JH x65 Yameta Anim Offices 39 Gerrard Street W1D 5QD

The scene of many deals involving The Animals and Jimi Hendrix including the first contract tying the Jimi Hendrix Experience to Anim for a seven year period. The first floor office was the nerve centre of Mike Jeffery's (and later, when he arrived from America with a young guitarist in tow, Chas Chandler's) empire in central London. In addition to more formal business, many interviews were conducted here. This was also the home to the Jimi Hendrix Fan Club during its early years. When this office closed and Jeffery moved his operation to America, the Fan Club was accommodated in Track Records' offices in Old Compton Street (entry 68). Coincidentally, the basement housed Ronnie Scott's Club until 1965 and the building would later be home to Terence Donovan's Studio. Now, as you might expect in the heart of Chinatown, it is an Asian restaurant.
