May 16, 2022 Record of the Day

“Hey Joe” was the first single put out by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It tells the tale of a fugitive on the run after killing his wife. Not exactly what top 40 radio was looking for in 1967. It was also the last song performed at Woodstock. The 45, released on Reprise Records, is worth up to $150.00. And the picture sleeve for “Hey Joe” is worth up to $700.00 today.
