vintage ballpoint signatures, “John Lennon,” “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” and “Ringo Starr,” on a light blue 7.75 x 5 aerogramme, signed at the Deauville Hotel in Miami on February 15, 1964, their rehearsal day for their second appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. The signatures were obtained by Marie Donaldson, a UK press officer for ABC Television, and sent to her nephew in New Zealand. Inside is a note from Donaldson, in part: “Here at last are the precious autographs I got from The Beatles! You will have read my letter all about the day I spent with them at the T.V. Studios. They are very nice & quite unspoilt by their success.” In very good condition, with moderate overall creasing and handling wear, and a few unobtrusive corner staple holes.

5005. Beatles 1964 Paris Olympia Program. Vintage

program for the Beatles’ residency at the Paris Olympia in France which took place between January 16 and February 4, 1964, 20 pages, 9.5 x 12.25, featuring a variety of advertisements along with images and information regarding the Beatles and the other acts on the bill, including Trini Lopez and Sylvie Vartan. In very good condition, with a vertical fold, moderate overall creasing, and a few interior stains.

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.

The Beatles began an 18-day stint at Paris’ Olympia Theatre as part of a nine-act bill, playing two and sometimes three sets each day. Songs included ‘From Me to You,’ ‘Roll Over Beethoven,’ ‘She Loves You,’ ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand,’ ‘Twist And Shout,’ and ‘Long Tall Sally,’ with some tunes cut out as part of an abbreviated matinee. The regal performance hall was somewhat ill equipped for the Fab Four, with the band’s amplifiers blowing the theater’s fuses three separate times during their second show. During that same performance, a mob of French photographers backstage became embroiled in a fistfight that spilled onto the stage, resulting in a stoppage of the concert and temporarily forcing the Beatles from the theater.

After leaving Hamburg’s Star-Club for the last time on January 1, 1963, the Beatles returned to Germany only once: in June 1966, for a five-day, six-concert tour, playing shows in Munich, Essen, and Hamburg. Since the tour was a short one, no posters were made for individual dates—just this ‘Bravo’ poster was produced, depicting the Beatles and advertising opening acts the Rebel Rousers, The Rattles, and Peter & Gordon. A desirable example of a scarce Beatles poster. Starting Bid $200

5007. Beatles and Helen Shapiro 1963 Program.

Original concert program for Helen Shapiro’s 1963 UK tour which took place between February 2nd and March 3rd, twelve pages, 8 x 10.75, with program featuring biographies and images for the tour’s supporting acts: The Beatles, Danny Williams, Kenny Lynch, Dave Allen, The Kestrels, Red Price Band, and The Honeys.

Vintage program from the royal world premiere of the Beatles’ second feature film, Help!, held at the London Pavilion in Piccadilly Circus on July 29, 1965, twenty-eight pages, 8.5 x 11, with the front cover showing the Beatles standing on the film title and noting the attendance of Princess Margaret and the Earl of Snowdon. In fine condition, with small corner creases and light handling wear. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Inspired by the Goon Show and the Marx Brothers classic Duck Soup, Help! saw the Fab Four tackling comedy with a James Bond twist, fending off an evil cult from seizing a sacrificial ring attached to Ringo’s hand. The enormous premiere was attended by Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon and the Earl of Snowdon, and despite not earning as rave reviews as A Hard Day’s Night, the film has since been credited for influencing the development of music videos. Starting Bid $200

Phenomenal full set of Beatles signatures, signed en route to their final 1966 USA tour 5011. Beatles Signatures. Vintage circa 1966 ballpoint signatures of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison on the reverse of an off-white 6 x 8 British European Airways stationery sheet. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing and intersecting folds.

The consignor notes: “These autographs were collected by my father and given as a gift to my mother, when they were still dating in 1966. Both of my parents were working in the VIP lounge at Heathrow airport in London, England.

My father was a wine sommelier working his way through college and my mother was a waitress. The Beatles were on their way to tour America. This trip actually ended up being their last commercial tour of the USA. The autographs have been in my family ever since. I am hoping that they will find a way to a place where they can be appreciated as well as the romantic story that had them collected all those years ago.” The Beatles’ 1966 tour of America marked their final commercial concert tour, and included historic shows at Shea Stadium and Candlestick Park. Following this tour they dedicated themselves to recording in the studio, and their lack of public appearances made their autographs even harder to get. A simply ideal set of Beatles autographs— crisply signed and well-spaced, a superb display piece.

Fully signed backstage artist’s pass for the controversial 1963 Royal Variety Performance 5014. Beatles Signed 1963 Royal Command Backstage Pass.

Rare and immensely desirable “Artistes and Staff” backstage pass, 4.5 x 3.5, for the infamous appearance of the Beatles at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London on November 4, 1963, for a royal variety performance before Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother, issued to Philip Rose as a courtesy of Pinky and Perky, marionette pigs who also performed that night; Philip Rose was one of the puppeteers. Signed on the reverse in black ballpoint, “Beatles, Paul McCartney,” “John Lennon,” “George Harrison,” and “Ringo Starr.” In very good to fine condition, with light overall soiling, and a small area of surface loss to the top center of the signed side.

Accompanied by five letters of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, one reading, in part: “The Beatles performed before the Queen Mother, and the fact that they were invited to this event was proof positive that The Beatles had ‘made it’ in Great Britain. All four have signed the pass beautifully in black ballpoint…This was a very important night in the history of The Beatles, and this signed pass is a highly coveted memento from that special evening.

This is a rare and extremely desirable item, with very few being signed on the night of the event, and one of only 3 which have surfaced, these actually being much rarer than signed programs from the event.”

The band’s selection as part of the Royal Variety Performance did much to propel Beatlemania across the whole of England.

The group performed four songs—’From Me To You,’ ‘She Loves You,’ ‘Till There Was You,’ and ‘Twist and Shout’—and when ITV broadcasted the show a week later on November 10, an estimated 21 million people tuned in. This was also the event where John Lennon took a jab at the Crown with his famous bit of stage banter: ‘For our last number I’d like to ask your help.

The people in the cheaper seats clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you’d just rattle your jewelry.’ A magnificent, fully signed piece from one of the earliest Beatles controversies. Starting Bid $1000

The Fab Four invade Germany with the ‘Bravo-Beatles-Blitztournee’ 5015. Beatles Signed Card. Vintage mid-1966 black ballpoint signatures of John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr on a white 6.25 x 3.5 card with affixed color images of the band as they appeared in the film Help! In fine condition.

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks, as well as a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, who notes that the signatures were obtained “when The Beatles were in Germany to perform concerts there in 3 cities: Munich, Essen, and Hamburg, with this short tour being referred to as ‘The Bravo-Beatles-Blitztournee.’ These shows took place between June 24 and 26, 1966.”

The ‘Bravo-Beatles-Blitztournee’ was the Beatles’ only full tour of Germany, a six-show and three-day leg that culminated in their first return to Hamburg since their days at The Star-Club. Beatles autograph sets from 1966—in particular from this brief German tour, undertaken just days after the final recording session of Revolver—are incredibly scarce and desirable. Starting Bid $1000

Brilliant Help! soundtrack signed by three Beatles and their producer 5016. Beatles Signed Album.

Help! original motion picture soundtrack album signed on the front cover in blue felt tip by George Harrison and Paul McCartney, in black felt tip by Ringo Starr, and on the back cover in blue felt tip by George Martin. In very good to fine condition, with overall light soiling and scuffing.

The record is included. Inspired by the Goon Show and the Marx Brothers classic Duck Soup, Help! saw the Fab Four tackling comedy with a James Bond twist, fending off an evil cult from seizing a sacrificial ring attached to Ringo’s hand. The enormous premiere was attended by Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon and the Earl of Snowdon, and despite not earning as rave reviews as A Hard Days Night, the film has since been credited for influencing the development of music videos.

Reflecting solemnly on Harrison’s reluctance to sign following John Lennon’s 1980 murder at the hands of one-time autograph seeker Mark David Chapman, Brennan remembers “I only met him around the time of his solo album (Cloud Nine), a small window of time. He wasn’t against signing, per se; he was against getting killed.” Of Harrison, John says, “He was extremely reclusive. I saw him at Heathrow airport in 1988, and near a HandMade Films set; I saw him in NYC at the studio with Clapton in the late 1980s.” And chillingly, when Brennan asked for his autograph Harrison remarked, “Sure…As long as you’re not going to kill me.” From The John Brennan In-person Autograph Collection. Starting Bid $500

Also includes a detailed letter of provenance from the original recipient, who acquired the signatures before their concert at the Las Vegas Convention Center on August 20, 1964. A group of teenage girls had traveled to the concert to present the Beatles with a ‘Key to the City’ of Phoenix, Arizona, and in describing her outfit, the original recipient notes, “I added white gloves on purpose, so the Beatles would have to hold my hand when I asked for them to be autographed.” A unique set of autographs with outstanding provenance and an interesting history.

We won a competition on the local radio which meant that not only had we won free tickets to the show but also a chance to meet them in the flesh backstage beforehand…On the night of the show, we were escorted into a room…to see the Beatles just sat there talking and smoking away. It was strange and I just froze, one of the others went forward and they started talking so I moved forwards nervously until Ringo asked me my name. He signed all my stuff then so did John, Paul and George.” An absolutely amazing oversized, fully signed Beatles piece. Starting Bid $1000

Amazing John & Yoko calendar signed during their ‘War Is Over’ press stop at the University of Toronto 5032. John Lennon and Yoko Ono Signed Calendar. Spiral-bound John & Yoko calendar for 1970 originally packaged with the Plastic Ono Band’s 1969 live album Live Peace in Toronto 1969. The calendar measures 10.25 x 10.25 and is signed and inscribed on the first page in black felt tip, “To Mike with love and peace from John Lennon” and “Yoko Ono Lennon.”

Additionally, John has added two large facial caricatures of himself and his wife below. The Live Peace in Toronto 1969 album and record are included, a Decca pressing retaining its original shrinkwrap (slit along the edge) with a transparent hype sticker on the reverse: “Including John and Yoko 1970 Calendar.” In fine condition.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: “I had the pleasure of meeting with John Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon just prior to an interview with my father, Marshall McLuhan, which took place on Tuesday December 23rd [sic], 1969. He graciously offered me the articles at that time. The meeting and the interview is chronicled in the book by Thomas MacFarlane: The Beatles and McLuhan; Understanding The Electric Age published by Scarecrow Press.”

A letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo and a certificate of authenticity from Tracks also accompany the calendar. The Caiazzo letter reads, in part: “John’s signature is a magnificent example from the period and this is more than likely because the calendar was signed for the son of Marshall McLuhan, who interviewed John and Yoko on camera for 45 minutes on December 20, 1969, at his office at the University of Toronto.” A portion of the Tracks certificate reads as follows: “The signatures were signed for Michael McLuhan, son of Marshall McLuhan. McLuhan interviewed the Lennons on 20th December 1969 at the Department of Culture and Technology, University of Toronto…The autographs are accompanied by a pen drive which shows the full interview.” The referenced “pen drive,” or USB flash drive, containing the McLuhan-Lennon interview is indeed included. Lennon left the Beatles in September 1969, and directed his creative focus to projects with his new wife, Yoko Ono, which included the formation of The Plastic Ono Band. Lennon and Ono were vocal peace activists during this time period, and routinely combined advocacy with performance art. At the time of this proposed interview, Lennon and Ono paid for a campaign to construct billboards in 10 cities around the world, each one declaring, in the respective national language, ‘War Is Over! If You Want It.’ In December 1969, Lennon and Ono returned to Canada for the final leg of their year long campaign for peace. Prior to a meeting with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, the couple traveled to the department of culture and technology at the University of Toronto to conduct an interview with revered author and media theorist Marshall McLuhan.

CBS-TV, a US television network, scheduled and filmed the summit, which lasted approximately 45 minutes, but for reasons unknown, the interview never aired to the public. A remarkable memento from a pivotal moment in Lennon’s quest for peace, augmented furthermore by provenance direct from the McLuhan family—an astounding post-Beatles keepsake of the utmost rarity and importance.Starting Bid $500

The pair remained with the Coxes over the new year and returned to England on January 25, 1970, most notably with newly and shortly cropped hairdos.

Between March 28 and September 17, 1958, Presley completed his basic and advanced military training as a member of Company A, 2d Medium Tank Battalion, 37th Armor, while stationed at Fort Hood in Texas. As trying as his training was, the death of his mother on August 14th devastated Presley, who was afforded an extended leave of absence during his bereavement. Not long after his return to Fort Hood, Presley was sent overseas to Germany as a member of the 1st Medium Tank Battalion, 32d Armor, service which lasted from October 1, 1958, until March 2, 1960. Germany had a profound effect on his life and career—he met his future wife Priscilla, was introduced to amphetamines, and as a result of his generous patriotic service, earned the respect of an older generation of Americans, many of whom had previously viewed him in a negative light.

Featuring an unprecedented total of seven signatures, this phenomenal military form offers unique insight into perhaps the most formative period of Presley’s life. Starting Bid $500

Bob Dylan Exceedingly rare withdrawn original pressing of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, featuring the controversial ‘Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues’ 5087. 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-owned acetate, with unpublished handwritten lyric on the sleeve 5089. Bob Dylan’s ‘Self Portrait’ Acetate with Handwritten Lyrics.

Extraordinary single-sided 12˝ acetate from Bob Dylan’s personal collection, featuring an alternate sequence of side one of his 1970 album Self Portrait, with its original Transco sleeve, annotated in Dylan’s hand with three lines of unpublished lyrics: “The sky turns yellow, birds fly away / The earth’s so mellow, what more is there to say / Lucky’s on the hill but I’m still on that road.” The acetate features a Columbia Recording Studios label, marked “Stereo” and “33 RPM,” and is labeled in another hand with the artist and track listing (spelling retained): “Bob Dylan, 1) Alerta, 2) I’ve Forgotten More, 3) Days of 49, 4) Eary Morning Rain, 5) She Belongs to Me, 6) It Hurts Me Too.” In overall very good to fine condition, with some toning and chipping to the sleeve, a small archivally repaired tear that slightly affects two letters in Dylan’s handwritten lyrics, and a small area of paper loss to the back side; a small imperfection in the last song on the acetate makes a few clicks but plays through.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of authenticity from Dylan handwriting expert Jeff Gold, the owner of Recordmecca who appraised The Bob Dylan Archive for Dylan’s management. In part: “This acetate was part of a collection of Dylan acetates discovered in 2014 in a five story brownstone at 124 West Houston Street in Greenwich Village. From approximately 1969 through 1972, Dylan rented the ground floor of the building for use as a studio (at the time, he lived two blocks away at 94 McDougal St.) When the owner of the building died in January 2014, her executor found the acetates in two boxes labeled ‘Old Records,’ in a loft closet above the bedroom. My discovery of these acetates received extensive media coverage in publications including The New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Rolling Stone, and Billboard. The Houston St. Studios acetates originally belonged to Bob Dylan, who either discarded them or left them when he moved out of the building in the early 1970’s. For more than 40 years, they were carefully stored by the building’s owner, and only discovered by chance by before the building was put up for sale.” Also includes a copy of a letter by the estate’s executor detailing his discovery of the acetates.

Historic and rare Hendrix-signed document related to his PPX contract breach 5091. Jimi Hendrix Document Signed. DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, November 19, 1969. Official letter directed to the Yameta Company, in full: “You are named as the fifth defendant in the action now pending in the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division, and assert that I am liable for your legal expenses…I am advised…that I am liable only in the event it is finally adjudicated that I misrepresented my contractual status at the time I entered into my agreement with you.” Signed at the conclusion in black ink by Hendrix. In fine condition, with light corner creasing, a small piece of old tape to the left edge, and a light block of toning from prior display. Accompanied by three glossy photos of Hendrix and the Fillmore East, and a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. In October 1965, Hendrix was introduced to Curtis Knight’s manager, Ed Chalpin, and his management company PPX. Amazed by the young guitarist’s talents, Chalpin convinced Hendrix to sign an exclusive three-year deal—purportedly for a total sum of one dollar. As Hendrix’s popularity began to surge in the middle of 1966, the guitarist errantly signed an additional management contract with Chas Chandler of Yameta in England.

Eager to bank on Hendrix’s burgeoning success, Chalpin sued Hendrix and Yameta for breach of contract, and was ultimately awarded a payout of $1,000,000 and a share of future royalties. Hendrix agreed to release a live album to fulfill the obligation: he formed the Band of Gypsys with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox, and they performed their only full concerts at the Fillmore East on December 31, 1969, and January 1, 1970, which were recorded and released as their self-titled Band of Gypsys album.

Alongside other emerging acts like Humperdinck and Stevens, the Jimi Hendrix Experience embarked on their first UK tour in support of the Walker Brothers in April 1967, with the group performing two shows at the Gaumont Cinema in Worcester. This tour took place only months after Hendrix had formed the group, and coincided with the release of the trio’s second single, ‘Purple Haze,’ which they performed the night these signatures were obtained.

From the New York apartment of Jimi Hendrix—a bronze Chinese Buddha dating to the Ming Dynasty 5099. Jimi Hendrix’s Ming Dynasty Chinese Buddha. Chinese

bronze Buddha from the Ming Dynasty, personally owned and displayed

by Jimi Hendrix in his New York apartment on West 12th Street in 1969 and 1970. Identified as a Chinese bronze figure of Budai from the later Ming period (1368-1644), the antique statuette measures approximately 8.75˝ x 7˝ x 5.5˝ and weighs 5.75 lbs. The Buddha was acquired directly from Stella Benabou Douglas, one of Hendrix’s closest friends during the last years of his life. The former wife of record producer and Hendrix archivist Alan Douglas, she appeared in the 1973 documentary A Film About Jimi Hendrix. In fine condition, with a vertical crack to back side, presumably done during original casting process.

Accompaniments include: A DVD containing a 15-minute video interview with Stella Benabou Douglas, about her close relationship with Jimi Hendrix and the history of his bronze Buddha; a signed letter of provenance from Alan Douglas, dated March 10, 1997, in part: “This letter is to certify that a Bronze Buddha…I personally purchased for Jimi Hendrix for his 27th birthday…[was] kept in his New York apartment until the time of his death”; and a lengthy letter of authenticity from Jeff Gold of Recordmecca, in part: “Stella Douglas and her friend Colette Mimram owned a Greenwich Village shop Hendrix frequented. They designed many of Hendrix’s outfits, including the famous white-fringed turquoise beaded jacket he wore at the Woodstock Festival…

When [Stella] first met Hendrix, he was living in a basement room in the apartment of his manager…and Stella told him he needed his own apartment. A few days later she found one for him, on West 12th Street, and soon after began to decorate it for him…She was out with Jimi and her then husband Alan when Jimi saw the Buddha in a shop. ‘Jimi picked it up and

caressed his stomach.’ It was nearing Hendrix’s birthday, and Alan bought it for him as a birthday gift. ‘It was such a big thing for Jimi; I don’t think he ever had something old and precious like this. He became very attached to it.’

‘One time he asked me why Buddha’s have such a big stomach.

I told him it was because they have the whole universe in it.

He used to tell other people that…He showed it to people and explained the big stomach story to people, which for him was a bit of a mystery. Of course he wasn’t a Buddhist in any way.

He was absolutely colorblind, religion blind, never got involved in politics in any way, contrary to what some people have said.’

Douglas was with Hendrix at a party in London on the night he died. She describes how, upon her return to New York, Hendrix manager Michael Jeffery asked her and Alan Douglas to accompany him to open Jimi’s apartment for the first time.

‘Of course it was emotional. We saw all those things. My emotions were that I had gotten all these things and decorated the place.’ Stella describes how Jeffery said to Alan ‘Why don’t you take the Buddha’—as Alan had given it to Jimi.” Alan did indeed take the Buddha, which he then, after a time, gave to his wife, Stella, who kept the statuette in safe keeping for over 45 years. An astounding, museum-quality artifact once owned and treasured by one of rock history’s most ephemeral and influential stars. Starting Bid $2500

This unused example was obtained from a former employee of the company hired to post them at the time of the album’s release; he said that they were only posted in Los Angeles, and when the Stones were threatened with lawsuits by some of the celebrities pictured on the album cover, they were quickly pulled down by his company.

A week after the Sullivan Show, The Doors released their second full-length record in Strange Days, an album that landed in the No. 3 spot in the Billboard charts a mere month after the quartet’s self-titled debut had reached No. 2. An extremely desirable set of early Doors autographs, paired with an equally coveted handbill for an early concert. Starting Bid $1000

Morrison-signed contract relating to the ‘Feast of Friends’ documentary

5135. Jim Morrison Signed Document. DS, signed “J. Morrison,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, November 8, 1968. Contract between Doors Productions Corp. and Frank Lisciandro concerning his “editing services in conjunction with Paulo Ferrara on the film entitled Feast of Friends.” The document lists an amended section related to “net profits derived from such distribution, sale or other exploitation of the picture,” with a brown felt tip notation affirming the “percentage to be 5%.” Signed at the conclusion in blue felt tip by Morrison, and countersigned by Lisciandro. Morrison adds his initials, “JM,” to the amended percentage. In fine condition.

The Doors self-produced the documentary Feast of Friends during their 1968 summer tour. Designed by Paul Ferrara and edited by Frank Lisciandro, friends and UCLA classmates of Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek, the self-produced film includes behind-the-scenes off-stage commentary and concert performances with cinema vérité style. Completed in 1968, the much boot-legged 52-minute documentary was screened at film festivals during Morrison‘s lifetime but did not obtain an official release date until late 2014, some 46 years later. An entirely rare and fascinating document signed by Morrison, whose passion for both surrealist film and theatre seamlessly translated to that of the Doors concert stage. Starting Bid $2500

McKernan,” and the band, “Bob Weir,” “Jerry Garcia,” “Bill Sommers” (Bill Kreutzmann’s pseudonym), and “Mickey Hart,” who had signed on as the Dead’s second drummer just three weeks prior; the back of the page bears signatures of their manager, “Rock R. Scully,” bassist, “Phil Lesh,” and sound engineer, “Robert C. Matthews.” During the band’s early days, the underage Kreutzmann sometimes used a fake draft card filled out with the name “Bill Sommers” to be admitted into bars for the Dead’s gigs. He and Hart combined to make the Grateful Dead one of the first rock bands to feature two drummers, developing their signature sound as ‘the Rhythm Devils.’

Other notable signatures include The Animals (including Eric Burdon, Danny McCulloch, John Weider, Vic Briggs), The 5th Dimension (Marilyn McCoo, Billy Davis, Jr., Lamonte McLemore, and Ronald Townson), troubled singer-songwriter Lowell George (2), Del Shannon, John Densmore and Robby Kreiger of The Doors, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, jazz drummer Louie Bellson, and more.

Led Zeppelin

Extraordinary fully signed Zeppelin debut album

5145. Led Zeppelin I Signed Album. Self-titled debut album signed and inscribed on the back cover in felt tip, “To Jim, Rock On! Robert Plant,” “John Bonham,” and “Jimmy Page,” and signed on the front cover, “John Paul Jones,” with Plant signing again, “Robert Plant,” and drawing an arrow to Jones’s signature, adding, “Spot the looney.” Corner-mounted, matted, and framed with a postcard and ticket stub for Led Zeppelin at the Fillmore in April 1969. In fine condition. The record is included in a sleeve applied to the frame’s backing. The consignor notes that this signed album came from a road-crew member that worked for Led Zeppelin on their tours in the late 1960s into the 1970s.

Led Zeppelin’s eponymous debut released on Atlantic Records in mid January of 1969, roughly four months after the band played their first official concert together. By all accounts, the speed in which the group achieved success remains an unprecedented feat, with Page, then the only high-profile member of the group, footing the bill for the debut’s entire recording and mixing costs, a process that took a mere nine days.

At the time of the album’s release, Led Zeppelin were in the midst of their first North American tour, a 36-date endeavor enabled by the tour cancellation of manager Peter Grant’s other big act, The Jeff Beck Group. Zeppelin’s nearly two-month outing across Canada and the United States proved significant in the growth and visibility of the band. Despite initial mixed reviews, Led Zeppelin I received 50,000 advance orders en route to the album reaching number 10 on the Billboard chart and earning a gold certification in July 1969. Led Zeppelin’s debut has since gone platinum eight times and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2004. As there are said to be fewer than thirty known fully signed Led Zeppelin albums extant, this example, augmented all the more by Plant’s two signatures and humorous line, exists as a true rock history rarity.

From March 27th until September 24, 1969, progressive rockers Pink Floyd performed the conceptual musical piece The Man and the Journey on a 29-date tour.

In classic Floydian fashion, the concerts also included visual performance elements such as the sawing and construction of a table during ‘Work,’ and the consumption of afternoon tea onstage during the aptly titled ‘Teatime.’ An immensely desirable, fully signed program from an early and uncommon Pink Floyd showcase.

5154. Pink Floyd Signed Album. Highly sought-after The Wall album signed prominently on the front cover in blue felt tip by

David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, and Roger Waters. In fine condition, with the tail of Wright’s signature extending on to the affixed Wall sticker. The records are included. The last studio album to feature Pink Floyd’s classic early lineup, this fully signed record is enhanced furthermore by its cast of strikingly bold autographs against the sleeve’s crisp and iconic background.

John Brennan recalled of Pink Floyd: “The chase started in the 1980s, when I got Waters; then Gilmour on his solo tour; then more on the reunion tour (sans Water). John noted, “Roger Waters lived in NYC on and off; he was very accessible. He was generally a friendly person anyway.” “My complete-signed Pink Floyd is a big deal because David Gilmour is the most rare signature, having been so reclusive and not really signing since the 90s (next rare would be the late Richard Wright).” In-band fights were always tough on the autograph seeker looking to complete band signatures. “One time when Gilmour and Waters were fighting, Waters ripped up an autograph that Gilmour had already signed for a buddy of mine.” Brennan noted wistfully, “It’s been almost my whole career getting Pink Floyd completed, because there was no real reunion with all of them. It was just hardcore collecting, one by one, in all different spots.” Starting Bid $1000

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: “I was 21 in the summer of 1958, and the old Akron Armory was the scene for many rock n’ roll concerts. 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 $200

The weather here is 75° in the daytime and I lost about 20 lbs at the Marquee last Tuesday. Guess what? We are playing ‘My Mind is Ramblin.’ ‘Nice?’

I have made arrangements for a couple of discs to be cut from those tapes on Monday…Do you want the new Beatle album or is that an insult. I’m so sick of hearing it they even play it in the cemetery! Thanks very much for fixing the Yardbird album for me. Good old Epic! Are you going to the Monterey festival of Rubbish! Three days of sheer crap! If I get a free air ticket I might still go.

He adds a humorous postscript: “I’ll send the Beatle album any way and if you don’t want it sell it or melt it down into an ash tray or something!” In fine condition.

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (released on May 26, 1967) and slanders the forthcoming Monterey Pop Festival, which is now recognized as a seminal event in popular music history.

Remarkable Cream autographs from early 1967 5308. Cream Signed Card with Handbill. Brilliant

blue ballpoint signatures of Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker on an off-white 6.25 x 3.75 card.

In fine condition, with light overall toning. 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 accompanied by a color image of the group.

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 provenance letter 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 and this offering represents the boldest set of Cream signatures that we have ever offered.

The book is highlighted by not one but two sets of early autographs from The Who, with Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon signing together on one album page that bears a collector’s date notation of June 16, 1965; near the end of the book, the group’s second set of signatures are found on adjacent pages dated to December 1, 1965, with Townshend and Moon signing one page, and Daltrey and Entwistle signing on the other.

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.”

Autograph books filled with the amount of significant signatures that this one has, and with its excellent provenance, rarely surface and are a once-in-a-lifetime find. A true piece of 60s British music history of which we will never see the likes of again.

The Yardbirds play a Cincinnati prom in ‘68

prom on April 26, 1968, 3 x 4.75, signed on the back cover in ink by Jimmy Page, Keith Relf, Chris Dreja, and Jim McCarty, and inscribed on an interior ‘Autographs’ page by Page, “To Diane, from the Yardbirds.” The program has been disbound for display and matted with an original poster for the Yardbirds at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on July 22, 1967, and a postcard for them at the Fillmore on October 23, 1966, to an overall size of 24.75 x 28.5. In very good to fine condition, with creasing and slight fading to the signatures.

The consignor notes that his uncle attended St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, and helped book the Yardbirds to play the junior-senior prom, persuading the senior class counsel to do so. He and a few of his friends were the only students to meet the band, and he obtained their autographs at that time—including the uncommon inscription from Page to his then-girlfriend, Diane. A superb example of this vintage Yardbirds lineup, signed during their final tour of the United States. Just a few months later, Led Zeppelin emerged from the ashes of the Yardbirds, with Page as the only link to the old band. Page, Plant, Bonham, and Jones first appeared under the name ‘The New Yardbirds’ in September 1968, before changing their name to Led Zeppelin in October and going on to make rock music history.

Formerly a member of the band Jo Jo Gunne and a well-respected session drummer, Smith became Boston’s drummer in October 1994. In addition to his drumming duties, Smith played blues harp and provided backing vocals for Boston. Accompanied by an image of the gong on stage with Boston, as well as a signed letter of provenance from Smith, in part: “When I first set out to hand pick the cymbals and gong for the 1995 upcoming ‘Boston’ tour, I knew it was going to be a challenge. When it comes to sound, the band ‘Boston’ is known for being very discerning. Boston has the highest standards in all things, stage, sound and equipment. Choosing the perfect set of cymbals and matching gong would be no exception. All would have to be of the finest quality and frequency that would precisely match the ‘Boston’ records sound perfectly. I began my quest at the local Sabian factory located just outside of Boston. There, I painstakingly searched; listening to hundreds of ride and crash cymbals, until I found a set I thought would work. After the first rehearsal only one crash made the cut. I then took that cymbal and sent it to the main Sabian factory in Canada, where they went through their personal vaults until they found a perfectly matched set. Those all passed the audition and then came the gong…The sound was spot on. Not too brittle with just the right amount of highs, mids and lows. It was beautiful! It is not only a magnificent sounding gong that would fit perfectly as a center piece for any Rock & Roll enthusiast’s collection, but it also is a piece of Rock & Roll history that will never come again.” Starting Bid $300

Key record retailers in major Bowie tour markets were solicited for orders of his catalog of albums, and given unsigned copies of the lithograph to display.

Rush sign—and draw—for Mr. Big’s drill-crazed guitarist

5419. Rush Signed Album and Sketches. One-of-a-kind group lot from the personal collection of founding Mr. Big guitarist Paul Gilbert, which includes: a copy of Rush’s 1978 album Hemispheres, signed and inscribed on the front cover in black felt tip, “To Paul, Good luck with the guitar. I hope you enjoy it. Alex Lifeson,” “June 24, 1942, Paul, Thanks for keeping us ‘in the mood! Neil Peart,” and “Dear Paul, You’re the best guitarist in our band (don’t tell the other guy!!) Good luck, Geddy Lee.” The lot also features three posters handmade by Lifeson, which he posted backstage during the 1990 Presto Tour and then later presented to Gilbert as a humorous gift. The 8 x 11 posters, created with felt tip and pasted magazine images, relate to a certain power drill accident Gilbert suffered at a prior show: the first depicts a ‘warning sign’ with a figure holding a power drill and bold text reading, “A Power Tool Is Not a Toy, Beware!,” with Lifeson signing twice in the lower portion, “Alex” and “A. Lifeson,” and adding a brief inscription: “Please be careful Paul. See you again”; the second features a large image of Gilbert casually playing the guitar, with a caption by Lifeson in the upper right, “Paul Gilbert—April 30, 1990, Handsome, Happy, Healthy,” and the third shows a small image of Gilbert painfully playing the guitar with a power drill through his head, with Lifeson’s caption reading: “Paul Gilbert—May 1, 1990, What a difference a day makes.” In overall very good condition, with moderate scuffing, and slight surface loss to the old price sticker residue at the upper right corner. The record is included.

Includes a signed letter of provenance from Gilbert, in part: “When I was playing guitar with Mr. Big in the early 90s, we had the good fortune to support RUSH on their Presto and Roll the Bones tours. I was (and still am) a huge fan of RUSH, so I was thrilled to be able to meet them and to watch them play every night. I asked Geddy, Alex, and Neil to sign my ‘Hemispheres’ album, and they were nice enough to write some great messages.

During these tours, I still had ‘big hair.’ One night, at a concert arena in Atlanta, this led to an accident on stage. Every night, I played some of my guitar solo using a cordless Makita drill (with a customized drill-bit, with 3 guitar picks on the end.) This particular night, I accidentally brought the drill (still spinning) a little too close to my hair. The drill-bit caught a strand of my hair, and in a moment, it was hopelessly tangled… All of Rush’s crew, and all of Mr. Big’s crew met me at the side of the stage…After several failed attempts, and threats of scissors, they finally managed to untangle the drill…At the next show, I was (carefully) getting ready to play with my drill again, when I saw that some signs has been posted for me. Alex Lifeson had made warning signs to make sure that I knew that ‘A Power Tool is Not a Toy.’” Starting Bid $200

The Ramones One-of-a-kind Guild bass etched by Dee Dee Ramone

5519. Dee Dee Ramone Etched Soundcheck Bass Guitar. Circa 1978 Guild B301-A electric bass guitar with a natural finish, serial number 196556, personally played by original Ramones bassist Dee Dee Ramone during sound check before a show at My Father’s Place in Roslyn, New York, on July 5, 1978, with Ramone etching his name and date into the black pickguard, “Dee Dee Ramone, 7/5/78.” An off-white “Ramones” bass pick is taped to upper horn. Includes the well-worn hardshell carrying case. In very good to fine condition, with heavy wear to the case, and expected light wear to the bass.

Accompanied by two photos bearing images of Ramone playing and etching the offered bass, and a letter of authenticity signed by longtime Ramones tour manager Monte A. Melnick, which reads, in full: “This Guild Bass owned by Roger Risko friend, Super Fan and contributor to the Ramones 40th Anniversary Exhibition was very nicely electronically engraved by Dee Dee Ramone and played during a sound check on July 5th, 1978 at the club ‘My Father’s Place’ in Roslyn, NY.” The consignor notes that the original recipient, ‘Rockin’ Roger Risko, who brought the engraving kit to the show, later applied Wite-Out to the etch to better emphasize Ramone’s signature. Although bass guitars signed by Dee Dee Ramone are occasionally offered at auction, basses featuring irremovable etched signatures are undeniably rare, with this potentially being the only example extant. Given the uniqueness of the signature, in addition to the date of its signing—just the fourth show to feature new drummer Marky Ramone—this Dee Dee-used and –etched bass is an outright punk rock rarity. From The Monte A. Melnick Ramones Collection. Starting Bid $300

The Ramones smash the Berlin Wall

Melnick, including: an original 2.5 x 2 x 1 chunk of spray-painted concrete from the Berlin Wall, personally obtained during the Ramones tour of Europe in 1989; and a 14-page itinerary packet for the Ramones’ tour of Germany, Belgium, and Holland between November 21 and December 5, 1989, annotated throughout by Melnick. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Melnick, in part: “We were in Berlin Germany November 1989 to play a show and the promoter of the show went to a hardware store and got some hammers and chisels and brought us to the Berlin Wall. At this time the wall was starting to come down and was being chipped away. All the Ramones and myself got pieces of the wall.” Also includes two photos of the Ramones and Melnick at the Berlin Wall, chisels and hammers in hand.

After four consecutive concert nights in Germany, the Ramones earned a day off when they traveled to Berlin to play at the Eissporthalle on November 26th. The breach of the Berlin Wall only weeks prior continued to dominate current world news, and the Ramones were eager to take home literal pieces of history.

Fantastic lyric collection from a young Weird Al, with early drafts for his breakthrough ‘Belvedere Cruisin’ 5 5 5 7. ‘ We i r d A l ’ Ya n k o v i c Handwritten Lyrics. Highly amusing

collection of handwritten material from ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic, amounting to 15 pages of sheet music, lyrics, and notes dating between 1976 and 1979. With the exception of one typed lyric sheet, the balance is written in either ink or pencil on notebook sheets ranging in size from 3.75 x 5.5 to 8.5 x 11. The group is highlighted by two sheets containing chord and sheet music for the song “Cruising Down Higuera,“ which Yankovic gave to roommate and fellow musician Jon Iverson for recording and eventual live events.

Yankovic has added “Bass Guitar Part” to the upper margin of the sheet music, and both sheets bear his signature with copyright date to upper right corner, “1976 Alfred Yankovic.”

This offering is significant in that the song, renamed from the original title of ‘Belvedere Cruisin,’ launched Weird Al’s comedic career after Dr. Demento played the song on his comedy radio show; Yankovic, then just 16 years old, gave Demento a homemade tape with original and parody songs when the broadcaster made a visit to Lynwood High School in 1976. The song was inspired

by Higuera Street, one of the longest and most active streets in downtown San Luis Obispo, and the countless rides Yankovic and his friends enjoyed in his early 1960s Plymouth Belvedere.

View all pages online at www.RRAuction.com

Also included with the collection: a two-sided sheet with one side headed “Other People’s Songs We Can Rip Off,” which features a variety of titles and names; a lyric sheet containing the words to ‘The Elements’ song by musical humorist and lecturer Tom Lehrer, with chords written above; partial lyrics for a parody song inspired by Eddie Cochran’s ‘Summertime Blues’; a sheet with lyrics for the song “A Day in the Life of Green Acres” on one side, and the other side featuring words for the song “Born to Be Mild” on the other; a stapled packet of three sheets containing handwritten lyrics and chords for the Shel Silverstein song/poem ‘Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout,’ with Yankovic changing the spelling of the first name to “Sahra”; a typed lyric sheet containing words to the song “Hey Food,” a 1979 parody of ‘Hey Jude’; a sheet containing lyrics for the song ‘My Sharona’ by The Knack, as well as parody lyrics for the Yankovic song, ‘Born to Be Mild,’ a lampoon of the Steppenwolf song, ‘Born to Be Wild’; a small note page containing handwritten music bars and chorus for “My Bologna,” a parody of The Knack’s ‘My Sharona.’

Provenance: The Collection of Jon Iverson, Yankovic’s college roommate at Cal Poly, who notes: “We were roommates around 1978–79 and rehearsed and performed together all around San Luis Obispo. Many of the handwritten notes in the set are from our sessions working out lyrics to songs and subsequent parodies of those songs. We originated the idea together of doing parodies of popular songs using a food theme, ‘My Bologna’ being a famous later example of that approach.” Starting Bid $200

5598. 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 34,” features eleven words in Prince’s hand, plus a few deletions: after Ruthie’s line, “Sing 2 me, darling,” Prince writes, “(100 million domestic),” and at the end of a passage sung by Camille, Prince writes, “and baby if I died yesterday… it’s O.K.” Double-matted and framed with a descriptive plaque to an overall size of 13 x 16. 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

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.

The Family’s “River Run Dry,” handwritten by Prince as their producer 5602. Prince Handwritten Lyrics for ‘Til the Well Runs Dry’. Prince’s handwritten draft of the lyrics for “Til the River Run Dry” entirely in his hand, one page, 8 x 10.5, no date but circa 1984. The page begins in pencil and continues in ballpoint, with some of the pencil traced over. The song begins: “How long I cry ‘til the river run dry / …til the river run dry / U used 2 see me but u don’t see me no more / U used 2 touch me but u don’t touch me no more / Our love affair I thought would be / Six forevers and a week / Stickpin hab in the middle of a dream / No love at the end of the rainbow.” In very good to fine condition, with some white tape to the top edge obscuring a few words in the title.

From the collection of Prince’s assistant tour manager 1984 to 1988, Gwen Leeds, who notes that Prince would frequently hand write song lyrics in notebooks and then ask that they be typed and supplied for registering and licensing. ‘River Run Dry’ was actually composed by Prince drummer Bobby Z, whose name appears at the top, although it is suspected that Prince may have slightly tweaked the lyrics himself. Prince produced the recording of the song by The Family for their 1985 album; it is notable as the first song sent by Prince to Clare Fischer for orchestral overdubs. The Family was a Prince protégé band that included St. Paul Peterson, Susannah Melvoin, Eric Leeds, Jerome Benton and Gary ‘Jellybean’ Johnson. Starting Bid $500

Incredibly rare original 1987 U.S. first pressing of The Black Album (Warner Bros. 1-25677) factory sealed in its original shrinkwrap, complete with affixed peach-and-black sticker on the front, “Explicit Lyrics, Parental Advisory, (1-25677),” and barcode/copyright information sticker on the back. This is one of five sealed copies of The Black Album recently discovered in the collection of former Warner Bros. Records executive Richard Wietsma. Prior to that discovery, only three copies of the original 1987 U.S. pressing had surfaced. The discovery of these albums became an international news story, covered by Rolling Stone, Spin, Vibe, and news outlets around the world. In mint 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—however, no U.S. vinyl version of the album was ever commercially released.

Includes detailed letters of authenticity from Richard Wietsma and 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.’ He writes, in part: “This example is one of five sealed copies discovered in December 2017, in the collection of a former Warner Bros. Records executive who worked on The Black Album. The executive’s daughter had purchased her first turntable and asked her parents to send her some albums. Their record collection had been boxed up in a closet for more than 25 years, and while searching for records that might interest their daughter, they stumbled upon two never-opened Warner Bros. Records mailers. Expecting to find some promo albums inside, they opened these for the first time and discovered five perfect, sealed copies of The Black Album. These had been sent to the executive in December 1987 when the albums were ordered destroyed, and for 30 years, the two mailers had sat unopened among their other boxed up vinyl. After opening one copy and confirming it was a genuine 1987 first pressing, they contacted me, a friend and former Warner Bros. colleague. The family decided to keep the open copy, but sell the remaining copies through Recordmecca. After Rolling Stone magazine wrote an article about the discovery, the story went viral, and the three sealed copies for sale were sold within 24 hours.” Starting Bid $2500

“‘Under the Cherry Moon,’

by Prince”—an eight-page rough draft for the opening scenes 5605. Prince’s ‘Under the Cherry Moon’ Handwritten Script Notebook. Fantastic 8 x 10.5 Mead college-ruled notebook containing eight single-sided pages of Prince’s handwritten working script for the 1986 film Under the Cherry Moon, plus a handwritten and signed title page. The red notebook cover is marked in Prince’s hand in black ink, “Under the Cherry Moon,” and is followed by the title page, neatly written and signed by Prince in pencil: “’Under the Cherry Moon,’ by Prince.”

Prince’s draft of the screenplay begins on the next page, headed “Under the Cherry Moon.” It begins with the very opening of the film: “Camera opens on strange painting of a woman with no facial features, pulls back 2 reveal other painting, a woman posing half-dressed, Camera pans slowly. ‘Christopher, how much longer, my neck’s getting tired?’ ‘13 minutes more.’ ‘U said that 30 minutes ago. (reaction shot) Guess what Katy told me u did last night.’ ‘I haven’t the faintest guess.’ ‘She told me that u put your hand between her legs. (reaction shot of him—unaffected) Did u?’ ‘I don’t remember.’ (screaming) ‘What do mean u don’t remember Did u or didn’t u…’” They bicker back and forth a bit, then Christopher says: “’Can’t we just have fun (he reaches 4 drink. Huh? (takes a sip) (She says yes over & over) I mean… (He strokes her hair & looks at her camera pullback) Can’t we just have fun? (camera pull back more as they sit on floor hugging, rocking, she cries. TITLES, music.”

Later, in a restaurant scene, the dialogue references the film’s title: “’Hey, look over there.’ (They see a young woman obviously wealthy from the gold on her person. The woman is attractive…dark, mysterious. She has 2 friends with her. Much older.) ‘My God, she’s wonderful. That’s the one.’ ‘The one?’ ‘The one in the song. Under the Cherry Moon, ‘A kiss is so much sweeter.’

I always thought that one day I would meet someone and I would have 2 have that someone and that’s what it says in the song. A kiss is so much sweeter under the cherry moon. Wait here. Cover me,’ he says eyes glued 2 this stranger. We watch from a distance as he walks 2 her. Tricky pays the check. Close-up on Christopher. ‘Hi,’ says he. ‘Hello,’ says she. ‘I’d very much like 2 paint your picture.’” Like the previously described scene, this does not make it into the final version of the movie.

After a “Fade 2 Black” on the last page of the script, there is another page with a single line in Prince’s hand from the lyrics for ‘Temptation’: “Workin’ my body with a cool hot flash of animal lust.” The remaining pages are blank, with the exception of brief a note written to Prince about a birthday gift of champagne. In fine condition, with creasing to cover and bits of staining to the first three pages. From the collection of an early Prince insider.

Unlike the Under the Cherry Moon notebook we previously sold, this example is very much a rough draft—it offers brainstormed dialogue and direction, and is not organized in the more formal screenplay format (for example, multiple characters’ lines of dialogue run together without denoting who says what). Very little of what is written here seems to have made it into the final film, and it sets up “Katy” and “Jill” as the potential love interests opposite Christopher and Tricky. Although “Katy” plays a small part in Under the Cherry Moon, “Jill” is nowhere to be found. Christopher Tracy is also introduced as a painter, which does not come up in the film. Needless to say, this is a tremendously interesting piece that may very well be Prince’s first conception of Under the Cherry Moon put to paper. It offers extraordinary insight into his creative process, and exists as the cornerstone upon which Under the Cherry Moon was built. Starting Bid $2500

Iconic Cloud electric guitar played by Prince 5606. Prince’s Personally-Owned and Played Schecter Cloud Guitar. Prince’s personally-owned and played Schecter

‘Diamond Series’ Cloud electric guitar, serial number 0219717, with metallic pearl finish, golden hardware, and cloud-inspired design to body, horn, and headstock, with reverse marked: “Manufactured exclusively for NPG by Schecter Guitar Research.”

In fine condition, with some toning between pickup and fretboard.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, Raul Sandoval, which reads, in part: “This white Cloud Guitar was gifted to me personally by the artist known as Prince Rogers Nelson (aka Prince). I was hired by Prince himself and worked as his bodyguard/personal assistant from 2001–2010. In 2005, Prince selected two (2) Schecter Cloud Guitars for himself—one in white (noted here) and one in blue. We would take them with us on tours or other engagements. The guitars would always be set up in Prince’s Green Room for him to warm up with before heading on stage—never taken on stage.

I personally attest to the provenance and authenticity of this Schecter guitar and to its having been gifted directly to me by Prince.” Also accompanied by a first edition of 21 Nights, hardcover with slipcase, published by Atria Books in 2008, with the included ‘Indigo Nights–Live Sessions’ CD. Luthier Dave Rusan was working at Knut-Koupée Music, a store owned by local guitarist Jeff Hill, when he was asked to create the iconic Cloud guitar in 1983. Prince, a regular customer at the South Minneapolis shop, was talking with Hill at the counter when Rusan arrived for work. Prince and Hill moved to the back office, and after some time, the latter returned with exciting news for Rusan: ‘Prince is going to make a movie. He needs a guitar, and you’re going to make it.’

The requested Purple Rain guitar was to feature a design inspired by the bass owned by Prince’s childhood friend and former bass player, André Cymone. Other than the body style, Rusan was told that the guitar ‘had to be white, and it had to have gold hardware.’ In the end, Rusan made four Cloud-style guitars for Prince in the mid 1980s, the last of which for a contest giveaway sponsored by Warner Bros. in 1985.

Prince had several other Cloud guitars commissioned over the years, including those from Schecter, who later produced a limited run to be sold to the public during the artist’s ‘Hit and Run’ tour of 2014-15. According to the Schecter website: ‘We have never publicly sold guitars that we made for Prince. He has always custom ordered them from us exclusively for his own use. Only one time during the ‘Hit and Run Tour’ did he have Schecter create a production run of guitars that he sold exclusively at his shows…All guitars shown on our website are purely to commemorate the works that we created for him. We have always respected his wishes to not recreate the guitars and resell them.’ As one of Prince’s own Schecter Clouds, the electric guitar offered here is a magnificent rarity, having been personally played by the artist any number of times before his recordbreaking shows. A sensational, museum-quality offering, which is perhaps the only Prince-played Cloud available for purchase.

‘Lithium’ was released on July 13, 1992, as the third single from Nirvana’s hugely successful second studio album, Nevermind.

The artwork for the front and back covers of the ‘Lithium’ single were photographs taken by Kurt Cobain, with the back cover also featuring a small sonogram image of Cobain and Courtney Love’s daughter, Frances Bean Cobain; her father gave her the middle name Bean due to her ‘kidney bean’ shape in the sonogram. Given the single’s lyrical theme of ‘a man who turns to religion amid thoughts of suicide,’ ‘Lithium’ holds a tragic and significant connection to the fate of Nirvana’s iconic frontman.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 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”).

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 exclude any person from the Auction.

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.

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 22.5% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed Auctions (the “Buyer’s Timed Premium”), and a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on live Auctions (the “Buyer’s Live Premium,” together with the Buyer’s Timed Premium, the “Buyer’s Premium”). 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. All purchases delivered to Massachusetts are subject to applicable Massachusetts sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. 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.

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.

arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

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.

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.

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

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 prearranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks. In all circumstances, the Auction House prefers payment by Bank Wire transfer.

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. 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 super-

seded 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 ag-

gregate 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) 7324280. 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, non-incremental 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.

Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a nonsale 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.

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

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.

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.

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 opportunities available.

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.
