Purple hoorays are due for Jimi Hendrix, who would have been 80 today (November 27). To celebrate, Chronicle Chroma and Experience Hendrix have put together a new photobook simply called JIMI – a comprehensive visual celebration of Hendrix featuring rare photographs, personal memorabilia, lyric sheets and quotes from the likes of Paul McCartney, Ron Wood, Dave Grohl and more.
Take a sneak peek at some of those rare Hendrix photos in our gallery below:
