Distinguishing yourself in the colorful musical climate of 1967 wasn't easy.

A number of classic rock artists highlight the list of exclusives on tap for Record Store Day 2015, which takes place on April 18.

On March 24, some of Jimi Hendrix's earliest recordings will be released as You Can’t Use My Name: Curtis Knight & the Squires (Featuring Jimi Hendrix) - The RSVP/PPX Sessions.

When a guy can play "The Star-Spangled Banner" with his teeth, you don't haggle over his booking fee.

His name is Mark, and although he's only got one arm, he can still shred better than most players out there.

Jimi Hendrix introduced his new group, The Band of Gypsies on New Year's Eve 1969. He was heading into the new decade with a new band and new musical direction he was fine tuning. The live album from this concert is great and really shows Hendrix taking things to the next level, if that's possible...

'Jimi: All Is by My Side,' the biopic about Jimi Hendrix that was released earlier this year, will come out on DVD and Blu-ray Jan. 13, 2015.

Classic rock will be well represented in this year's Black Friday Record Store Day releases, which will include special collectible vinyl from Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Joe Satriani and more.

Long before Jimi Hendrix's vaults were raided for every last burp and fart he committed to tape, 'The Cry of Love' and 'Rainbow Bridge,' both originally released in 1971, were the pinnacle of unreleased Hendrix recordings.

In a way, humanity is still trying to catch up to its futuristic musical vision.
