“JIMI HENDRIX THE SEX TAPE” FROM VIVID ENTERTAINMENT REVEALS HARDCORE SIDE OF ICONIC ROCK LEGEND

Sexumentary to Hit Stores on Tuesday, May 6th

LOS ANGELES - (April 30, 2008) - Jimi Hendrix, the iconic rock ‘n roll guitarist, will be seen in a new role - as an adult film star - in “Jimi Hendrix The Sex Tape” to be released online at Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape today, Tuesday, April 29th by Vivid Entertainment, the world’s leading adult film studio. It will be available in stores across the country a week later on Tuesday, May 6th.

Vivid obtained the footage from a collector of rock ‘n roll memorabilia. It was shot about 40 years ago in a hotel room as Hendrix had an erotic liaison with two slender brunettes. When the footage starts, Hendrix appears mellow while on the receiving end of bi-racial lovemaking from the two girls. In contrast, his enthusiasm to give back pleasure appears to be boundless.

The Vivid DVD is a sexual documentary that gives insight on the uninhibited rock ‘n roll scene of the Sixties. The company consulted with several experts to authenticate the footage and the movie features commentary by two of the experts that Vivid brought in: Pamela Des Barres, author of “I’m with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie” and other books, who teams up with Cynthia Plaster Caster, famous for creating plaster molds of the penises of rock stars, including that of Hendrix. We learn more about the sexual side of Hendrix’ music through the commentary from both women who knew him personally.
