Vivid video is set to release a sex tape supposedly starring late guitar great Jimi Hendrix having sex with two brunettes. The film will be 45 minutes long, but it’s only 11 minutes of sex without audio and the rest is about Hendrix’s career.
The NY Times notes that the film has been out for years and that no one is quite sure it’s actually Hendrix in it, because you only see the guy’s face for a few seconds and his eyes are closed. Vivid claims that it’s really him, though, and say they did research and hired private detectives to verify Hendrix’s identity. No one knows who the two women are in the film.
The film was found among some other rock memorabilia bought at auction in London and was simply labeled “Black Man.” Women who slept with and knew Hendrix don’t all agree that it’s actually him, and fans say that the man in the film wears unfamiliar jewelry:
The DVD includes commentary from two women who met Hendrix and say they believe the tape is real: Pamela Des Barres, the author of “I’m With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie” (1987), and Cynthia Albritton, better known as Cynthia Plaster Caster. Ms. Albritton is known for doing plaster casts of the genitals of rock stars, including Hendrix in 1968. (Mr. Hirsch said both women were paid for their contributions to the video but declined to be more specific.)
“I’m 100 percent sure it’s him,” Ms. Albritton, 61, said in an interview from her home in Chicago. “The facial bone structure is the same. The eyebrows and the mustache are true to the style he was wearing in 1970.”
But Kathy Etchingham, 60, one of Hendrix’s steady girlfriends during the ’60s, said via e-mail after viewing still photos from the film at the request of a reporter: “It is not him. His face is too broad and nose and nostrils too wide for Jimi. Also the hair is too low on the forehead.”
“He would never have allowed anyone to see that,” she said in a telephone interview. “In private he was very shy and would cover up.”
The film has also been dismissed by Hendrix collectors and historians. One expert said that the rings the man in the film is wearing do not resemble any he had seen in years of studying pictures and film of Hendrix. Charles R. Cross, author of the Hendrix biography “Room Full of Mirrors” (Hyperion, 2005), encountered the film during his book research. “It doesn’t add up to Jimi,” he said.
As a fan, he said, he felt the film was “horrible to watch,” as he thinks the man appears to be on drugs or heavily intoxicated. “I don’t want that to be what I think about when I think about Jimi Hendrix,” he said.

The “Marilyn Monroe Sex Tape” story came out earlier this month, but was thought to have been a hoax. The story was that a collector bought a silent BJ tape supposedly featuring Marilyn for $1.5 million, but Defamer says that the person who broke the story, memorabilia collector Keya Morgan, is less than believable and his story doesn’t add up. Even if it is true, the tape will never see the light of day.
In this case you can’t really tell whether it’s Hendrix in the video and there’s a lot of controversy over whether it’s him or not. Even if it is, it doesn’t sound like it’s much to watch, and I know I would feel kind of weird seeing it. Maybe it will be a decent seller for Vivid since people are still interested in him and he was renowned for being well endowed.
You can see what Hendrix’s uh, manhood looked like if you’re so inclined. A woman nicknamed “Cynthia Plaster Caster” started making plaster casts of famous musician’s erect penises in 1968. The cast she made of Hendrix’s in February, 1968 was one of her first and she calls it the “Godfather of Whopper Choppers.”
Jimi Hendrix passed in September, 1970 at the age of 27. He choked on his own vomit which contained a lot of red wine, but it is unclear what other drugs he was taking or what preceded his death.

research purposes!Yeah, I don’t think Jimi or MM’s images will be affected by these rumors
-
I also checked out the website, purely in the interest of science, of course, and was disappointed. I thought he was supposed to be huge. Height of cast 5-7/8″? WTF?
-
I thought it was girth, rather than length, that allowed him to, er, stand out from the crowd….although 6 1/4 inches (had to go back in to check that) isn’t really exceptional. Anyway, I’m sure the real one was much more attractive.

I personally, wouldn’t mind seeing this video at all. I find it facsinating to see how celebs behaved back in the 60’s when they weren’t on the set of the “Late Show” or on stage at a concert. I know a sex-tape isn’t exactly “regular-day-life” but the way the historian said it’s clear Jimmy was intoxicated (which he is KNOWN for so I don’t know why it bothered that guy so much to remember him that way) would be interesting to watch for some reason.

I just want to take a moment to say that I like our new spammer - she writes coherently, in full sentences, she even fooled me for a couple of posts. Much better than the old spammers.

I’m with mollination - I don’t wish to be disrespectful to the memory of Jimi Hendrix, but I’m somewhat “fascinated” as well. TMZ had a teaser clip of it, but it was a great big nothing. I don’t know why (the alleged) Jimi’s intoxication bothered that guy so much, either - DUH, wasn’t he in that state fairly often? He also probably knew he was being filmed, so, whatever….

The estate have said everything but call this an out and out fake.
It must be real
-
http://www.jimpress.co.uk/latestnews.html says all you need to know about this story. Vivid have taken 11 minutes of video of some anonymous guy and got all the publicity they could ever crave. Scandalous.

For research purposes, I went to that Cynthia Plaster Caster link. It looks like something left over after a bunch of pre-schoolers had finished their morning play-dough session.
If this video is of Hendrix, and it sounds like it’s not, it’s not going to make any different to his legacy anyway. That’s intact.
