wait, is this(scroll down) what it is?
""High Boots" is a December 12, 1963 recording by Robert Van Houten, with The Soft Parade Orchestra, responsible for the 1968 album by the Doors. Curtis Amy, a trombone player, played saxophone. This is the first song that Jimi Hendrix recorded with Robert Van Houten - Hendrix played his signature guitar, but also played base in the song.
When the Scopitone for "High Boots" came out in 1965, the remaining members of RVH filed lawsuits sighting copyright infringement. The reason: Scopitone "misused" the song in their project, and instead of even a RVH impersonator, they used a man now known as "Eraserhead". They all soon settled out of court but the Scopitone itself won favor of its collectors."
