Jimi's First Publishing Contract Signed

Jimi Hendrix , The original agreement between James Marshall Hendrix p/k/a Jimi Hendrix and Yameta Company Limited of Nassau Bahamas for the publishing rights in association with Schroeder Publishing Company Limited dated 16th February 1967 whereby it was agreed that in consideration of the sum of one shilling a composer, Mr Hendrix, hereby assigns to the publishers the full copyright for all countries in the musical composition. The contract then lists all of the songs that were performed on Jimi's first album including 'Purple Haze' Foxy Lady' 'Wind Cries Mary' 'Manic Depression'. The two page fully inclusive contract is signed across a one penny postage stamp by Jimi Hendrix. Due to the fact that Jimi had both jammed played and recorded with other bands prior to performing the experience this particular contract is controversial in the fact that during the time of signing Jimi was still under contract to PPX records based in New York. The consequence in signing this contract was to create a subsequent law suit between PPX and Yameta / Warner Brothers Disputing the argument of Who Owned Jimi Hendrix. As a result of the pending case Jimi Hendrix awarded a future album's worth of music to PPX as compensation for breaching his recording contract. The absence of this contract has been the subject of several legal disputes since Jimi's death over who is legally entitled to administer the estate and whom in fact should be receiving royalty payments. A recent case saw the emergence of John Hillman, a Yameta executive who made the claim in the British courts that as the only surviving Yameta Director , he in fact, was the guardian and executor of all Yameta business. The long on going case and conspiracy claims to this day still fascinates Hendrix officianados.
