Publishing and production entity for Yameta brand.
Yameta was first a partnership of Bryan “Chas” Chandler and Mike Jeffery, the former later passing his holding to Jeffery after stepping back from management of Jimi Hendrix.
Yameta was 90% owned by businessman John Hillman, based in the Bahamas. The company effectively "employed" the management duo and artist. There followed a complex legal battle involving Yameta, dissolved in 1976, compounded by the untimely death of Hendrix and then Jeffery, whose estate held the works. Al Hendrix settled a deal to hold the works for the Hendrix family but, in 2005, Hillman re-assessed his music rights and assigned them to Purple Haze Records.
This was then contested by the family/Experience Hendrix.
On some Hendrix releases (e.g., Axis: Bold as Love), the company is incorrectly credited as: "Yaneta Co. Ltd." (typo).
Please also consider Yameta, Yameta Co., Yameta Music or Yameta Publishing Co. when shown that way on release.
