Hi Paul

At the time i did not know anything about him it was just a normal night down one of the clubs near me lots of clubs in those days. I had not heard of him or any music by him I do remember being gobsmacked by what I heard and saw I never moved from my spot for the show .The Ricky Tick was above a shop at the end of hounslow high street it was very small all painted jet black walls with brightly coloured jazzey caricatures all over the walls and a very floppy floor when the bands where on the floor moved a lot if i remember right thats why it closed down .At the time i was in a band from school after that night my music tastes changed completly we even did covers of some of Hendrix songs

at that time not many people liked Hendrix if fact most people thought it was just noise luckily for me i loved it

I didnot have any albums by him before that night so thats why I stuck it to the album after

regards

David

It is a wonderful item and a personal time capsule for you - I agree with Joe. Leave as is and enjoy as is! Love it. Thank you.

HI Eric

Thankyou for all the kind words everyone has said this is the first time i have every been on internet chat i read other peoples chats and advise but have allways been put off chatting when the negative chats happen.I did this because hopefully this will help others who are trying to get Jimi's signature to not get duped.Something I have noticed about a lot of the fakes is look at the I,s dot Jimi was left handed the dot flows left to right not right to left as seen on a lot of the fakes also the whole thing is very smooth and fluid either that or I got Jimi on a nice day when he was not rushed I still think mine is the best one ive seen

I have no intention to change anything because it is so important to me .Everytime I get this album out it does something to me I have to touch the signature and talk to Jimi

I know I'm completly nuts but it does that to me I have always said I will leave it to my son when I go he can then decide what happens next i am quite old now so it wont be long

Regards

David

Hi, that is not nuts at all. I mentioned "personal time machine" and I was going to ask you what you feel when you hold it and here you've answered already :) Thank you. You are not old, you are cool! Online talking about meeting Jimi and getting his graph? That's cool!
