Hendrix auction set to be biggest in rock history
A series of around five auctions will be held at the re-launched Marquee Club where, before it moved location, Hendrix once gave some of his most electrifying performances.
The collection, sold by an anonymous American, is so huge that so far only a fifth of it has been brought to Britain and the founder of auction house Cooper Owen, Ted Owen, has spent a year sorting through the pieces which number more than 20,000.
