Footnotes

Provenance:
This was signed by the Experience in January 1969, whilst on tour in Germany. The band stopped in the spa town of Baden-Baden, intending to visit the Casino in the Kurhaus complex but were apparently denied entry due to their dress. They therefore went for a meal at the Stahlbad restaurant instead, which was run by the vendor's grandparents, her grandfather being a 2 Michelin Star chef. It is believed this is one of the largest examples of Jimi Hendrix Experience autographs to appear at auction.
