There are also numerous other documents signed by Brian, Mike and Dennis as officers, as well as a stock certificate specimen and other related bu unsigned items. January 1, 1964 found the Beach Boys as American's hottest band. In February, the Beatles landed in America and the Beach Boys saw therir chart dominance quickly erode. These first few months of 1964 would be critical for the Beach Boys long-term success. Brian Wilson was burned-out on doing albums full of simple surf and car songs. He wanted to transition the bankd from simple pop performers with nice harmonies to sophisticated innovators with complex studio arrangments. It is now April 2, 1964. Brian and the group are in the studio starting to work on the breakthrough album he has in mind. Two major events happen that day -- the basic tracks for major hit "I Get Around" are laid down and their manager, Murray Wilson (father of Brian, Carl and Dennis), is fired. As Brian said later: "We finally said. 'Look, we can't deal with you any more. We've got to let you go and get a new manager.'" The album they worked on these first few days of April turned out to be "All Summer Long," their best effort to date. This was also the week in which they incorporated themselves Beach Boys Entertainment Enterprises, Inc. as documented in this unbelievably rare group of documents naming the four related group members to the Board of Directors. In excellent condition. A rare opportunity to research the legal history of such an important and legendary band.With COA from PSA/DNA.Not Sold. |

| 21016 | Irving Berlin Signed Letter With Photograph (1940). Easily the most successful songwriter of the 20th century, Irving Berlin spent the better part of his career writing songs to be used in Broadway and Hollywood musicals, but is better remembered for the songs themselves than for the shows and movies in which they were used.

| 21020 | Big Bopper Handwritten Lyrics. Original working manuscript of J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson's song "Walking Thru My Dreams."

| 21215 | Bono Autographed Guitar.

| 21216 | Jerry Lee Lewis Bassist J. W. Brown's 1955 Fender Bass. In 1957, a young studio musician named Jerry Lee Lewis went into Sam Phillips' Memphis studio with his uncle J.W. Brown on bass, Jimmy Van Eaton on drums, and Roland Janes on guitar, and cut a rock version of a song called "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On". The rest, as they say, is history. Here is the 1955 Fender bass guitar played by Brown behind Lewis on stage, in recordings and in the film, High School Confidential (1958). J. W. Brown is famous for another reason as he was the father of Myra Gale Brown, the 13 year old cousin that Jerry Lee married in the late 1950s. Though his inner circle recommended keeping the marriage quiet, Lewis insisted on taking his child bride with him on a trip to England. The British press found out about the marriage and pounded him, causing Lewis' early return to the U.S., where word had spread like wildfire. His career fell apart even quicker than it had risen and it took years for Lewis to get back to the level of stardom he once had. This lot includes a number of photos of J. W. Brown holding, playing and signing this rare old Fender bass. Also included are photos from a Smithsonian-sponsored exhibition featuring this bass and a letter from the Smithsonian Curator of Cultural History mentioning it.Not Sold. |

Oddly enough, he actually started with the accordion as a kid, then switched to violin and cello before settling on bass. Since then, he has made a name for himself in commercial music, doing television and film scores. This piece has a pristine finish and is in superb condition. With COA from PSA/DNA.Not Sold. |
| 21220 | Creedence Clearwater Revisited Signed Fender Guitar. At a time when rock was moving further and further away from its roots, Creedence Clearwater Revival brought things back to basics with their combination of rockabilly, bayou pop, R&B, and country. A couple of decades after the band split, bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford formed de fact tribute band Creedence Clearwater Revisited and went on the road. This Candy Apple Red Fender Squire guitar has been signed on the body by Cook in black marker. An excellent piece. With COA from PSA/DNA.Sold for: $262.90. |
| 21221 | Doobie Brothers Signed Guitar.

Featured is a pale yellow Gibson Explorer electric guitar used during a 1993 Super Bowl performance and signed by band members Mick Fleetwood, Billy Burnette, Bekka Bramlette, John and Christine McVie, and Rick Vito, as well as by actor Gary Busey. With COA from PSA/DNA.Sold for: $2,629.00. |
| 21224 | Blue's Legend Lowell Fulson's 1966 Gibson ES-335 Guitar (1921-1999). Very few people can lay claim to a career spanning six full decades and including every type of blues imaginable. Very few guitar models have been around for 47 years and can still excite both new players and legendary veterans. Put the two together and you have an important, historical offering. Up for bids is the Gibson Cherry Red ES-335 (Serial #856890) instrument that Lowell Fulson purchased new in 1966 and played until 1997. Can you imagine the blues licks played on this instrument? Lowell Fulson was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma growing up on local area blues and Bob Wills' Western swing. He toured with Texas Alexander in the early 1940s, then served a stint in the Navy. After that, Fulson moved to Oakland, California, hooked up with Bob Geddins and the 78 RPMs started rolling out including the big hit "Three O'Clock Blues", later covered by B.B. King. In 1948, he switched over to Swing Time Records and the hits really began to flow - such as the immortal "Every Day I Have the Blues", "Blue Shadows", "Lonesome Christmas", and an instrumental, "Low Society Blues", played on by pianist Lloyd Glenn and alto saxist Earl Brown. From about 1950 on, Fulson toured extensively with band members inlcuding Ray Charles and Stanley Turrentine. He signed with Chess in 1954 and recorded the classic "Reconsider Baby", cut in Dallas under Stan Lewis's supervision with a sax section that included David "Fathead" Newman on tenor and Leroy Cooper on baritone. It became a massive hit and Elvis Presley covered it in 1960. Another label change (to Kent) brought him his biggest hit, "Tramp", which was written and recorded using this very guitar. Fulson continued to perform and record using this Gibson as his main guitar until poor health forced his retirement in 1997, the year he sold this guitar to the present owner. Included with this lot are photos of Lowell playing and signing this awesome instrument as well as his signed affidavit dated August 1997 certifying authenticity. Few players and few guitars can stay contemporary with style changes over such an extended period of time - here's an amazing combination that did just that.Not Sold. |
| 21225 | Grand Ole Opry Signed Guitar. For more than 80 years, the Grand Ole Opry -- the world's longest running radio program -- and its television spin-off has been the venue for aspiring and established country musicians alike, and countless performers have performed on it and received their big break in the process.

An excellent item for country music afficionados. With COA from PSA/DNA.Not Sold. |
| 21226 | John Lee Hooker Signed Guitar. To paraphrase Time magazine, John Lee Hooker didn't just sing or play the blues, he was the blues. Known as the king of the endless boogie, Hooker recorded such classics as "Boom Boom Boom," "Boogie Chillen," and "I'm In the Mood," and piled up more milestones in each of his final years than most artists compile in a lifetime, culminating in a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Recording Sciences, awarded to him about a year before he died.

| 21227 | Lightnin' Hopkins Played Guitar. Featured is a Yamaha six-string acoustic guitar with an electric pick-up that was owned and used by late blues giant Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins, a Texas country bluesman of the highest caliber who learned at the feet of giants like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Texas Alexander. While the genre changed remarkably during his 50-plus-year career, he never appreciably altered his mournful Lone Star sound, cranking out classics like "Baby Please Don't Go," "Short Haired Woman," and "Trouble In Mind." Hopkins' nimble dexterity made intricate boogie riffs seem easy, and his fascinating penchant for improvising lyrics to fit whatever situation might arise made him a beloved blues troubadour.Not Sold. |
| 21228 | Val Kilmer Signed Guitar.

| 21229 | Kris Kristofferson Signed Guitar.

| 21230 | Nick Lucas Gibson Special Prototype All-Rosewood Guitar Circa 1929. Lucas was born Dominic Antonio Nicholas Lucanese in Newark, New Jersey, on August 22, 1897. He was known in vaudeville as "The Singing Troubadour," and was listed as "The Crooning Troubadour" on many of the numerous 78s that he recorded, beginning in the 1910s. His best-known song was "Tiptoe Through the Tulips". In addition to his talent as a vocalist, he was also a fabulous musician and composer. He played the banjo and mandolin, and was one of the first performers to popularize the acoustic guitar. He wrote and recorded the very first solo-guitar records: "Pickin' the Guitar" and "Teasin' the Frets", which were released in 1922. He published numerous books on the Nick Lucas Guitar Method which were hugely successful. When, in the late 1920s, Gibson began making its first serious attempt at a high quality flat top guitar, it was natural that they enlist the help of Lucas. The resulting guitar, the Nick Lucas Special, went through numerous changes in shape and design between 1928 and 1934. Most of these guitars are very rare but this instrument is completely unique with a Brazilian rosewood top as well as Brazilian rosewood back and sides. It is signed on the back "To my friend Nick Morro from your friend Nick Lucas." The body shape is that of early Gibson flat tops, 13 5/8" wide, and the body is extra-deep, a feature which gives the Lucases such a rich tone. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the collector of fine old Gibson guitars.Not Sold. |

| 21234 | Oak Ridge Boys Autographed Guitar. One of the most enduring groups in country music, the Oak Ridge Boys started life as a gospel quartet but gradually modernized their style and moved into secular country-pop (remember "Elvira"?).

| 21242 | Buddy Holly Banjo and Personal Items. Buddy Holly achieved a profound impact on popular music and obtained legendary status in roughly 18 months of national fame, but due to his untimely death the true impact he may have had and the music he may have made will never be known.

The history of the banjo is interesting as his brother, Larry Holley, tells it (in part): "buddy came to me and said he knew of a banjo for sale at a good bargain, so we went over to the guy's house and bought it . . . Buddy was into Bluegrass music at that time nad he learned to play it pretty good. The instrument seemd to be lost all these years, but I found it in Mother's storage house under a bunch of junk. I had wondered for many years what had become of it. I thought maybe Buddy had hocked it long ago. Buddy never played it on a recording that I know of, but I have heard him play it some with Bob Montgomery . . .I do not know if Buddy ever played the banjo at a live performance, but he probably did on some early appearances around town." In 1951 Buddy met Bob Montgomery, a fellow seventh-grader at Hutchinson Junior High, who also played guitar and sang country songs. Montgomery's taste in music ran to country music, especially Hank Williams, and Montgomery would be a major influence over Buddy's choice of music. Billing themselves as "Buddy and Bob," they played junior high assemblies and local radio shows. Their sets were basically country, beefed up by harmonics and their own guitar accopaniment. They called it "Western and Bop." Buddy and Bob became Lubbock's leading performers and soon added Larry Wellborn to play bass. Included in this lot is an original business card From "Buddy and Bob" showing Buddy Holley (note original spelling), Larry Welborn adn Bob Montgomery as members and Hi Pockets Duncan as Business Manager listing Radio Station KDAV's address.

On the back of this proof, Michael Vosse of Corporate Head Graphics gives us a handwritten account of how the cover came about: He reveals that the location is "the tiny bathroom at a Porsche repair shop above Hollywood Blvd. and Cahuenga." The designers "brought Mick and Keith to the site but did not tell them how vile this bathroom was; there was about an inch and a half of thick dark liquid on the floor ...the boys arrived in velvet suits and expensive Italian shoes and waded into the muck." The front cover having already been photographed, the designers "gave Mick and Keith crayons and felt pens and they wrote the credits and everything else on the back cover ... After the head of Decca saw the design he freaked out, said the cover was disgusting and pornographic, and refused to release it ... The Stones were defiant and held fast for more than a month but any further delay would blow the Christmas release in stores and the Decca chief would not budge -- he was willing to eat the loss -- so the cover was replaced with a hastily thrown-together mock 'dinner invitation.' London Records refused to pay but the Stones paid us in full. And we won Rolling Stone magazine's 'Best Album Cover of the Year,' the only time it's been given to an album cover that was not released."

Presley tried to make the marriage work, but a combination of drugs, liquor, and too many female hangers-on wouldn't allow it. Featured in this lot is a one-page quitclaim deed transferring interest in the couple's Los Angeles home from Priscilla to Elvis, dated August 15, 1972 (about a year before they divorced), and signed by Priscilla in blue ink.

Thomas. The party was by invitation only and was the talk of the town. However, the event was anticlimactic since Elvis arrived late and left early, and when he left everyone else followed.

| 21400 | Elvis Presley Balance Sheet.

Elvis was very close to Gladys and many insiders say that he was never quite the same after her untimely death from a heart attack brought on by hepatitus in 1958.

| 22174 | Will Hays Signed Letter to Jesse Lasky. During the '30s and '40s, Will H. Hays, though not a movie producer, director, nor studio executive, was one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood. Hays, an ex-attorney and former chair for the Republican National Committee, became the leader of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., an organization created by Hollywood studio-heads to raise the moral standards of feature films. The moguls established the MPPDA in response to a series of scandals and increasing pressure from certain factions. Under Hays, this organization affected the stringent Motion Picture Production Code that set forth a number of moral standards that Hollywood films had to adhere to. Those that passed muster were given a special seal. Those that failed were either hastily re-edited or faced a lack of distributing outlets. The "Hays Code" had a profound effect on U.S. filmmaking and remained in effect until 1966. Here is a signed letter from Hays, dated November 15, 1926, to producer Jesse Lasky noting requested cuts to "The Great Gatsby," including: "Eliminate sub-title 'There are things between Daisy and me which you will never know...Things neither of us can ever forget.'

| 22224 | Bela Lugosi Signed "Arsenic and Old Lace" Program. One of the great actors of his generation, Bela Lugosi made a name for himself in the title role of Universal Studio's adaptation of "Dracula," a role he first made famous on Broadway, yet he always seemed to play second fiddle to that other famous horror actor, Boris Karloff. Lugosi, however, rejected the role of the monster in Universal's adaptation of "Frankenstein" (it was a non-speaking part), opting to attach his name to a project that ultimately went unproduced, while Karloff instead donned the make-up and became a superstar in his own right. His career flagging, Lugosi worked in repertory productions of "Dracula" and "Arsenic and Old Lace" during the late '40s, his role in the latter being one Karloff had made famous on Broadway (the film version even makes reference to him). Featured here is a program for a three-day performance of the play at the Playhouse in Wilmington, Delaware, signed by Lugosi as well as by cast members Jean Adair, Malcolm Lee Beggs, Ruth McDevitt, Jack Whiting, Ann Lincoln, and Henry Sherwood. The item is in great condition with some toning, and Lugosi's signature is big and bold and near the top. Also included is a handbill advertising the production (look closely; that's Lugosi's name above the title, but the picture next to it is Karloff's). A fine lot for fans of Golden Age horror movies.

| 22439 | Beatles Abbey Road Platinum Record.

Pepper," but with stronger, more rock-oriented compositions such as "Here Comes the Sun," "Come Together," "Carry That Weight," and George Harrison's outstanding ballad "Something." "Abbey Road" topped the U. S. album charts for 11 weeks and remained in the top 40 for 32 weeks.

| 22447 | Early Photo of John Lennon with the Quarrymen. The odds are that under ordinary circumstances, the Quarrymen would have been forgotten decades ago, along with countless other skiffle bands that sprang up throughout England in the mid- to late-'50s. However, they turned out to be one of the greatest sources of talent in the history of popular music, having been founded by John Lennon, and Paul McCartney and George Harrison having passed through their line-up.

| 22452 | Beatles Butcher Cover Promo Poster. Here's a rare item for Beatles fans: A promotional poster featuring the notorious "butcher" cover for the "Yesterday ... and Today" album. It was the last Beatles album to be created exclusively for the American market by Capitol Records without the group's direct consent (the label had reconfigured every one of the group's LPs in America up to that point). What should have been a routine album, the proposed 11-song U.S.- only compilation of singles and leftover U.K. LP tracks, was graced with a cover depicting the quartet in butcher smocks, handling raw pieces of meat and dismembered baby dolls -- their comment on how albums like this one seemed to chop up their repertory. Initially, Capitol Records' art department went along with the gag and approved a print run of the album, but negative reactions from record chain buyers and disc jockeys forced Capitol to reconsider and a new, tamer photo replaced the original cover. In the end, between the junking of the artwork and the overtime needed to salvage the inventory, the album ended up as the only U.S. Beatles' album to show a loss on Capitol's books. This rare piece of Beatles memorabilia is a must-have display item.Sold for: $1,434.00. |

The poster is signed by McCartney. With COA from PSA/DNA.Sold for: $717.00. |
| 22456 | Paul McCartney Signed Movie Poster. When it was released in 1964, nobody expected "A Hard Day's Night," director Richard Lester's Beatles comedy/mockumentary, to be much more than a quick exploitation of a passing musical fad. But as we now know, the Beatles were anything but a flash in the pan, and "Night" is considered one of the best comedies ever made. Featured in this lot is a poster for the 1982 re-release of the movie, signed by former Beatle Paul McCartney. A nice piece of memorabilia. With COA from PSA/DNA.Sold for: $776.75. |
| 22457 | Beatles Christmas Show Pass (1964). After the success of the 1963-64 Christmas shows, the Beatles decided to do "Another Beatles Christmas Show" at the end of the whirlwind year that was 1964. The shows took place at the Hammersmith Odeon theatre in London starting on December 24, 1964. Performing with the Fab Four were the Yardbirds, Freddie and the Dreamers, Jimmy Saville, Elkie Brooks, Mike Haslam, and Mike Cotton Sound. They did two concerts a day until January 16th. While the lads from Liverpool were keeping up this grueling pace, their latest LP "Beatles For Sale" and latest single "I Feel Fine" were both firmly entrenched at the top of the British charts. An article in Melody Maker appearing the last day of the run quoted Brian Epstein as saying "I give the Beatles two or three years more at the top." The lucky bearer of this pass was allowed to enter through the Stage Door for this show, probably having to deal with just a few dozen others, rather than the hordes streaming through the main entrance! The artifact shows some aging and wear along the outer edges, as well as some light creasing, but its significance and desirability cannot be denied!Not Sold. |

| 22483 | Imagine Owning John Lennon's Brambach Baby Grand Piano. John Lennon and Yoko Ono moved to New York in 1972, and into their home in the Dakota in 1973. They also purchased a secret home in Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island in the mid 1970s, a place for them to get away from the city and get back to nature, getting some much-needed privacy. Moving into this half-million dollar, four-acre estate on a hill overlooking the bay, they both found themselves in the perfect place to be musically creative. For this secret hideaway, John Lennon and Yoko Ono purchased a beautiful 1917 mahogany Baby Grand piano. John and Yoko used this fine instrument to create some of their timeless masterpieces. It was from this period that the couple were working on the 1980 multi-platinum album "Double Fantasy", featuring such classics as "Starting Over", "Woman", "Watching the Wheels", Beautiful Boy", "I'm Losing You", "Walking On Thin Ice", and more. According to Yoko, John wrote one of his last love songs to her on this piano - "Dear Yoko." It was this song that John filmed a video of in their home during April, 1980. This piano was last auctioned by Yoko Ono at Sotheby's on June 23, 1984 to raise money for the Spirit Foundation that John and Yoko founded in 1978. The Spirit Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that funnels funds to numerous charities, some of which focus on AIDS support services, abused and needy children and the aging. This historic instrument has not been offered publicly since 1984, and has been off the market for over 20 years. Just sitting at this magnificent Brambach piano, you can picture John, hard at work composing; or just fooling around, playing his favorite songs, even the occasional Beatles tune during the happy years he and Yoko spent together in their lovely Long Island home. Now imagine this historic instrument in your own home, yours to enjoy. (Note: this piano presents beautifully, but the soundboard requires some restoration). This is a chance in a lifetime for one lucky bidder. Will it be you?Sold for: $41,825.00. |

| 23206 | "Tarantula" Movie Script. The '50s produced a glut of great (and not-so-great) B-grade sci-fi and horror films. When the radiation-spawned giant ants of "Them!" swarmed over American screens to become one the most successful films of 1954, it didn't take long for for other mutant bug movies to follow suit. One of the best was Jack Arnold's "Tarantula," which starred Leo G. Carroll as a scientist whose radiation experiments transform a spider into a rampaging monster (sounds vaguely familiar...). Aside from it's B-movie greatness, "Tarantula" is significant for another reason: it marked the feature film debut of a struggling young actor named Clint Eastwood, playing a fighter pilot assigned to blast the bejeezus out of the titular arachnid. Up for grabs in this lot is a copy of Martin Berkeley's classic screenplay.Sold for: $179.25. |

| 23295 | Gloria Swanson "Sunset Blvd." Evening Gown. Silent-era starlet Gloria Swanson was one of the few actors who survived the switch to talkies (she even learned how to sing for "Music in the Air" in 1934), but the kinds of movies she was known for were no longer being made by that point.

| 23299 | "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" Holster. Ranked at #30 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 all-time greatest American films, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" is a masterpiece that was, ironically, a box-office failure when released in 1948. At that time, audiences didn't accept Humphrey Bogart in a role that was intentionally unappealing, but time has proven this to be one of Bogart's very best performances. A grand adventure and a superior character study built around the themes of greed and moral corruption, it was adapted by writer-director John Huston, who also cast his father Walter in the role of a crusty old miner, and both father and son won Oscars for their respective duties on the film. This leather holster was worn by an unidentified actor in the movie and is in very good condition with only a moderate amount of wear and no staining.Sold for: $179.25. |

| 23307 | "Johnny's Mic... Not Ed's... Not Fred's" to quote from the white engraved inscription clearly visible on the collar of this Shure SM33 microphone. That white engraving distinguishes this piece as Johnny's Tonight Show microphone, as can be clearly seen in the many photos of the mic sitting on Johnny's desk. As Tonight Show sound man Stan Sweeney writes in his COA, "This is the one and only microphone that is inscribed 'Johnny's mic . . ' and this one with the distinct etching was used on a daily basis." To our knowledge, this is the only Shure SM 33 that Johnny ever used on The Tonight Show. That says it all! If only this mic could talk. Through the administrations of seven U.S. presidents, Johnny Carson was the undisputed king of late night television with The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. We all remember him sitting at his desk nervously playing with his pencils, adjusting this very microphone, swapping jokes and stories with guests that included legends in all fields of endeavor of the late 20th century. The story of how this microphone was "rescued" is told by the current owner: "Almost twenty years ago in the mid 80s, my position as a crew member of The Tonight Show gave me the opportunity to literally rescue this microphone. During one of our technical upgrades at NBC, a large amount of equipment was being discarded along with this microphone. It was not uncommon for the studios at the time to just get rid of antiquated equipment. All of production audio was being replaced. I realized the mic should be saved, and its been in my safekeeping ever since. As we all know, Johnny Carson was the King of late night TV for thirty years and this microphone, with the inscription, Johnny's Mic... Not Ed's... Not Fred's (Ed McMahon, Announcer; Fred DeCordova, Producer) was used on his desk from the late 1960s throughout the 1970s." Technically, this microphone is (to quote from Shure's spec sheet) "... a compact and rugged unidirectional ribbon microphone combining wide range response and a Super-Cardioid directional pattern. The performance characteristics are ideal for studio use in broadcasting and recording and for critical sound reinforcement applications." Emotionally, this microphone is a part of history, an American icon, an incomparable piece of pop culture. Since Carson's recent death, a number of celebrities have expressed interest in owning this museum-worthy Johnny Carson microphone. Heritage Galleries is proud to be chosen to offer this once in a lifetime opportunity to the general public. Impeccable provenance provided in the form of a signed letter by former Tonight Show crew member and sound man, Stanley J. Sweeney.Sold for: $50,787.50. |

Condition: VG++/VG++.Not Sold. |
| 23318 | Jan and Dean "Save for a Rainy Day" LP JD-101 Mono (1967). This LP was never released by Columbia owing to Jan and Dean's declining popularity at the time. was going down, Dean Torrance decided the group would put out the record on their own, selling it through the mail and at concerts. As a private pressing, this record is very difficult to find. The cover is VG++ except for a 1 1/4-inch seam split at the top. Plays Mint.Not Sold. |
| 23322 | Martha and the Vandellas "Heat Wave" LP Gordy 907 Mono (1963).

Very nice record, but the cover has a tape stain at the back top right corner, and across the back bottom edge. Condition: VG++ (record)/VG (cover).Sold for: $59.75. |
| 23323 | Marvelettes "Smash Hits of 62" LP Tamla 229 Mono only (1962). Oh, my! One of the most desirable early '60s albums of all, from Motown's first great girl groups. This is the rare first version of this album with the Marvelettes fearlessly covering such diverse stars of the day as Elvis, Clyde McPhatter, Roy Orbison, Sam Cooke, and Chubby Checker. The back cover shows some yellowing from age, but we'll still call it VG+. As for the record, it may look VG+ as well, but it plays VG++, about as nice a copy that you could hope to find. Condition: VG+/VG+.Not Sold. |
| 23324 | Amos Milburn "The Return of the Blues Boss" LP Motown 608 Mono only (1963). Early Motown boosted its prestige with Milburn's one album for the label.

| 23326 | "The Platters" LP King 651 Mono (1959). This was a reissue of an album on Federal in 1957. The Platters were the premier vocal group of the 1950s, charting 40 singles on the Pop charts from 1955 to 1967. The version of "Only You", one of their classic hits, was different here than the version recorded on Mercury, the label where they enjoyed their long successful run. The songs here have an edge not normally associated with the smooth group, sort of a groovin', rockin', doo-wop and R&B kinda thang! Even though a reissue, this is just about as rare as the Federal original. Terrific sound - record looks VG, but plays VG+. The front cover is VG+; the back VG with yellowing along the edge and across the top.Not Sold. |

| 23330 | The Ventures Japanese LPs Lot of 2. The Ventures are absolutely revered in Japan, and there are dozens of albums by the group that were only ever released in that country.

| 23331 | "Gene Vincent Rocks" Promo LP Capitol 970 Mono (1958). Gene Vincent rocks indeed! If you think Gene Vincent's contribution to rock 'n roll starts and ends with "Be-Bop-a-Lula", you'll be pleasantly surprised by a listen to this album, which we will modestly describe as one of the finest early rock/rockabilly records of all. If that isn't cool enough for ya, this is a yellow label promo copy with an 8 1/2" by 11" press sheet included! The press sheet has two ink check marks in the Side 2 notation section (cuts #1 and #6). The cover is VG- with four tape stains and two seam repairs, but the mega-rare promo disc is brilliant! Side 2 vinyl is "foggy", but both sides play Mint-, displaying Vincent and his Blue Caps in astonishing freshness. Condition: Mint- (record)/VG- (cover).Not Sold. |
| 23332 | Hank Williams "Moanin' the Blues" LP MGM E3330 Mono (1956). The most influential Country songwriter and performer was 23 years old when he first hit Billboard's Country charts, and was dead little more than five years later, making his incredible legacy all the more impressive. This album has several of his best known tunes, including "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Lovesick Blues". The record and cover are in no less than amazing condition: VG+ (record)/ Mint- (cover).Sold for: $59.75. |
| 23333 | Flamingos "That's My Desire" b/w "Hurry Home Baby" Red Vinyl 45 Chance 1140 (1953).

| 23334 | Julius Schwartz' 78 Jazz Collection (1930-1940s). Julius Schwartz is a legendary name to comic book collectors, having served in various executive capacities with DC (the folks that brought us Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and many others) for over five decades prior to his passing in 2004. He is generally acknowledged as the major force in launching the Silver Age of comics by introducing new superheroes to DC's lineup, often reinventing 1940s-era superheroes who had been out of print for years. But this is about his superb collection of Jazz 78s from the 1930s and 1940s. Well over 100 records are included here with an average condition grade of VG/VG+. The records are included in eleven 78-collector folders, which has contributed to keeping them in nice shape, although the folders themselves do show some wear and tear. Also included is a particularly attractive three record set folder of Louis Armstrong All Stars with Jack Teagarden "Live at Town Hall" - Satchmo never sounded better! A special bonus comes in the form of seven acetates of radio shows, including three featuring Louis Armstrong. Five Christmas LPs from various artists are the only non-78 records in the bunch. Julius' collection is heavy on Dixieland and Ragtime, but also included a number of Blues recordings, including several on the famed Blue Note label. Just a few of the artists represented are Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Bunk Johnson's Band, Bunny Berigan, Lionel Hampton, Bud Freeman, Jack Teagarden, Pee Wee Russell, Bix Beiderbeck, Art Hodes Trio, Baby Dodds' Jazz Four, Frank Sinatra, Frances Langford, Eddie Condon and his Orchestra, Trixie Smith, Ted Lewis, and the Emperors of Jazz. A number of the records have some warping, but all but a relatively few play fine. Assigning no value to those records that do not play well, and estimating others on the conservative side, this collection is still valued at over $800. And you thought Julius only knew comic books?Sold for: $262.90. |

This show featured Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks, Sopwith Camel, Rejoice, Gale Garnett and the Gentle Reign, and Peter Bowen.

| 23338 | Big Brother and the Holding Company Stockton Civic Auditorium 4-16-67 (S&P Co., 1967) Stanley Mouse studios turns in a poster design featuring an axe-wielding warrior -- what happened to peace and love, man?

| 23340 | Big Brother and the Holding Company/Pink Floyd Fillmore/Winterland Poster #BG91 11/2-4/67 (Bill Graham, 1967) Now, This was a show! Coming at the end of their first U.S. tour, Pink Floyd (with original singer/guitarist Syd Barrett) was scheduled to appear with red-hot San Francisco band Big Brother and the Holding Company, starring vocalist Janis Joplin.

| 23452 | "Twist Around the Clock" Movie Insert Poster. The Twist was all the rage in the early '60s, and so were movies about said dance.

The plot was virtually identical to the earlier "Rock Around the Clock": a struggling manager visits a hayseed town, discovers a new dance craze, and turns it into an overnight nationwide sensation.

| 23502 | Brian Jones 1963 ALS- The History of the Rolling Stones A nine page autographed letter signed on blue paper, 5.5" x 7", dated April 4, 1963 from 102 Edith Grove in London (the flat Mick, Keith and Brian shared) in which group leader (at that time) Brian Jones writes out the entire story of the Rolling Stones. Absolutely amazing content with brief biographical sketches of the members, a history of how they were formed, their current performances, recordings, and their plans for the future. It is written to Doreen Pettifer (original mailing envelope included) and starts out: "Dear Doreen, Many thanks for your letter and for the great interest you have shown in the band. It is very gratifying that you should be so willing to help us to the extent you are doing so. Some information:-..." Brian then lists the personnel with a brief biographical sketch of each. At this point in Rolling Stones history, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts had joined the band, and Ian Stewart was still a member. Jones continues: "Formation & History. The band is really an amalgamation of two bands. The one being one I formed about a year ago, & the other being a group run by Mick & Keith in S.E. London. I was introduced to Keith & we decided to pool our resources, so with Stu from my band, and Mick from Keith's we became the nucleus of the 'Stones"." Brian continues with a history of their early gigs and personnel additions and brags that "We have, I may add, a habit of breaking attendance records." Regarding their recordings: "We have signed an agreement with an independent recording company, I.B.C., who channel their releases through the major company labels. We have already cut quite a few sides, all on the commercial side. We ourselves do not know how negotiations for release are progressing at the moment." Actually, it would only be about two months before their first single, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On," would be released. The letter then goes on to discuss the blues and jazz and even gives the correspondent the phone number for Ian Stewart, in case she needs to get in touch with them. He closes: "Once again, we thank you for your interest in Rhythm and Blues and ourselves. It's wonderful music and deserves more recognition. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on the 19th. Yours Sincerely, Brian Jones. for "Rolling Stones" Brian Jones wasn't the group's lead singer, guitar soloist, or their songwriter, but his attitude and stage performances did much to define their early "Bad Boy" image while his photogenic good looks made the band more commercially viable. His skills on a variety of instruments (i.e. the sitar on "Paint It Black" and the recorder on "Ruby Tuesday") gave their sound an eclectic edge that was never matched after his departure. Jones left the band on June 8, 1969, ostensibly for musical reasons, but rumors flew that he was fired because his heavy drug use and womanizing were making him undependable. Less than a month later, he was found dead, drowned in his own swimming pool. This significant letter is in fine condition with very minor ink smearing in a couple of places, original mailing folds, envelope included.Not Sold. |

| 23505 | 1960 George Harrison Letter From Hamburg- Incredible Content This three page letter on lined paper is not dated but almost certainly written in September and October of 1960 at Hamburg, Germany. It is a funny, newsy letter from George to Arthur Kelly, his best buddy back in Liverpool, written using many interesting Scouse and slang terms. Arthur, by the way, holds a very important place in George's musical career. Harrison's mother bought George his first guitar when he was 13 which he taught himself to play. He formed, with his brother Pete and friend Arthur Kelly, his first band- a short-lived skiffle group called "The Rebels." The content of this letter is an absolute goldmine for the Beatle historian. For some background, the Beatles went to Hamburg on August 16, 1960 to play the Indra Club, a dive frequented by rowdy drunks. The Indra was not quite on the main Hamburg "drag" and they moved to the bigger and nicer Kaiserkeller Club down the street in early October. This important letter was written during this formative period in the Beatle's career. The letter starts out (in ink): "Dear Archibald Lad, How are ye? I am playing many a rolling rock in Germanyingdaleboroughland, and have much gold. John-Paul+Stuart Deane (possibly a reference to Stuart Stucliffe's tendency to dress like James Dean?) are also having a luvly time too. We have Pete Best Mrs. Bests little lad with us from Kasbah fame and he is drumming good. His dad is a boxer in the Stadium." Pete Best had just joined the group. His mom owned the Casbah Club in Liverpool where the Beatles had visited. The letter goes on: "I can speak gut Germen now and we are staying here until Christ. and then we are going with a man to Berlin." George then inquires about Arthur's family and mentions that his mum is going to Canada to visit his sister (Louise). "We are earning 18 pounds a week now and after Chrimbo when we go to Berlin we will earn 60 marks a night [30 pounds a week]." In the next paragraph, George talks about Tony Sheridan and his trio also being there performing. The Beatles' very first recording will later be as Tony Sheridan's backing band. He also talks about his obsession with guitars: "He has got a Fender Guitar & Amp like Buddy's (Buddy Holly?) and I play it well... Look out as I'm thinking of getting yet again another new guitar. I may leave solids out of it this time & get an Everly Brother type massive Gibson as they are gear... I might manage a red Fender Stratocaster with gold plating though come to think of it, but the one I want is the Gretch..." He then closes with "From George. x" The letter then continues (in pencil): "Dear Arthur, It is a month now since I started the letter to you. Everything is going O.K. and hope you are O.K. My pen has also run out since then and I am writing in pencil. [As you might have noticed!] Rory Storm & The Hurricanes came out here the other week, and they are crumby. (Could this be sour grapes- George auditioned earlier for this band and was turned down) He does a bit of dancing around but it still doesn't make up for his phoney group. The only person who is any good in the group is the drummer." This drummer, of course, is future Beatle Ringo Starr! He then writes that Stewart had bought a Gibson amplifier and that he should have 100 pounds saved by Christmas. The letter closes: "Anyway cheerio for now and write and let me know how you are getting on. The address is:- G. Harrison c/o The Beatles / KaiserKeller / Hamburg, 4 / Grosserfreiheit 36 / Germany. Cheerio from George. P.S. I hope you are still getting the 8-25 am 25 bus to work. I suppose you have been missing me?!!" Soon after writing this, George was deported back to England for being underage (17). This letter would be at home in any museum or private collection.

| 23507 | Legendary Jazz Singer Billie Holiday Signed Photo (1915-1959) Billie Holiday changed the art of American pop vocals forever. She was the first popular jazz singer to integrate the intense, personal feelings of classic blues into her performances, moving her audiences like no one else, before or since. She lived her music. Holiday's career got its start in New York clubs in the early 1930s. In 1933, producer John Hammond introduced her to Benny Goodman which led to her first recording session. She was soon a star. Her tumultuous personal life- a series of abusive relationships, substance addictions and periods of depression eventually affected both her voice and her health. She collapsed in May, 1959 from heart and liver disease, exacerbated by her heroin habit, and died in July of that year. Thankfully, she left us a rich and extensive library of recordings that will be enjoyed for many generations to come. Offered here is an awesome 8" x10" B&W promotional photo of this master jazz performer. It is from Associated Booking Corporation of which Joe Glaser, her long-time manager, was president. Signed using blue ballpoint with good contrast "For Wally, Stay Happy Always, Billie Holiday", this photo is handsomely matted and framed to an overall size of 15" x 17". Extremely rare and desirable in this format. With COA from noted Jazz expert Larry Rafferty.Sold for: $1,075.50. |
