You Can't Use My Name: The RSVP/PPX Sessions is a posthumous compilation album by Curtis Knight and the Squires. Except for "Gloomy Monday" (recorded in 1967), the album compiles recordings made by Knight in 1965 and 1966, with Jimi Hendrix providing backup guitar before he moved to England to start the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Knight wrote and sang all of the songs, except for four instrumentals, which are credited to Hendrix... 

Curtis Knight (May 9, 1929 – November 29, 1999), born Mont Curtis McNear, was an American musician who is known for his association with Jimi Hendrix. Ed Chalpin (January 16, 1935 – October 1, 2019 ) was a record executive and producer. He is most remembered for his association with Curtis Knight & the Squires which caused problems for Jimi Hendrix throughout his career. Chalpin is responsible for the recordings from that period, some of which appear on You Can't Use My Name: The RSVP/PPX Sessions...

After years of litigation, Experience Hendrix, a family company that has managed Hendrix's recording legacy since 1995, acquired the sole rights to the Knight/Ed Chalpin/PPX material. According to producer/engineer Eddie Kramer, You Can't Use My Name presents the best available original recordings without the subsequent doctoring.
