    Yeah, Jeffrey Hedquist, "a nationally known Folk singer and Impresario at WRUC radio". I posted this on page two a few days ago.
    Maybe he just decided to circulate them. In any case, a great find.

    In Curtis Knight's book "Jimi", he says that they made "shirts and jackets" out of the leopard skin-look material. Mystery solved!
    I learned that thanks to Jas Obrecht's new book "Stone Free".

    Ah, cool.
    I wonder about the date of these photos. Curtis Knight & The Squires played at Cheetah from May 12-18 (Thursday to Wednesday).
    Perhaps this is from the weekend after, 19th (Thursday), 20th (Friday) or 21st (Saturday)?
    Before the notoriously cheap Curtis took back the shirt :).

    The jacket you mean!

    All the band are wearing the Cheetah jackets there but it isn't The Squires. Jimi might have had Knight loan them to the band for the gig. Speculation.

    Yeah.
    It does look like the rest of the band, from what little is visible, is wearing the jackets.

    Could this solve the mystery of what happened to the stereo mix of Axis side one that Jimi lost? It was a pickup routine - he left it in some “bird’s” car only to never see it again?

    I would think any 2 track tape that Jimi Hendrix took home after that session would be just a rough mix down. :laugh:

    Over at earlyhendrix.com are press cuttings which reveal that Curtis Knight called his band The Lovers for a short while!

    Knight also called the band The Lovelights (as can be heard on the Georges Club recordings) and of course The Squires.

    Yes, I noticed Niko's update! We get to know more and more about this period.
    Interesting that The Lovers/Lovelights/Squires backed other singers too.

    Anyone know where Univibes got the Ronettes 26 February 1966 date from?
