nobel to Mogol, is a nonprofit organization founded by three friends, Nanco Paoletti and journalists Milo Goj and Nestar Tosini. For years they have interpreted and studied the lyrics of the late, famous Italian singer Lucio Battisti, whose songs were written by Giulio Rapetti Mogol. Mogol has also written songs for many other Italian singers that have become great successes over the past 50 years: from Bobby Solo to Little Tony, Riccardo Cocciante and Adriano Celentano.

As they studied Mogol's songs, the three literati reached the conclusion that many of his texts were in all regards authentic poetry. If poetry means turning feelings, moods and states of being into words, then Mogol is certainly a great poet. Such verses as, "When sadness falls upon the depth of your heart, like the falling snow it make not a sound," leave nothing to be desired. They are right on par with even the most well-known and appreciated "traditional" poetry. He has written so many of such verses that a publication of them should be made.

Mogol is therefore a great poet whose works match up to those of other Nobel prize authors. The Nobel to Mogol Association aims precisely at persuading public opinion to create a movement to nominate Giulio Rapetti Mogol for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
