The world's largest collection of Jimi Hendrix rock memorabilia, believed to be worth more than £8m, went on display in London on Friday. Hundreds of unseen pictures, film footage and original recordings will be exhibited at the revived Marquee Club in central London over the weekend. The venue is one of the first places Hendrix played in the UK. The items are part of a collection amassed by fan Bob Terry, which is due to be sold off in 2005. Mr Terry collected memorabilia for almost 40 years after seeing Hendrix play live in 1967. The exhibition at the Marquee Club is just one-fifth of the £15m collection, which Mr Terry sold in 2003 to an anonymous American buyer.
