It seems probable that this cheque is associated with Hendrix's guest appearance on the album McGough & McGear, recorded on 19th January, 1968 at De Lane Lea studios in London. Apple Music apparently paid for the sessions. It's likely that the cheque was for a share of the studio time, or the hire of an instrument. It's interesting to note that on February 27th, 1968 a copy of Jimi's bank account which shows the deduction of this sum also reveals that his balance at this time was only £481.19.

Jimi Hendrix had great admiration for The Beatles' work and in turn earned enormous respect from them. The Jimi Hendrix Experience's first album Are You Experienced? released in May 1967 was only kept out of the No. 1 chart spot by The Beatles' formidable new release Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and remained at No.2 for the summer of 1967. Much to The Beatles' delight, Hendrix covered a few of their songs in concert, initially on the 4th June 1967, only three days after the release of their album he performed Sgt. Pepper at the Saville Theatre. Day Tripper was another Beatle hit that Hendrix frequently covered in his live performances.
