Jimi Hendrix wrote Purple Haze, or at least finished his fantastic song in Forest Gate, East London, whilst back-stage waiting to go on at the Upper Cut Club in 1967. This homage to Hendrix, uses a technique known as split-fountain for the psychedelic ‘Rothkoesque’ coloured background. Was he high-on-acid when he first performed the song. Is it a drug reference or simply a love song?

The large ‘A’ Letter is Cameo or White-Letter woodtype, followed with large 1920’s Gill Sans

woodtype.
