DISC & MUSIC ECHO by David Hughes:
“There [Top of the Pops 24 August] was Peter Murray, cool, calm and confident, announcing after a great build-up – ‘the fantastic Jimi Hendrix Experience’. A slight pause, and then out came the familiar opening chords of...’The House That Jack Built!’ (Alan Price). Meanwhile cameramen, apparently unperturbed, carried on happily with the Hendrix camera routine, while Jimi looked on amazedly, fiddling with his guitar and finally muttering: ‘I don’t know the words to that one, man.’ Back to a rather off-guard and less calm Peter, a few hasty words and the position was rectified. Alan Price couldn’t have cared less: ‘I thought it was all very funny - after all, I got an extra plug for nothing!’ But Jimi Hendrix was a less happy man:... ‘ Burning The Midnight Lamp’ is difficult enough as it as and I was all cued up ready to say the words nice and clear. This really threw me - mass confusion, man!”
