A Jimi Hendrix Experience set of autographs and Mitch Mitchell concert-used drumsticks, 1968

Three separate pieces of lined notebook paper; each signed by a member of the band; the first penned in blue ballpoint ink reads "Love to you / Fore / Ever / Jimi Hendrix" [sic]; the second penned in red ballpoint ink reads "Best Love / Noel Redding;" the third also penned in red ballpoint ink reads "Stay Beautiful / Love / Mitch;" mounted together with a pair of Arbiter 'Ringo Starr' model drumsticks with a placard reading "Mitch Mitchell Concert used drumsticks Gothenburg, Sweden 4 January 1968;" autographs also obtained at the same time, according to accompanying paperwork. This particular concert is infamous because Hendrix was arrested later that night for trashing his hotel room and was later fined $2,500 -- a relatively large sum in 1968.

Matted and framed: 30 x 23in; Jimi's autograph: 7 1/2 x 6in

Used on Electric Ladyland, as stated by recording engineer Eddie Kramer in this November 2005 Sound on Sound interview.

While Hendrix's amp was screened off in the studio and miked with Neumann U67s, Mitch Mitchell's kit was positioned on a riser within a roofed, open-sided booth to give it depth and miked with a combination of U67s and AKG C12s.
