Chandler & Jeffery - co-managers

Jeffery hired a series of recording engineers to capture Jimi's sounds in many different studios in Europe and the U.S. For these first four posthumous Hendrix albums shown above, Jeffery hired Ed Kramer to engineer the recordings. In his biography of Hendrix, Kramer takes credit for choosing some of the songs. But that's not the role of a hired recording engineer. Kramer was Jeffery's employee, paid a flat fee, he had no percentage stake in the ongoing sales of these records. Mike Jeffery did have percentage at stake and he had the authority to override Kramer's advice, or anyone else's suggestions. That Kramer would later credit himself (after Jeffery died) for some song selections on those albums benefited his career and reputation as an engineer, and Jeffery is not here to dispute it. But it makes no sense for Jeffery to farm out decisions that were going to have a huge effect on his business of marketing Jimi's unheard songs. I worked on 14 official Hendrix CDs and I know that the song list is the pride and province of the executive producer. I also know that Jimi's long-time British girlfriend told me that Hendrix regarded Kramer as little more than the manager's janitor. She said Jimi called Kramer the chimney sweeper of the studio!

If you listen to all of Jimi's unreleased music, a feat that takes, under typical conditions, several months to do - comparing so many different versions of songs, multiple vocal takes and dozens of guitar tracks to evaluate, it's clear that there were extremely high chances of using one of the lesser tracks for those first four posthumous albums. This pitfall became painfully obvious after 1996 when the criminals who today control Jimi's releases were put in charge of choosing songs for release, after Paul Allen paid millions to have me removed from the Hendrix company. All of those beautiful album tracks hand-picked by Mike Jeffery are today replaced by the dullard's collection - fantastically bad and inferior versions of Jimi's music seemingly randomly thrown together by leather-eared assassins of the Hendrix legacy. That's all that's available of Jimi's "official" music today.

To have the ability to recognize Hendrix at his best is a thankless job of a million curses. An organized ZOO of collectors are ready to condemn whatever selection you make simply because you, and not them, is in the position to make the decision.

After working with these people for decades I became suffocated by the awareness that most Hendrix fans can't distinguish between his performances of acutely concentrated inspirations, and his going-through-the motions exercises in exhaustion. The syndrome is painfully on display today at Youtube - to look at all those tracks that collectors post online, people new to Jimi's music have pretty much zero chance of ever finding the magical recordings that originally shattered our senses four decades ago. The music that Jimi himself authorized, followed by Mike Jeffery's truly inspired collections of posthumous Hendrix albums, have been absolutely lost and buried beneath an avalanche of mediocre versions which simply irritate most of the unfortunates who stumble upon them. Hendrix has thus been consigned to the dustbin of history at the hands of Paul Allen, head of the collectors who subconsciously seek to "take Jimi to their graves" and make sure future generations never get the "good stuff."

The Martyrdom Of Mike

Before being killed in a plane crash in March 1973, Mike Jeffery had assembled one last posthumous Hendrix album, which was released a year later, titled Loose Ends. As with the four prior Mike Jeffery compilations, I am again struck by an amazing sensitivity to prioritizing in his selections - as if he was counting down a list of "most critical songs to release in this order" for Jimi's final legacy. His choices were just so correct, and in the right order of logically diminishing relevance. Album chart positions and number of records sold don't matter in this regard. The point was to recognize the gem tracks amidst tons of lesser attempts. My life's experience has proved to me that very, very few people can do that when it comes to Jimi.

Hendrix albums never again cracked the Top-5 on Billboard charts until Alan Douglas produced Crash Landing in 1975, followed by the albums I put together in 1990 (Cornerstones) and 1994 (:Blues).

It was through familiarity with all of Jimi's music that I came to reject the notion that Mike Jeffery killed Jimi. Those early posthumous Hendrix albums could only have been assembled by someone extremely close to Jimi.

So then, what is the meaning of a roadie, in 2009, many decades after Jimi's death, claiming Mike Jeffery killed Hendrix? His book is called ROCK ROADIE. "ROADIE kills ROCK Star" is the subject, two years earlier, of my movie. My film is the real target of the roadie's book. My movie "plays with the evidence" to suggest new scenarios about how Jimi died, because we don't know which scenario, if any, is true. There is only a (substantial) body of non-conclusive evidence and details. For near four decades there have been about a half dozen different scenarios for Jimi's death that the known evidence suggests might be plausible. But the nature of the evidence is such that I wouldn't even prioritize which of the scenarios are more likely than others. Conclusions are so elusive, in fact, that when considering possibilites impartial people can assemble connections to suggest suicide.

Here are the most probable theories listed alphabetically:

1) Accident - A possibility that Jimi chugged/gulped the wine to wash down Monika's sleeping pills. Not getting to sleep, but groggy, he may have forgotten he already took pills and in a stupor took more off the night stand. He might've dozed off with the bottle positioned to tip off balance at some movement.

2) Anti-counterculture person(s)/group - The summer that Jimi died in 1970, Woodstock was the hit movie, climaxing with his rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. At the same time, Jimi's new album reached the Top-5 on Billboard charts and featured has anti-war anthem Machine Gun. Hendrix was the Golden Calf, Prophet-In-Chief, High Priest centerpiece of an extremely controversial, divisive anti-war hallucinogenic hippie counterculture. They did not label his music "acid rock" for nothing. He was Poster Boy for a vast subculture that millions of straight people hated, detested and were threatened by.

3) Jealous lovers - Jimi's promiscuity is reported to have included spouses of other men, one of whom may have came back at him.

4) Mafia - Hendrix & Jeffery owned a recording studio in an area of New York's Village that was controlled by organized crime. The studio had just opened in August 1970 and was attracting media to the block.

5) Mike Jeffery - The guy in charge of the money is a logical suspect.

6) Monika Danneman - Jimi died in her flat with her sleeping pills in his system. Her story of what happened changed several times and witnesses contradict her accounts. She expected Jimi to marry her and had a loud fight with him just hours before he died. It's tempting to suspect her of avenging "Teutonic honor" over an indiscretion from Hendrix by spiking his drink/meal with her sedatives, to keep him there in hopes the situation would change the next day. It's also easy to envision her complicit in bungling some attempted rescue after an accident and covering her tracks. Maybe she caused the accident to happen and hastened Jimi's demise by her reaction.

7) Roadies - Jimi's tensions with his roadies are explained in my movie, as Mitch Mitchell said, "The Star Complex."

Monika herself pointed an accusing finger at the roadies' behavior at Jimi's death scene:

"Stickells and Barrett took Jimi's stuff, like messages. That was funny, that was so strange.
They only were interested in the messages Jimi had received...I do believe he got poisoned"

- Monika Dannemann

It's this last scenario that's my original theory, as my film shows a ROADIE ROCK star murder. "ROCK ROADIE," the book, is a response to my movie. It's a fake platform to elevate the 75 WORDS TRANSMITTED BY H.I.M.M. TO SEED THE WEB, designed to co-opt the effect of my film and discredit its premise (the "ROADIE"), funded and promoted by moguls who hate Rock Prophecy. "ROCK ROADIE" is such a hoax book that it shows us fake, doctored-up pictures of the author supposedly in the 1960s, yet we see a coffee mug with the logo "I Love New York" (the slogan wasn't created until 1977).

ROADIE'S REVENGE - A Pawn in the Mogul's Game to Discredit My Movie About Why Jimi Died

They paid to "seed" the internet with 75 words and have hundreds of websites train readers to blame "the manager" for the death of Hendrix, with no evidence, but loads of motive to divert us from my work which shed new light on how Jimi died. In 1991 and 1992 I wrote the first series of articles that revealed much new details about how Jimi died. That information presented, while I was employed by the official Jimi Hendrix estate production company, instigated a Scotland Yard investigation into the death of Hendrix.

It's about MEDIA CENSORSHIP and unjust moneyed moguls who pay to frame Jimi's death in ways that exclude my research and credit others for my work.

"The authority [on Jimi's death] is Tony Brown, whose exhaustive book, The Final Days of Jimi Hendrix, came out in 1997. The ambulancemen and police who found Hendrix are interviewed." - The Times, London July 4, 2009

The Times doesn't realize that Tony Brown's been dead since 2001, eight years ago. What they DO realize is that my website proves I am the authority on this issue, and they've determined to cover it up and credit an English collector, Tony Brown, who was a friend of mine. I have dozens of hours of recorded phone calls between Tony and me from the years when we researched Jimi's death. My published reports were the first to present the new information in 1991-92, including the "ambulancemen and police" interviews. These are facts of published history which they deny simply by pretending it doesn't exist - to them, the evidence is only to be suppressed so they can keep concealed Rock Prophecy.

When Paul Allen paid millions to prevent me from becoming the next director of the Hendrix estate production company, just about everyone in the Hendrix collectors' network said to themselves, "Michael Fairchild has a billionaire paying big money to destroy his career - I better stay away." Tony Brown was among them. When Tony's book about Jimi's death came out in 1997 I was appalled to see all of my previously published work laid out in it but no mention of my name anywhere in the book. Tony and his publisher were following the lead of Paul Allen's Experience Music Project "Hendrix Museum" in Seattle, which got their central Hendrix collections from my agenting work and nowhere in that trash castle is my name listed among the "thanks" for making their atrocity possible. Because of Mr. Allen's media empire, open season on stealing my work is protected and encouraged - that entire generation of media professionals follow his example to persecute and hurt my work simply out of jealousy that anyone really see Jimi in this way, which is the right way…much more about this later…
