Record companies were breathing a sigh of relief this week, after the news that a lawsuit about performers’ property rights to the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s albums was defeated in London’s High Court.
The case was focused on the deal Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell had signed in 1966. The relatives of the two musicians, who died in 2003 and 2008 respectively, were arguing that they were owed a slice of the performers' property rights relating to the three Experience albums – Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland.
