What's next, a Rat Pack orgy on reel-to-reel?

In the wake of the reported sale of a sex tape that allegedly featured Marilyn Monroe, a porn film distributor today started selling purported footage of deceased icon Jimi Hendrix having sex with two women in the late 1960s.

Porn giant Vivid Entertainment, which has also released tapes of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, Kim Kardashian, and many others, is selling the Jimi Hendrix the Sex Tape DVD on its Web site for $39.95, and will distribute the tape to adult retailers starting May 6.

The 45-minute DVD combines 11 minutes of sex footage with a career retrospective and interviews with rock groupies Pamela Des Barres, the author of I'm With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie, and Cynthia "Plaster Caster" Albritton, best known for her plaster casts of the genitals of rock stars, including Hendrix.

The trailer for the film, available on the DVD's Web site, shows a naked man who resembles Hendrix having sex with two brunettes in a dimly lighted bedroom. His full face appears on screen for only a few seconds, with his eyes closed. The film has no audio.

But the footage has circulated among Hendrix fans for years, and the identity of the man in the film has been widely disputed. But Vivid insists the tape is authentic, claiming it acquired the film from a collector of rock-and-roll memorabilia for an undisclosed sum.

"This new movie shows that Jimi Hendrix could have been as great a porn star as he was a rock star," Vivid cochairman Steven Hirsch said in a statement. "He could clearly play more than just his guitar. It's easy to see that he turned women on with his music and his passion."

Both Des Barres and Plaster Caster confirm Hendrix's identity on the DVD, and both were paid an undisclosed sum for their participation.

"No doubt about it," Plaster Caster says in the film's trailer. "That's Jimi Hendrix' d*** and I should know."
