Hendrix estate wins payout in tapes battle

Jimi Hendrix's estate has won $900,000 (€66,700) in a four year-long court battle over the illegal sale of lost concert recordings featuring the guitar great.

Hendrix's family won the court battle against music entrepreneur Ed Chalpin, who was attempting to profit from recordings made when Hendrix was an unknown guitarist, in 2003 and the British businessman was ordered to pay Experience Hendrix L.L.C. $592,800 (€440,000).
