Thoughts on this Jimi Hendrix

This item is up for sale at RR. It doesn't look remotely right to me. It supposedly has a COA from Tracks, but the signature and backstory seem all wrong. The individual who got the autograph pulled into the same gas station as Jimi Hendrix, and asked him for an autograph. So, either he or Jimi just happened to have a record release photo handy for the occasion. Then, like all good autograph hunters, he signs his own name on the photo. So, what do you think?

Woooooow...!!! :(

Clearly one of the two is a copy of the other. I mean, a copy of a fake? ("Excuse me, what...?"). Regrettable.

Thi is is hard... hard to say real or fake... i want something more... this is an easy signature on white paper without story, date, dedication... without other signatures of Mitch or Noel... hard say real or fake... for me is more real...

Yeah, I would say it's 75% real roughly. The calligraphy is close, except for the inconveniences I said above and that you've said, it could be real. But I have doubts though.
