Eric Barrett: "We had to re-build the equipment. A guy from Long Island called Tony Frank, who was a genius with amplifiers built 'em up for us. I explained the problem, that Jimi played everything at number ten on the knob - bass, treble, everything. I said the amplifiers were not lasting more than one show, and they just burnt out.
Tony stripped it all down and built 'em up. He cranked everything up and one afternoon at a sound check Jimi tried it out. It worked.
We tried Sunn amplifiers, and Jimi just burnt them out. So we stuck with Marshalls. Jimi always used them... If I tried to test his equipment, all I got was feedback. Jimi could control it all with his fingers, and I still don't understand to this day how he did it. It was all part of his genius."
The apartment on 23 Brook Street, London was found by Kathy Etchingham in an advertisement of one of London's evening newspapers in June 1968, while Jimi was in New York. He moved briefly in July before returning to the United States for a major tour. He spent some time decorating the apartment to his own taste, including buying curtains and cushions in the nearby John Lewis Department Store, as well as ornaments and knick-knacks at the Portobello Road Market. He told Kathy that this was my first real home in my life.
