The family of guitar legend Jimi Hendrix has triumphed in a legal wrangle over the sale of a bootleg album.

The live disc - titled JIMI HENDRIX STOCKHOLM CONCERT '69 - was illegally recorded in Sweden a year before the tragic rocker died of a drug overdose.

However, a ban has been imposed by a London High Court Judge on sales of the CD - and English company Purple Haze Records have been ordered to pay damages of up to $28,500 (GBP15,000).

Hendrix's family also successfully sued the owner of Slough-based Purple Haze Records, LAWRENCE MILLER.
