Short story:
At ANIM Management, 39 Gerrard St, London, UK, discussions are held about managing the newly formed Jimi Hendrix Experience.Full article:
Chas Chandler : When I came back to England, [The Animals' manager) Jeffery said to me, 'Strictly speaking, you are still signed to me and anything you do, I've got commission on it. I'll tell you what - I'll put Eric Burdon And The New Animals with The Alan Price Set into a pot, and you put Jimi Hendrix and his group into the same pot, and we'll share it 50-50.'
I knew what I wanted to do, and that was produce Hendrix. I knew very little about the business, only what I thought should be done with an artist but, when it came to negotiating contracts, I thought, 'Well, Jeffery can do that, and I'll do this.'
Lulu Appleton (clothes designer) : Jeffery had thick pebble glasses; he was distinctly unattractive. He had a little house behind Holland Park - it was always a mess. He never looked you in the eye. Half the time he didn't know what the hell he was doing. He was the quintessential parasite manager who had struck lucky.
Daniel Secunda : (producer/manager, Track Records) I was at Track right from the start. I'd known Chas Chandler for years, and he was a real salt of the earth, honest, no-nonsense Newcastle lad. Jeffery, on the other hand, always remained a Man Of Mystery. You'd hear these stories that he'd worked for MI5, or he was involved with the IRA, but nobody seemed to know for sure.
