Beatles

Remarkably rare, fully signed Meet the Beatles!

5000. Beatles Signed ‘Meet the Beatles’ Album. Capitol Records (T

2047) pressing of the Meet the Beatles! album, signed neatly on the back cover in blue ballpoint by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, and John Lennon.

In fine condition. The record is not included.

A virtually flawless example of the Beatles’ second album to be released in the United States. Despite the album’s front cover claiming the record to be the band’s ‘first,’ in actuality, Meet the Beatles! was their second, with Introducing…The Beatles released by Vee-Jay Records only 10 days prior on January 10, 1964. Meet the Beatles! jumped to the top of the Billboard Charts a month later and remained at number one for 11 weeks before it was replaced by The Beatles’ Second Album. For millions of Beatles fans, this groundbreaking record served as a resounding first impression that heralded the beginnings of American Beatlemania. Featuring Robert Freeman’s iconic cover art, the very same used for the United Kingdom release of With the Beatles, this fully signed early American pressing represents the pinnacle of Fab Four autograph collecting, and is thus a must-have for the true-blue Beatles fan.

5005. Beatles ‘Second State’ Mono Butcher Album. The Beatles Yesterday

and Today mono ‘second state’ butcher cover (Capitol, 1966).

Arranging the infamous ‘Butcher Cover’ photo shoot 5010. Beatles ‘Yesterday and Today’ Butcher Cover Photo Shoot Documents. Two internal memos from NEMS Enterprises arranging for the infamous ‘Butcher Cover’ photo shoot, sent to Brian Epstein by Tony Barrow, each one page, 7.75 x 10, March 7 and 18, 1966. Both have the subject “The Beatles/Photography.” The first, in full: “There is a new shortage of colour and black and white material on The Beatles to satisfy numerous demands—particularly for America, Germany and Japan. As soon as the four boys are together again towards the end of March I would like to arrange a Bob Whitaker studio session with Leslie Bryce ‘sitting in’ to take black and white for The Beatles Monthly Book.

Does this have your O.K.?” Tony Barrow has initialed the memorandum “TB” in blue ballpoint, and Brian Epstein has written the word “Noted” in pencil.

The follow-up message from eleven days later, in full: “‘I am following up on the attached note to suggest next Thursday afternoon, 24 March, from 3.00p.m. to 5.30p.m. for The Beatles to attend a studio photo session for Bob Whitaker with Leslie Bryce ‘sitting in’ to take black and white for The Beatles Monthly Book. In fact I have in mind to suggest that John or another Beatle should lunch with Brazilian journalist Senhor Lengyl on Thursday prior to the session. Next Thursday afternoon had been agreed as the time for Lord Snowdon to photograph the group for LIFE but that project is now postponed. I would welcome a quick reaction from you on this, please.” Barrow has also initialed this memo in blue ballpoint, “TB.” Stapled together and in very good to fine condition, with creasing to the lower right side of each sheet.

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter from Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn, in full: “‘I have been asked to authenticate these original pieces of paper. They are two separate internal office memos from Nems Enterprises (and Beatles) press officer Tony Barrow to Beatles manager Brian Epstein, the first (7 March 1966) requesting Epstein’s approval for a Beatles photo session with Robert/Bob Whitaker towards the end of March, when the group were reconvening after a long interlude. In the second (18 March 1966) Barrow is advancing his previous request, now specifying the afternoon of 24 March, a date that had been marked for a photo session for Life magazine with Lord Snowdon, which had since been shelved. It turned out that the session eventually took place 24 hours later, and that Whitaker had the idea to drape the Beatles in dismembered dolls and bloody meat, leading to the highly collectable ‘Butcher cover’ album cover.” Starting Bid $300

He always told me that within the group John Lennon has the most absurd kind of humour running around adorned with a toilet seat around his neck. My father liked the way the Beatles represented the spirit of that time not answering the question journalists in a kind and thankful manner anymore.

Extremely rare withdrawn Apple Records 7˝ 45 RPM record of the Brute Force single ‘King Of Fuh / Nobody Knows.’ Stamped matrix numbers on the A-side are “APPLE 8 A 2,” stamped matrix numbers on the B-side are “APPLE 8 B 2.” In fine condition, with wear only to the sleeve. Recording under the pseudonym ‘Brute Force,’ Stephen Friedland’s song ‘King of Fuh’ came to the attention of the Beatles via Nat Weiss, a friend and confidant of Brian Epstein. The title’s wordplay caught the attention of John Lennon and George Harrison, who advocated for its release

by Apple. Harrison also arranged for strings to be dubbed on the track, and it was assigned catalog number “Apple 8” for release in May 1969. It was pressed in a very limited quantity and never received distribution because of the ‘obscene’ lyrics, making it an exceedingly rare 45 RPM record today.

“John Lennon (rhythm guitar) (married)” 5035. John Lennon ‘Married’ Annotated Album. UK mono pressing of the Beatles’

debut album Please Please Me, annotated on the reverse of the sleeve in blue ballpoint by John Lennon, “(Married),” a reference to his unpublicized marriage to Cynthia Powell. In fine condition, with some small tears and creases to edges. The record is included. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks, stating that this was formerly the property of The Beatles press officer Tony Barrow. Lennon was married to Cynthia Powell on August 23, 1962, at the Liverpool Mount Pleasant registry office and Paul McCartney and George Harrison were in attendance along with their manager Brian Epstein. The Beatles’ PR team tried to keep the union low profile, fearing that Lennon’s monogamy would adversely effect the band’s popularity among female fans.

Revealingly, in a 2003 interview conducted by Mark Lewisohn, Tony Barrow stated that on one occasion when the Beatles were in the presence of a couple of reporters ‘John just went and wrote ‘married’ on the press office copy of the Please Please Me album, inviting what did happen, which was one or two journalists asked me why it said that, I laughed it off as John’s little joke.’

Tony also told Mark that Brian Epstein never once asked him to deny that John was married. It was John himself who asked Tony to keep the fact quiet—and then, as stated above, he undid his own wish by writing ‘(married)’ on the LP sleeve. The fact was then famously publicized during their Ed Sullivan Show appearance, when the caption on the screen below Lennon said: ‘Sorry girls, he’s married.’ Starting Bid $200

With Klein finally removed from his position, speculation would once again rise over a possible Beatles reunion in the late 1970s. Starting Bid $1000

Occasionally Elvis would talk so late into the night that he would just spend the night leaving personal items there. After Elvis’ untimely death, Vernon sold the house on Dolan St. to the Burnette’s…Many of Elvis and Vernon’s belongings were sold with the Dolan St. house. I purchased $15,000.00 worth of Elvis and Vernon’s personal items.”

Exceedingly rare withdrawn original pressing of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, featuring the controversial ‘Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues’ 5102. Bob Dylan Alternate Freewheelin’ Album (Original Pressing). Extremely rare

original Columbia mono pressing of Dylan’s second studio album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan (CL 1986), featuring the alternate original tracks ‘Rocks and Gravel,’ ‘Let Me Die In My Footsteps,’ ‘Gamblin’ Willie’s Dead Man’s Hand,’ and ‘Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues.’ The matrix numbers on both sides end in “-1A” (XLP-58717-1A and XLP-58718-1A), signifying that it is the original pressing; the regular copies, which include the songs ‘Girl From The North Country,’ ‘Masters of War,’ ‘Bob Dylan’s Dream,’ and ‘Talkin’ World War III Blues,’ have matrix numbers ending in -2 or higher. Complete with the original album jacket and inner sleeve; both the jacket and labels list the correct, revised track listing. In fine condition, with a few light scratches to the red label.

Just before the release of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan in May 1963, the decision was made to replace four of its tracks. The reasoning behind the change is not entirely known. Some speculate that because CBS television’s censors refused to allow him to perform ‘Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues’ on the Ed Sullivan Show—in a controversial episode that afforded Dylan increased publicity—the CBS-owned Columbia Records then demanded that the song be pulled from the album. Others note that the four ‘replacement’ tracks were recorded after the album was completed, and may have simply been too good to be left off—they include the Dylan classics ‘Masters of War’ and ‘Girl From The North Country.’ In any case, replacement masters featuring the new songs were made, the cover art was changed, and the disc’s labels revised. However, a small number of copies were accidentally pressed using the original stampers—these, with matrix numbers ending in “-1A,” play the controversial ‘Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues’ along with the three other withdrawn tracks. According to Jeff Gold of Recordmecca, fewer than 20 of these original mono pressings of Freewheelin’ have surfaced since the album’s release. Starting Bid $1000

Dylan electrifies British crowds in 1966

5105. Bob Dylan Signed 1966 British Tour Program. Hugely sought-after original program for Bob Dylan’s legendary 1966

British Tour, 12 pages, 8 x 10.25, signed and inscribed inside in black ballpoint, “To John Weston, Love always, Bob Dylan.”

The program features advertisements, biographical text, a listing of tour dates, a variety of uncommon images, and a dedicated area for the concertgoer to document Dylan’s set list, with the original recipient adding song titles from a Dylan concert at the Birmingham Odeon on May 12, 1966. In fine condition. A terrifically appealing vintage program from Dylan’s bumpy 1966 tour of England—his decision to play half his set acoustic and the other half electric with a full backing band—comprised of future members of The Band—was not always warmly received; after one particularly boisterous and upset fan called Dylan a ‘Judas’ at Free Trade Hall in Manchester on May 17, 1966, the songwriter pointedly shouted back ‘I don’t believe you...you’re a liar!,’ before turning to his group and directing them to ‘Play it f–––in’ loud!’

John recalled that the concert was an emotional one for everyone concerned. He had met Dylan earlier in the day at the Albany Hotel where he was staying, which was right around the corner from the theatre. Which for a devoted fan like he was, had truly been a memorable experience—but the concert that evening was a real ‘I Was There’ occasion. The battle between the traditionalist and electric factions was epic. Starting Bid $300

Jimi gladly complied, writing, “Love and Happiness to Louise forever” (with an added heart), and also added for the store, “your things are beautiful.”

This autograph book also features two unique Mick Taylor signatures, one from 1968 (with Colin Allen) while he was a member of John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and again in 1969 less than an year afterwards as the new guitarist of the Rolling Stones; fellow Stones members Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman also signed on the same page.

In fine condition. Less than a month after releasing their full-length debut, Are You Experienced, Hendrix and company headlined a show at the Brian Epstein-owned Saville Theatre, with both George Harrison and Paul McCartney attending the performance. When the curtains opened the band took the stage playing a rendition of the title track from the Beatles eighth album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which had been released only days prior. McCartney, who wrote the song, was floored by the performance: ‘To think that that album had meant so much to him as to actually do it by the Sunday night, three days after the release. He must have been so into it, because normally it might take a day for rehearsal and then you might wonder whether you’d put it in, but he just opened with it. It’s a pretty major compliment in anyone’s book. I put that down as one of the great honours of my career.’ Exactly two weeks later, the Jimi Hendrix Experience made their American debut at the Monterey Pop Festival, where they were booked at the recommendation of McCartney. A true piece of rock music history.

The ticket is issued for the Orchestra section, left center, “P 18.” In very good to fine condition, with overall creasing.

On Friday, April 5, 1968, the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, the Experience were scheduled to play two concerts at Newark’s Symphony Hall. According to bass player Noel Redding, what greeted the band upon their arrival was beyond his comprehension. ‘Our gig in Newark brought home to me how little I understood about America. We got into the limo and drove from Manhattan and as soon as we crossed into Newark we were somewhere weird, a place with tanks in the streets, but no people. I didn’t know what was going on. At the hall we were met by police. We freaked. What had we done? Then we heard that Martin Luther King had been assassinated and Newark was under siege.

This was beyond my experience. The cops told us that there might be a riot and that we should do one show, do it quick and f--k off. The hall was huge—a several-thousand-seater—but contained at most two hundred people.’ The Experience cancelled their second show and shortened their first, playing for roughly 45 minutes. The night concluded with Hendrix informing the crowd that ‘this number is for a friend of mine.’ The trio played an improvised song in honor of King, and then quietly walked off the stage.

I was a twenty year old mod and when I saw the man with Chas I thought, ‘Here we go again.’ Working with wanna be rock stars was a current situation and standing before me was a complete hippy with the rock and roll dress style and my immediate thought was ‘another prat who’s playing the rock star game’…I put the tape on that I was soon to master, possibly one of ten people who so far had heard the track and suddenly I hear the intro. When the vocals kicked in I turned to the man [who] I knew was a real rock star and said ‘Is this you?’ He said it was and asked if I liked it. How could I not like this track?…We did a bit of banter while the record was mastered and I never knew that this ‘hippy’ would go on to world domination. Chas and Jimi left with a couple acetates to listen to and the rest is history.” Starting Bid $500

Contrary to their reputation, they were all friendly, chatty and very polite. Mick, particularly was very approachable and they all laughed a lot and joked around.

I got their autographs...I asked if my brother Sid could meet him and say hello. He played bass guitar in a band at the time and was a huge Chuck Berry fan. I fetched him in and he shook hands and talked about their music. He made a beeline for Bill Wyman who showed Sid his hand-made bass guitar which had no frets on the neck and weighed a ton! Bill let Sid play a few runs on it. Mick played harmonica at the time and got a few out of his bag. He had a bucket of cold water on the table to put them in, shook them dry and tried them out. He selected two and put a third which he said was no good on the table. He asked if I would like it and gave it to me.” Starting Bid $200

5137. Mick Taylor Autograph Letter Signed. ALS, signed

“Mick Taylor” and “Mick,” two pages both sides, 6.25 x 8, 1968. Interesting handwritten newsletter for John Mayall’s Bluebreakers Fan Club, in full: “As this is the first newsletter since our tour of the States I suppose I’d better talk about that but first a few words about the recent changes in personnel. The latest addition to the orchestra is Henry Lowther of Manfred Mann Fame. Henry is a very fine trumpet player and his inclusion has made a great improvement to the horn section. He will also be playing electric violin, which will undoubtedly cause a public outcry from real blues followers everywhere. The other new member is bass player Andy Frazer whose ability as a bass-player belies his age, which is only 15 years old! I think Andy has fitted in very well so far. He’s a very smart, well groomed young man but Keef and I are working on that. Well now something about the American tour which I think we can safely say was a great success. We were all very impressed with the States, and especially the way London records organised the tour. I found the atmosphere among people, particularly musicians very stimulating. Dick & I are counting the days to the next tour. Unfortunately we didn’t have any spare time to see other artists at work but while we were in San Francisco we were fortunate in meeting Little-Joe-Blue who sung two numbers with us at the Fillmore. Then of course there was Albert King, who we had the pleasure of working with for three nights at the Fillmore. It’s difficult to describe such a great Blues artist as he is. In my opinion he is one of the most original and exiting blues guitarists around. His style is completely unique. On record he is backed by The Stax horn section and Booker T & the MGs’, who are really heavy musicians, but even with a pedestrian backing group that he has with him at the Fillmore, he still managed to play brilliantly and capture and hold the audience for the whole of his act. I hope he gets the chance to tour over here. He expressed his desire to tour England but as you probably realise we only get the Folk-blues festival once a year, comprising of people like John Lee Hooker and all the other regulars. Artists like Albert King, James Cotton, to mention a few, who have something new & refreshing to offer in blues music pass by unrecognised by people who organise these tours and yet there the artists, who are keeping the blues alive in America and who I’m sure the blues fans here want to see.” On the reverse of the last page, he adds: “Please excuse the bad handwriting. Anyway I hope it’s to your satisfaction see you soon.” In fine condition, with two filing holes to the left edge. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Starting Bid $200

Also includes a flyer for a protest in Washington, DC. In overall very good to fine condition, with old tape repairs, edge tears, and some paper loss to the poster, and handling wear to the program, with a small separation to upper spine—this is a very hard program to find in this condition as most have been folded and have tears, major creasing issues, and/or loose pages.

5141. The Doors Original Photographs by Joel Brodsky. Superb set of four original semi-glossy 11 x 14

silver gelatin portraits of Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore shot in New York City in 1967 by the photographer most clearly associated with their record covers, Joel Brodsky. Brodsky photographed The Doors for nine of their different record covers. The four photographs present an interesting contrast in composition—Manzarek, Krieger, and Densmore are seen head-on against a stark white background, while the enigmatic Morrison sits at an angle and is shrouded in shadow against a black background.

These beautiful prints came from the estate of the foremost collector of Doors memorabilia and photographs, and are clearly original prints made from the actual negatives. There are no credits on the back, only negative/inventory numbers written in pen. As we have not been able to find these exact images elsewhere, they may very well be unpublished.

Jim Morrison’s handwritten lyrics and chord chart for ‘Universal Mind’ 5142. Jim Morrison Handwritten Lyrics. Amaz-

ing handwritten lyrics by Jim Morrison for the song ‘Universal Mind,’ one page, 6 x 9, consisting of the main verse and chorus. In full: “I was doing time in the / Universal Mind / I was feeling fine / I was turning keys / I was setting people free / I was doing alright / Then you came along / w/ a suitcase & a song / & turned my head around / Now I’m so alone / just looking for a home / in every face I see / I’m the freedom man (3).” Above each line, Morrison adds the associated chords for the accompanying music. In fine condition, with light overall creasing. The only version of this song to be officially released is a live recording from The Doors’ second show at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood on July 21, 1969, on their first live album, Absolutely Live. The album peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 in September 1970. A magnificent piece showcasing Morrison’s poetic creativity, touching upon some of the reoccurring themes within his artistic and musical work.

Few original handwritten Doors lyrics have come to market, with this fine exemplar standing as a truly one-of-a-kind item.

Originates from the collection of Morrison’s close friend and UCLA classmate Frank Lisciandro, editor of the documentary film Feast of Friends, and accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance signed by him, in full: “Many of the music memorabilia items I own, or have owned, came to me due to my friendship and association with The Doors and/or Jim Morrison. During the making of the film ‘HWY,’ in which I played several key filmmaking roles, I worked in an office/editing room that Jim Morrison had rented in The Clear Thoughts Building. In June or July 1970, several months after the film was finished and our work was over, Jim decided to close the office. I returned the rented film production items, like the upright 35mm Moviola, and gathered the boxes of film and sound and moved them to storage.

What was left were a few posters, some books, miscellaneous office and editing items (chairs, an editing table, metal reels, rolls of leader) and miscellaneous notes and papers. I talked with Jim about what to do with these items; and after examining what was left he said he had no use for any of it. I asked him if he wanted me to move anything to The Doors office for him and he said no. He told me that I could have and keep any of the items that were left in the HWY office. Jim’s handwritten words for the song ‘Universal Mind’ was one of the items he gave me that day. I have owned and preserved the sheet of paper with the lyrics ever since. The words for the song, ‘Universal Mind,’ a song that appears on The Doors album, Absolutely Live were written on a sheet of paper torn from a steno pad, perhaps a steno pad that was in the HWY office. I certify that the words on this sheet of steno pad paper were written by Jim Morrison and are in his own hand.” Also includes a full letter of authenticity from REAL and a satin-finish 10 x 8 artist’s proof photograph of Morrison in a diner taken by Lisciandro, signed in the lower border in black felt tip, “AP2, JDM, 12.8.1970, Frank Lisciandro.” Starting Bid $5000

It placed number three on VH1’s 2000 list of the 100 Greatest Rock Songs, and ranked as number thirty-one on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Given Bonham’s tragic death in 1980, fully signed Led Zeppelin items are rare and incredibly desirable.

Upon its release in late October 1969, Zeppelin’s eponymously titled sophomore record became an instant, monster success within both the US and UK, and quickly cemented the quartet as the next great British rock act. Given the era’s passive attitude towards autograph collecting and the increased security implemented by Zeppelin’s now legendary manager Peter Grant, band-signed items remain exceptionally scarce.

Stars like Pat Boone, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, etc., appeared there, I had written a song and was looking for a star to present it to. It was close to midnight as I drove past the Armory after a concert…when I spotted 4 dark figures struggling down the sidewalk with a set of drums and 3 guitar cases. When they walked under a streetlight I thought I recognized them. Pulling to the curb, I rolled down my passenger window & yelled, ‘Hey, Buddy Holly, is that you!?’ ‘Yes,’ they called back…’You guys want a lift?!’ I offered…I got out and opened my trunk, and we put Jerry Allison’s drum kit in it. The three Crickets got in the back seat, and Buddy Holly sat in front. They had to rest the three guitars on their laps in back…

I sang my song to them in the hotel after they put everything away, and they gave me a business card with Norman Petty’s address in New Mexico. They said he’d critique my song if I sent him a copy. We then got back into the car & I drove to [a] restaurant. As we sat down around a big table I saw a jukebox nearby, so I played ‘That’ll be the Day’ as the waitress came over. I was on ‘Cloud 9’ the whole time, and they were really nice, polite young men, I couldn’t believe the whole episode. I just had to brag a bit, so I asked the waitress, ‘Honey, do you know who these 4 guys are?’ ‘No,’ she said. ‘Well, you hear that song?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Well, that’s these guys, Buddy Holly & the Crickets!!’ She said, ‘You’re pulling my leg.’ No, I’m not. Buddy…sing along with the record & prove it to her.’

Buddy did, & she said, ‘I’ll be,,,can I have your autographs?’ So I said, ‘Yeah, me too.’ They signed the back of the business card since there wasn’t anything else around. Afterwards I took them back to the hotel, shook their hands, & said good-bye.

About 8-9 months later, Buddy was killed in the plane crash.” Starting Bid $1000

Cream autographs from early 1967 5242. Cream Signatures and Handbill.

Brilliant blue ballpoint signatures of Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker on an off-white 6.25 x 3.75 card. In very good to fine condition, with somewhat irregular overall soiling. Included is the original light green 5 x 8.25 handbill promoting the Cream concert where the signatures were obtained: the Stourbridge Town Hall in West Midlands on January 18, 1967. Also includes a color 10 x 8 photo of the band.

Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker were England’s premier musicians—this power trio defined the term ‘supergroup’ (which didn’t exist until they formed), and they were the cream of the crop, without peer. Their legendary improvised live performances were ferocious, melding jazz, blues, and rock into extended jams that left both band and their audiences spent by night’s end. They were three opposites who had one thing in common: they were virtuosos and knew how good they were and that it was too good to last. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA and by a letter of provenance from the original recipient: “I worked at Stourbridge Town Hall from 1964 to 1967 helping out backstage and sometimes front of house. If the caretaker was not back from his meal break, I would let the groups into the building and help them set up. Fred Bannister promotions booked the top groups of the day to appear on Wednesday nights, with smaller local groups playing on Saturday nights. I met all the groups and obtained their autographs.

When Cream played I got them to sign a couple pieces of card that I had cut at my place of work. One was for a friend, the other I kept. I remember that night as being a sell out with 100’s of Mods in long jackets giving the group a rousing reception.”

Full sets of Cream autographs from when they were at their peak in the 60s are extraordinarily difficult to come by, with this example representing the boldest set of Cream signatures that we have ever offered. Starting Bid $200

Apple Corps acetates for the Tommy soundtrack, different from the released version 5256. The Who 1974 Tommy Soundtrack Acetates. Two double-sided 12˝ stereo acetates of The Who’s soundtrack for the 1975 film Tommy, each disc differing from the final release.

The album was mastered at Apple Studios on July 17, 1974. Both discs are identified in type on Apple Corps Ltd. labels with the album title, “Tommy,” and side listed.

Differences from the released album are as follows: Side 1: Opens with music from the 1940s BBC Radio program, ‘Music While You Work,’ and air-raid siren sound effects; ‘Christmas’ has a longer guitar/piano end section.

Side 2: ‘The Acid Queen’ is missing; the opening ‘Eyesight To The Blind’ is followed by ‘Do You Think It’s Alright?’; ‘Sparks’ is followed by ‘Pinball Wizard’, which lacks opening vocal backing, with no ‘Extra, Extra, Extra.’

Side 3: ‘I’m Free’ has a different vocal performance and is followed by ‘Miracle Cure,’ with no ‘Mother And Son.’ Side 4: Opens with a reprise of ‘I’m Free / Sensation’; ‘T.V. Studio’ has a longer piano section to end the track; and ‘Tommy’s Holiday Camp’ has longer instrumental sections and different vocals.

In overall very good to fine condition. Tommy was first released by The Who in 1969, an album they envisioned as a singular ‘rock opera,’ telling the story of a ‘deaf, dumb and blind kid.’ In 1975, it was adapted for the screen with a star-studded cast that included members of The Who, Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Elton John, and Jack Nicholson. Pete Townshend oversaw the production of an entirely new Tommy album for the soundtrack, this time using synthesizers to create orchestral arrangements he had envisioned and taking advantage of the available musicians—Elton John’s rendition of ‘Pinball Wizard’ was later released as a single and became a top-ten hit. While these acetates feature the soundtrack in traditional stereo form, Tommy was especially innovative in that it was one of the first music films that used multichannel ‘quintaphonic sound,’ similar to the surround sound systems of today.

Sib Hashian Collection Legendary drummer Sib Hashian made music history by joining Boston in 1975 to record their self-titled debut album, which became an overnight sensation—released by Epic in August 1976, Boston broke records to become the best-selling debut album in the US at the time. Hashian’s steady, energetic drumming anchored classic tracks like ‘Peace of Mind,’ ‘Foreplay/ Long Time,’ and ‘More Than a Feeling,’ which Rolling Stone later praised as “a cathedral to young-adult male romantic yearning, with every second scientifically crafted for maximum impact—right down to Sib Hashian’s climactic drum fills in the final fade-out.”

Hashian returned to the studio for the band’s second album, Don’t Look Back, released in 1978, again providing the consistent rhythms for hit songs like ‘Don’t Look Back,’ ‘A Man I’ll Never Be,’ and ‘Feelin’ Satisfied.’ With Boston, Hashian toured the country and the world, performing before sold-out crowds at legendary venues like NYC’s Madison Square Garden, London’s Rainbow Theatre at Finsbury Park, and Tokyo’s Budokan.

Following his time with the group, Hashian played drums on Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau’s 1980 solo album, and occasionally gigged with Goudreau and fellow former bandmates Fran Sheehan and Brad Delp. He later recorded with Sammy Hagar as an unofficial member of The Waboritas, and alongside Goudreau in Ernie Boch, Jr.’s band Ernie and the Automatics.

A civic-minded individual, Hashian served his country as a First Lieutenant in the Vietnam War, and remained involved with charities including My Brother’s Table and the Doug Flutie Foundation. The Sib Hashian Scholarship Fund will keep his legacy alive by funding music and arts programs in the public school systems.

5304. David Bowie Autograph Letter Signed. ALS signed “Yours in Dharma, Bowie,” two pages both sides, 8 x 13, no

date but circa 1969. Letter to fellow musician Dick Jones of The Drama Band, concerning a gig at the Three Turns Pub organized by the Beckenham Arts Lab, a collective with which Bowie was heavily involved early on. Written in the summer of 1969 shortly before Bowie’s career took off with the release of Space Oddity, Bowie adds his contact info at the head: “650-3432, David Bowie, Flt. 1, 24 Foxgrove Rd, Beckenham, Kent.”

In full: “Firstly this is to confirm that we wish you to appear at the Three Turns, Beckenham, High St. on Aug. 3rd somewhere between the hours of 7:30 and 10:45 for a duration of anything you like but for not less than 3/4 of an hour. The bread that shall pass hands will be £10 English currency, in accordance with the rules of the present monetary system. There you go, baby. I’m really looking forward to seeing your band, unless I’m mistaken we should have a very happy constructive evening with interplay from both sides.

On the subject of ayency (sic) my ideas are embryonic and fluid but what we do have together is the following: 1. 4 bands (local) who have no work: a) Sin Therio, an awkward sounding tribal/folk sound, b) Oswald K. poetry/free-form/Jazz/Rock, c) Giles & Abdul Indo/blues duo with vocals, d) Midget, a 30 piece rock-orchestra. Midget is the most exciting venture yet, but I also have a lot of feeling for the others.

2. A number of colleges and labs call us for suggestions as to who they could book. 3. A telephone, paper, and office facilities.

4. Mary Finnigan, joint co-ordinator of the Lab (known as Growth). A good talker and hustler. 5. Enthusiasm. So as not to stamp on the toes of ‘Catalyst’ we would steer away from mass agency concepts ie not have 3000 blues-groups on books. We would concentrate only on music/visual/oral–activity media.

We should have only a limited number of groups to deal with. Say 10 at the most. As the agency would work on a temporary basis we would have time to concentrate on each of these groups with care. Whenever a booking is obtained for a group, paid, free, or expenses (say 3/6). This would keep us running.

It might also interest you to know that we have now secured our own record label Undergrowth, which will be in operation within two months. Apart from the studios we have a first class distribution tie-up which will place us alongside EMI, Decca, etc. in any and every record shop. Your ideas please.” He adds a postscript: “Headed paper isn’t printed yet? Next week maybe!

Oh! And a S.E. underground paper. If you wanted any details of the Lab, please don’t hesitate to ask. We have a million and 1 things going successfully. I may sound over-opt on things but it’s because I’m so excited by what’s happening down here. Dig?” In fine condition, with general light handling wear. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a detailed provenance statement from Dick Jones, in which he states that Bowie traveled to his home and played several songs to him, one of which was a two-section version of ‘Space Oddity.’ The Drama Band did end up performing at the Three Tuns gig as a support to Bowie.

The record is not included.

A little basic research tells me that would have been 6th January 1980 and that they were supported by local band The Purple Hipsters…When The Clash drove up in their minibus before the show Simonon and Jones got out ignoring the awkward school boy clutching his albums. Strummer got out and called the others back to sign my collection. I was so ill-prepared I didn’t even have a pen. One of the crew came to my rescue and lent me one. When Strummer went to sign the front of the album I asked him not to—I did not want to deface the iconic image of Simonon smashing his bass on the stage. So, the band signed the back of the album instead—I believe this makes the item particularly rare.” Starting Bid $200

Über rare German pressing of Prince’s legendary ‘Black’ album— the first to surface in 30 years 5363. Prince Black Album. Extremely rare original 1987 German first pressing of The Black Album by Prince (WX 147 / 925 677-1), with catalog number printed in orange ink on the spine and barcode/copyright information sticker affixed directly to back cover, standard of European releases given that albums were typically not shrink-wrapped.

Also in keeping with the original pressing: matrix numbers to both sides of record, “R/S Alsdorf 925677–1–A2” and “R/S Alsdorf 925677–1–B”; the small orange triangles to labels with white ‘33’ numbers; and back cover embossed with Warner Bros. logo. In the 30 years since the album was scheduled for release, roughly 20 European copies, pressed at WEA’s plant in Alsdorf, Germany, and eight American copies have emerged for sale.

In fine condition.

The Black Album, also known as The Funk Bible, was originally intended to be released on December 8, 1987, with an entirely black sleeve and no printed title or song credits. A week before its release date, Prince had the album withdrawn after having a spiritual experience that convinced him the album was ‘evil.’ Warner Bros. worked extremely hard to destroy all of the 500,000 copies that had been pressed—very few survived, making extant examples among the rarest records in the world. The Black Album was later released as a limited edition CD and cassette by Warner Bros. in 1994, and then digitally via Tidal in 2016.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of authenticity from Jeff Gold, the owner of Recordmecca and a former executive vice president/ general manager of Warner Bros. Records, who worked closely with Prince during the 1990s and art directed numerous album covers for him, including ‘Diamonds & Pearls,’ ’Love Symbol,’ and ‘The Hits/The B-Sides.’ Gold writes, in part: “Immediately after the decision to pull The Black Album from stores, the album emerged on the streets in bootleg form, arguably becoming popular music’s most legendary bootleg since The Beach Boys’ aborted 1967 album Smile…In the ensuing years, a handful of original CD copies surfaced…A few original German vinyl pressings have also surfaced, but most that have been sold have been extremely convincing counterfeit copies…This example, in near perfect condition, was made for the European market at Warner’s pressing plant in Alsdorf, Germany. It can be distinguished from…counterfeit pressings by virtue of its stamped matrix numbers (Side A: R/S Alsdorf 925677–1–A2 and Side B: R/S Alsdorf 925677–1–B, the white (instead of black) ‘33’ in a triangle at the bottom of each label, and the embossed ‘W’ on the back of the album cover…This is the only authentic example we’ve seen in 30 years, and comes from a French record executive’s collection.” Starting Bid $2500

5366. Prince’s Personally-Owned Comic Book and Fanzine. Prince’s personal copies of two rare and out of print

Prince-related publications: an issue of the 1991 comic book published by DC Comics (Piranha Music) in association with Paisley Park, entitled Prince: Alter Ego, 6.75 x 10.25, 32 pages, published in advance of Prince’s 1991 release Diamonds and Pearls.

The story, written by Dwayne McDuffie and drawn by Denys Cowan and Kent Williams, tells the story of Prince’s battle against a destructive musical foe. The second item is an official issue of Controversy fanzine from June 1991, issue No. 29, 23 pages, 8.25 x 11.75, with sections dedicated to “US News,” “Minneapolis / Paisley Park,” “Lyrics,” “Paisley Artists,” “Associated Artists,” “International Prince Convention,” and “Sargeant Reviews.” Also included is a Sunday Magazine insert for the Star Tribune from August 14, 1988, which contains one of the first articles on Paisley Park Studios.

5367. Prince Graffiti Bridge Script Page with Handwritten Notes. Original page from Prince’s

hand-edited second draft script for the 1990 film Graffiti Bridge, 7.25 x 9.25, no date but circa early October 1987. The page, marked “Page 23,” features seven words in Prince’s hand: he writes “one word” three times, and “underline” once, in addition to circling a line and making one deletion. Double-matted and framed with a descriptive plaque to an overall size of 13 x 16.

Includes a promo card for the film. In fine condition. The complete original script, sold by RR Auction in February 2018, originated from the collection of Prince’s former assistant; accompanied by a color copy of the original letter of provenance.

In mid-September of 1987, Prince finished his first script for a musical film project entitled Graffiti Bridge, which featured himself in the lead role as Camille, and costarred Madonna as his former flame, Ruthie Washington. In keeping with his vision of ‘a musical fantasy shot on theatrical sets,’ Prince planned to cast several of his own band members in the film—Atlanta Bliss as Joshua, Eric Leeds as Sax, Cat Glover as Vienna, Greg Brooks as Gruff, and Wally Safford as Puff. In mid-October, a brief three-day script conference with Madonna proved disastrous, with the singer-actress publicly ridiculing the script and dismissing any potential collaboration. As a result, the original Graffiti Bridge script was abandoned and the project placed on hiatus until 1989. Graffiti Bridge continued to have script problems and underwent several revisions before a screenplay was finalized on February 7, 1990; the script alterations effectively made the film a quasi-sequel to Purple Rain. Although the film earned negative reviews and poor box-office totals, the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack was regarded highly and reached gold sales figures in both the UK and America. Starting Bid $200

Prince’s lyrics for ‘Velvet Kitty Cat’—“Wish she had a boyfriend [meow!] but they were all rats” 5368. Prince Handwritten Lyrics for ‘Velvet Kitty Cat’.

Handwritten lyrics in pencil for “Velvet Kitty Cat” by Prince, unsigned, one page, 7.75 x 10.5, no date (circa 1983). The lyrics read, in full: “You oughta rock, you oughta roll my Velvet Kitty Cat / She’s man’s best friend furry, cuddly and fat / Take a swing, you’re up to bat / Velvet Kitty Cat / Every day, and all night my Velvet Kitty Cat / Wish she had a boyfriend [meow!] but they were all rats / There was nothing underneath their hats / Sad kitty cat (lead line) / Don’t want no money, no fancy cars, and that’s a fact / I just want a boy to eat up all my cookies ‘til he gets fat (laugh) / I want true love and that’s that / Velvet Kitty Cat (solo) (meow in breaks) / You oughta rock, you oughta roll, my Velvet Kitty Cat / She’s man’s best friend, furry, cuddly and fat / I’ll let u pet her but then you gotta scat! / Velvet Kitty Cat / (lead line) / You can pet her, but then u / Gotta scat! / Velvet Kitty Cat / (lead line) / I want true love and that’s that / Velvet Kitty Cat.” In the upper right next to the song title Prince adds: “By Susan.” In fine condition. From the personal collection of Susan Moonsie, a former girlfriend of Prince and a vocalist for his protégé female groups Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6, who notes that Prince wrote these lyrics for her to sing on Apollonia 6’s discontinued second album.

Basic tracking for ‘Velvet Kitty Cat’ took place at Hollywood’s Sunset Sound on April 20, 1983, and was recorded in a session with other songs for The Time’s forthcoming third album, Ice Cream Castle. Prince initially considered saving the music for Vanity 6’s sophomore album, but when Vanity (Denise Matthews) departed the group, the work was then intended for use on Apollonia 6’s next release, which, in turn, would also never come to pass. Prince later revised the song with a ‘rockabilly’ feel and ‘Velvet Kitty Cat,’ some 30 years later, was released as a bonus track on the Purple Rain Deluxe album in 2017. A sensationally rare set of handwritten lyrics from Prince, written for a woman that inspired many of his songs—according to Per Nilsen, Prince’s biographer, the song ‘When Doves Cry’ was inspired by his relationship with Moonsie.

1990s Very Rare Nirvana Signed Bleach 1st pressing CD by the 3 members who played on the album

5412. Nirvana Signed CD. Hugely desirable first pressing of the Bleach CD by Nirvana, signed on the front of the booklet in black felt tip by Kurt Cobain (“Kurdt”), Chris Novoselic (“Chris”), and “Chad Channing,” and the inside of the booklet signed “CHAD” by Dave Grohl. In fine condition. The CD is included. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL, a photo of Channing at the time of signing, as well as by a letter of provenance from the original recipient: “This Nirvana signed Bleach cover was signed at Liberty Lunch, Austin, TX, on October 21, 199[1]. Nirvana was performing at Liberty Lunch that day. The Nirvana Bleach CD was signed by Kurt Cobain, Chris Novoselic on the front of the CD cover and Dave Grohl wrote ‘CHAD’ on the inside of the CD cover. Dave Grohl did not play on this album. Chad Channing was the drummer on the Bleach album.

Chad Channing autograph was added onto the cover recently…This Nirvana Bleach CD is the US 1st pressing CD which is quite rare. The lettering ‘Nirvana’ on the CD cover is in silver print. This is one of 2 known Nirvana Bleach CD covers that are signed by the 3 original members of Nirvana.”

Titled after an AIDS prevention poster advising heroin addicts to bleach their needles before use, Nirvana’s debut studio album was released on June 15, 1989 by Seattle record label Sub Pop. Although the album features three tracks with drums recorded at an earlier date by Dale Cover—’Floyd the Barber,’ ‘Paper Cuts,’ and ‘Downer’—Chad Channing assumed drum duties when Nirvana entered the studio in December 1988; Dave Grohl was recruited in the spring of 1990, after Channing, frustrated with his lack of involvement in the song writing, mutually parted ways with the band. Bleach earned steady, modest album sales and warm praise from critics, but it wasn’t until the release of Nirvana’s breakthrough follow-up effort, Nevermind, that Bleach was introduced to the music market on a much greater scale. A massively appealing multi-signed Nirvana album, now deemed a grunge rock masterpiece. Starting Bid $500

Captured by Chris Cuffaro during a photo session shortly after Grohl joined the band, this classic portrait of Nirvana portrays the group posing in an alleyway, dressed in their grunge finest—ripped jeans, leather jackets, and studded belts. They had just begun to achieve mainstream success, and would soon release their first album on a major label, Nevermind.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

exclude any person from the Auction.

ANYONE EITHER REGISTERING TO BID OR PLACING A BID (“BIDDER”) ACCEPTS THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND ENTERS INTO A LEGALLY, BINDING, ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT WITH R&R AUCTION COMPANY OF MASSACHUSETTS, LLC (“RR AUCTION,” TOGETHER WITH BIDDER, THE “PARTIES”).

If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid.

The following terms and conditions (“Conditions of Sale”) constitute the sole terms and conditions under which RR Auction will offer for sale and sell the property described in the catalog of items for auction (the “Catalog”). These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding agreement between the Parties with respect to the auction in which Bidder participates (the “Auction”). By bidding at the Auction, whether in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, online, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any other means, Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms.

RR Auction and Auction: This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction.com Internet site (“RRauction.com”).

The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

Bidder: Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale by RR Auction and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein. If Bidder is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to RR Auction prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal.

The rights granted to Bidder under these Conditions of Sale are personal and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise without the express written assent of RR Auction. Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey these Conditions of Sale or any of the rights herein, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder by these Conditions of Sale, and no third party is intended as a beneficiary of these Conditions of Sale.

Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent’s written consent containing an acknowledgment of the Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder.

All Bidders must meet RR Auction’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of RR Auction may be disqualified at RR Auction’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by RR Auction in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to

By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Credit: In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of RR Auction. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number, or the last four digits thereof, so a credit check may be performed prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid.

Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue.

Buyer’s Premium: The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed and live Auctions. Buyer’s premium for our Sports Auctions is 20%. For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later.

Bidding: Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s), rather than the strict reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF VALUATION CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES. RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder.

Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until

the lot is paid for in full by Bidder. RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder.

It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all RISK OF LOSS once the lot(s) is in Bidder’s possession.

Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a purchase money security interest in such sums or items to the extent applicable, and agrees to execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction.

RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders.

In the event of a successful challenge to the title to any goods purchased pursuant to these Conditions of Sale and the exclusive remedies provided herein, RR Auction agrees to reimburse any Bidder in an amount equal to the successful bid price actually paid by Bidder at auction plus any Buyer’s Premium actually paid, in full and complete satisfaction of all claims, which once tendered by RR Auction, relieves and releases RR Auction from any responsibility whatsoever to the Bidder, even if the instrument is not cashed or is returned.

Bidding Options: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid.

When identical mail or facsimile bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins.

In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction.

RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale.

All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Payment: Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than thirty (30) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.

All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements.

All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks.

In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment.

If RR Auction refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other

collection costs incurred by RR Auction. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.

RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale.

In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the “Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession.

All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. Sales Tax: RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from our bidders. The states that we have nexus in we will be required to collect and remit sales tax on your behalf. Each state has different requirements to meet nexus. When RR Auction has achieved a certain monetary and/or invoice threshold in each state we will apply sales tax to your total invoice. Please go to our terms on our website to see the states that are affected.

If we have not achieved nexus in a particular state it is still your responsibility to pay sales tax on your purchases.

The sales tax rate is determined by the State, Country, and City where purchases are shipped to. If you decide to pick up your purchases at our New Hampshire location you will not be required to pay sales tax. The State of New Hampshire does not have a general sales and use tax. All purchases picked up at our Massachusetts location will be taxed at the current rate of 6.25%.

Pennsylvania sales or use tax may be due in connection with the purchase and delivery of tangible personal property to Pennsylvania individuals and businesses. The purchaser is required to file a use tax return if tax is due in connection with the purchase and delivery in the Commonwealth. This notice is required pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Code of 1971. 72 P.S. § 7213.2.

If you have a resale number please email Sue@RRAuction.com or fax to (603) 732-4288 a copy of your state resale certificate and you will be exempt from paying sales tax.

Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: Bidder is liable for shipping and handling. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on

file with RR Auction.

Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States.

NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot.

Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.

Title: Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

Rights Reserved: RR Auction reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone.

Conducting the Auction: RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the Auction or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages.

RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auction’s record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.

Reserves: Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own.

Off-Site Bidding: Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form.

RR Auction’s Remedies: Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other

available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies.

Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any property in RR Auction’s possession owned by such Bidder.

RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices.

Warranties: RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold “as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

Limitation of Damages: In the event that RR Auction is prevented for any reason from delivering any property to Bidder, or Bidder is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of RR Auction, the liability, if any, of RR Auction, shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, the amount actually paid for the property by Bidder. In no event shall RR Auction be liable for incidental, special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of profits, value of investment or opportunity cost.

All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid

Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly.

All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage and only as explicitly stated therein (the “Certification of Authenticity”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code.

The Certification of Authenticity inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the Certification of Authenticity, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. The Certification of Authenticity is valid from date of the Auction in which Bidder was awarded the lot (the “Auction Date”) until five (5) years after the Auction Date, without exception.

FIREARMS. RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Unauthorized Statements: Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued

by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties.

Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

Bidder’s Remedies: Under no circumstance will RR Auction incur liability to a Bidder in excess of the purchase price actually paid.

This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder in conformity with the Warranties and Limitation of Damages provisions of these Conditions of Sale, and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, in the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction shall make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand, RR Auction shall disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and assign to Bidder all of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and assignment, all responsibility and liability, if any, of RR Auction with respect to said lot or property shall automatically terminate. RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction - this remedy is as to the Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

If Bidder wishes to challenge the AC within the period of the Certification of Authenticity, Bidder must present written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field. If RR Auction agrees that the lot is not as represented, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be a refund of their purchase price, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable. If RR Auction does not agree with the claim by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale.

Any such challenge concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Bidder’s notice to RR Auction of Bidder’s contention that the lot was not authentic, or six (6) years from the Auction Date, whichever is sooner.

If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), the lot is returnable if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and the AC, then the description in the AC shall control. This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE. RR Auction’s Additional Services: For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and

carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

Headings: Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer.

Entire Agreement: These Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties.

If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

Governing Law and Enforcement The Parties agree that any agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location.

The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, and any other related agreement(s) are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”).

The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. The Parties agree that Bidder shall have no right to recover consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits damages.

The Parties consent to the enforcement of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in either the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

Except as provided in Bidder’s Remedies with regard to the Certification of Authenticity, any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other agreement(s) between the Parties must be brought within one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances giving rise to the alleged claim, without exceptions. This provision is intended

as a full, complete and absolute release of any claims after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding on all parties in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by either RR Auction or Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.

The Bidder hereby agrees that RR Auction shall be entitled to present these Conditions of Sale to a court in any jurisdiction other than set forth in this paragraph as conclusive evidence of the Parties’ agreement, and the Parties further agree that the court shall immediately dismiss any action filed in such jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration related to or arising out of any Auction of an item sold for less than $10,000. This right shall relate to the individual item price, such that RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration for items that in the aggregate exceed $10,000. The prevailing Party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the proceeding, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. This right of enforcement is unique to RR Auction, and these Conditions of Sale are a waiver by the Bidder of any right to enforcement or adjudication outside of an Arbitration.

CONDUCT OF AUCTION Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

Owned or Guaranteed Property: RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction.

Before the Auction: Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment.

Maximum Bids – All Auctions: To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then

bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum.

Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, nonincremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid.

Successful Bids: The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will record the paddle number of the Bidder. If Bidder’s salesroom or absentee bid is successful, Bidder will be notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice.

Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.

Bidding—Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/ EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”).

The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any

time at its sole discretion.

Bidding - Internet – Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

GLOSSARY OF CONDITION TERMS

Property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids.

Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through one or more of the following Third Party services: www. liveauctioneers.com, www.invaluable.com and www.icollector. com. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. RR Auction treats any third-party site bids as floor or telephone bids. Floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over third party sites bids, and floor bids are considered earlier than telephone bids. All RR Auction lots purchased through the third party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium.

Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement.

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with “do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction

Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety.

For decades, RR Auction has led the industry in providing an accurate and detailed condition statement for each item that we sell. Starting in 2016 we’ve decided to take a fresh approach to describing each item’s condition.

As our website and catalog images continually improve, and bidders can see obvious details from those excellent images, we’ve decided to simplify things, using the same terminology to describe an item’s overall condition (on an ascending scale of 1 to 4: good, very good, fine, very fine), but only adding specific details, if any, that would not be obvious from the illustration.

VERY FINE describes an item in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance.

FINE is the most common statement of condition, and applies to most items that we offer. It describes items that show expected handling wear, generally acceptable random flaws (such as light creases, small bends, etc.), and an overall appearance that is pleasing to the majority of collectors.

VERY GOOD describes an item that exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or repairs, etc.). Most collectors would be comfortable with items in very good condition, and this would be the expected condition for many formats (early presidential documents, for example).

GOOD describes an item with obvious visible flaws, including heavy wear, missing portions, or repairs that affect appearance; generally items in this condition are offered only if an item is otherwise exceedingly rare or important.

Of course we’re more than happy to provide more in-depth information about any item via phone or email. We hope this new system will make for easier reading and a more pleasant bidding experience.
