Johnaga-ga:
I'm a bit confused. You want the 'chain of copyright title.' By
chain, do you mean the history of ownership ? In otherwords, are you
looking for a record saying something to the effect of Jimi Hendrix--
> Hendrix's estate? Or am I missing the mark?
Second, Jimi Hendrix seems to be the principal claimant, according to
various records from the copyright office. I am assuming you're
looking specifically for the Stockholm Concert history --
"Purple Haze Records claim they owe the rights to the Hendrix
Stockholm concert and have released a CD of the show. "On 1st December
1966, James Marshall Hendrix, known as Jimi Hendrix, signed a contract
with Yameta Co Ltd" Lawrence from Purple Haze Records tells Undercover
News. "This contract was for all activities including performance,
recording, writing, production and all media within the entertainment
business. In 1975, after Hendrix died, the rights that belonged to
Yameta Co Ltd were transferred to John A Hillman, who had set up
Yameta and ran the company throughout. The license given to Purple
Haze Records Ltd is directly from John A Hillman, formerly (c) (p)
Yameta Co Ltd, the rightful owner of all Hendrix material"."

Please let me know if I'm off. I should be able to provide more
information with a bit more clarification.
