London
(ANI):
Jimi
Hendrix
fans
need
to
think
long
and
hard
before
putting
down
cash
on
the
legendary
guitarist"s
sex
tape,
for
there"s
a
chance
it
maybe
a
fake.
A
porn-flick
company
Vivid
Entertainment
in
Los
Angeles
have
released
a
sex
tape
showing
Hendrix
getting
it
on
with
two
naked
ladies
in
a
barely-lit
bedroom.
But
one
may
not
be
able
to
distinguish
whether
the
man
whose
face
appears
only
for
a
few
moments
is
him
or
not.
However,
Vivid
found
former
groupies
ready
to
swear
the
tape
is
real,
but
paid
them
for
their
wisdom.
"I
believe
that
we
did
our
due
diligence,
and
as
a
result
of
that
clearly
believe
that
it's
him," the
Independent
quoted
Steven
Hirsch,
co-chairman,
as
telling
New
York
Times.
"If
they
said
that
it
wasn't
him,
I
would
never
have
put
it
out,"
he
added.
Howie
Klein,
a
broker
who
first
brought
the
reel
to
Vivid
said
that
the
tape
it
came
to
him
via
a
collector
who
grabbed
it
at
a
London
auction
of
rock
memorabilia.
The
tape
was
inside
a
tin
box
labelled
'Black
Man".
Hendrix"s
ex
girlfriend
Kathy
Etchingham,
60
said
that
she
is
not
convinced,
insisting
that
the
looks
were
not
right,
with
the
face
a
little
off
and
the
hairline
too
low.
"He
would
never
have
allowed
anyone
to
see
that.
In
private,
he
was
very
shy
and
would
cover
up," she
said.
The
tape
does
not
have
any
audio
and
even
the
view
of
his
face,
with
eyes
closed,
is
fuzzy
due
to
poor
lighting.
However,
there
are
frequent
glimpses
of
his
hands,
with
many
large
rings
on
his
fingers.
Hendrix
liked
to
wear
rings,
so
it
could
be
him.
Cynthia
Albritton,
also
known
as
Cynthia
Plaster
Caster
for
her
collection
of
plaster
casts
of
the
genitals
of
ageing
and
long-dead
rock
stars,
including
Hendrix
said
that
the
person
is
him.
"I'm
100
per
cent
sure
it's
him.
The
facial
bone
structure
is
the
same.
The
eyebrows
and
the
moustache
are
true
to
the
style
he
was
wearing
in
1970," she
said.
