In the annals of rock ‘n’ roll history, only a handful of bands are recognised as among the greatest of all time. Everyone knows the short list, and invariably, The Who is on it. As one of the key figures of the British invasion and the mod movement of the mid-1960s, the Who were a dynamic and undeniably powerful sonic force. They often sounded like they were exploding conventional rock and R&B structures with Townshend’s furious guitar chords, Entwistle’s hyperactive bass lines, and Moon’s vigorous, seemingly chaotic drumming. Signed by Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend.

The Middle English term ‘pygg’ referred to a type of clay. In the Middle Ages, people would often keep coins in jars or pots made of pygg – these were called ‘pygg jars’. By the 18th century, with the evolution of language, these came to be known as a ‘pig bank’ or ‘piggy bank’.

THE QUEEN Superb invitation card ‘Queen Elizabeth II’ signed by Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol became famous worldwide as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer and author. Along with the limited-edition artwork Warhol produced, he also signed ‘ephemera’. Some were signed at exhibition openings, others were gifts for friends signed by the artist, which are now proving very collectible. Here is the chance to own an exquisite invitation card, hand-signed by Andy Warhol. These were produced by the Leo Castelli Gallery in 1985 to promote the release of Andy Warhol’s portfolio of screen-prints featuring Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. This piece is very limited in number and has been hand-signed in felt-tip marker by Andy Warhol.
