Original UK Palace Video Promotional Poster
“For The First Time On Video”
A vibrant slice of mid-80s Hendrix memorabilia, this original UK promotional poster was produced by Palace Video to promote the first home video release of Jimi Plays Berkeley in 1985.
Bursting with psychedelic colour and classic Hendrix imagery, the artwork features Jimi in full late-60s glory with his white Stratocaster against a surreal ocean-wave backdrop — complete with a hidden Statue of Liberty motif and bold electric-blue palette that screams vintage video-store era cool.
Issued in limited numbers to video retailers and promotional outlets, this is a fantastic crossover collectible for Hendrix fans, rock poster collectors and lovers of classic VHS-era design.
