NEW YORK (AP) - An auction at Christie's of rock 'n' roll memorabilia from some of the hottest bands of the 1960s and '70s hauled in big bucks Friday, including $20,000 for a Jimi Hendrix album and more than $4,000 for a Rolling Stones' T-shirt.

A copy of Hendrix's "Axis: Bold as Love" album from 1968 - inscribed "Thanks for everything" and accompanied by three color photos of the rock star - sold for double its pre-sale estimate of $10,000. Three cardboard posters for Hendrix concerts in 1968 and 1969 fetched $10,625, $16,250 and $18,750.
