Jimi Hendrix ‘Smash Hits’ To Be Reissued With Alternate Cover

September 6 has marked several pivotal moments in music history, from landmark chart successes to the birthdays of future icons. On this day, The Beatles dominated the UK charts, Jimi Hendrix performed a career-shaping set in London, and Elton John scored hits that would cement his place as one of the world’s greatest songwriters. Roger Waters, David Allan Coe and Dolores O’Riordan were all born on September 6, each leaving a lasting imprint on rock, country and alternative music. With legendary performances, celebrated births and classic album releases, September 6 is a day that continues to resonate across decades of music history.

A fresh and intimate window into Jimi Hendrix’s New York chapter has arrived with the nine-minute short film Jimi Hendrix’s New York, a companion piece to the expansive Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision deluxe box set.

A recording of Jimi Hendrix performing The Beatles ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ at the Hollywood Bowl on 18 August, 1967 has just been officially released.
