Beatles Fully signed, first pressing of With the Beatles 4001. Beatles Signed Album. Exceptionally rare 1963 Parlophone mono first pressing of the With the Beatles album (with misspelled ‘You Really Gotta Hold On Me’), signed on the front in the white upper border in black ballpoint, “John Lennon,” “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” and “Love, Ringo Starr, xxx.” In very good to fine condition, with light scuffing and creasing, and some ink adhesion troubles due to ballpoint interacting with the slick surface. The record is included. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient and a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, who notes that the “album was autographed by The Beatles on November 24th, 1963, just two days following its release, when the band performed in concert at the ABC Cinema in Hull, England. This is a desirable and rare front signed Beatles album cover, and one of only a handful of ‘With the Beatles’ covers signed on the front which have surfaced to date.” Starting Bid $2500

4003. Beatles ‘Third State’ Stereo Butcher Album. The Beatles Yesterday and Today stereo ‘third state’ butcher cover (Capitol, 1966). This ‘third state’ version features the ‘butcher’ cover, the previously affixed ‘trunk’ cover pasteover having been carefully removed from the album jacket to reveal the butcher cover underneath. In very good to fine condition, with some light edge wear and chipping, and a very light layer of adhesive residue evident. The record and original Capitol inner sleeve are both included as is a copy of Capitol’s recall letter. Within days of releasing this miscellany of previous hits, Capitol recalled all copies in response to retailers’ negative reactions to the original macabre cover image. The recalled copies were ‘retrofitted’ with a new pictorial flat, pasted over the first, featuring an innocuous image of the boys posed around a steamer trunk; these have frequently been peeled away by collectors to reveal the infamous butcher image below. Stereo covers are much rarer than the mono versions as they were produced in far fewer quantities. Starting Bid $200

An early pre-Beatlemania appearance by The Beatles 4004. Beatles 1963 New Musical Express Program. Original vintage program for the

1962–63 Annual Poll-Winners’All-Star Concert presented by New Musical Express (NME) at Wembley’s Empire Pool on April 21, 1963, 14 pages, 5.75 x 8.75, which lists the Beatles as one of the “Guest Attractions” alongside Mark Wynter, Mike Berry, David Jacobs, and Gerry and the Pacemakers. The lineup schedule lists the Beatles as playing third from last, behind Billy Fury and Cliff Richard. In very good condition, with creasing, soiling, and light toning to all pages. The Beatles were second on the bill for the New Musical Express 1962-63 Annual Poll-Winners’ All-Star Concert, held at the Empire Pool in Wembley, London. Topping the 14-act bill were Cliff Richard and The Shadow. The venue was filled with 10,000 people. The Beatles won no awards on this day, as the polling had taken place towards the end of 1962 and they were insufficiently known nationwide, but the NME made them the penultimate act of the day due to the success of their recent singles. Starting Bid $200

4006. Beatles 1965 New York Arrival Instructions. Origi-

4005. Beatles 1963 Newcastle Signatures. Bold vintage

ballpoint signatures of Ringo Starr, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison on an off-white lightly lined sheet affixed to a 6.75 x 7 cardstock mount. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of provenance from the original owner: “In the latter part of 1963 I was dating a journalist working for the Blyth Standard. One of his assignments for the newspaper was to interview The Beatles who had a concert in Newcastle Upon Tyne City Hall on 23 November 1963. During this he got their autographs which he then gave to me.” An exceptional set of Beatles autographs heightened by its lack of inscription, crispness, and attractive spacing. Starting Bid $1000

nal 8.5 x 11 instructional sheet headed “RE.: BEATTLES’ARRIVAL,” dated July 20, 1965, directed to Mike Hutner and Buddy Young in regard to the Beatles’ arrival in New York City on August 13, 1965, and the start of their second American tour. The sheet lists the band’s flight number (“TWA, Flight #703”), the airport, landing time, and receiving party (“Kennedy Airport at 2:35 P.M…Walter Hofer and representatives from Capitol Records and General Artists Corporation”), and the remainder of their obligations and plans, with additional contact information. In very good to fine condition, with a fold across the bottom, and creasing to the edges. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. The Beatles’ fifth studio album, Help!, was released in America on the same day the Beatles landed stateside for their highly anticipated 16-date US tour. Upon landing at JFK—their plane parked two miles from the main terminal to avoid fan frenzy—the Beatles were driven to the Warwick Hotel on 6th Avenue and 54th Street, their main residence until August 17th. The following day the group recorded their fourth and final performance for the Ed Sullivan Show, and a day later on August 15th delivered an historic performance before 55,600 at Shea Stadium.

Motorized ‘jack-in-the-box’ display for the Beatles’ Help! soundtrack 4007. Beatles 1965 Help! In-Store Display. Awesome original in-store motorized ‘jack-in-the-box’ display for the Capitol Records release of the Beatles’ fifth studio album, Help!, the soundtrack to their hugely successful second feature film. The bright orange cardboard promotional display measures 18 x 17 x 17.75 and features bold matching advertising text to sides and cover, “Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, The Beatles, Capitol Records, Help!,” with the display’s front and back bearing affixed glossy color promo sheets between bold text: “Help Is Here! Get It!” A lengthy replacement cord extends from the display’s lower backside and when plugged in activates an internal motor that raises the cover to reveal a set of four hands with cuffs spelling out “HELP”—Ringo Starr’s hand is made evident by the rare presence of the film’s sacrificial ring—and the underside of the cover bears an affixed image of the Beatles as they’re pictured on the cover of their ‘Help!’ single. In very good to fine condition, with some faint creasing to fingers and a tear and creasing to front promo image. Accompanied by the original assembly sheet and shipping box.Manufactured in 1965 by Capitol Records, this magnificent fully functional Help! display was distributed exclusively to select record stores across America to coincide with the album’s highly anticipated release date of August 6, 1965. Due to the fragility of this promotional display, as is the case with other similar oversized and multipart displays of the era, these Beatles displays were usually discarded by record outlets because of their size, with the few that survived generally the result of being rescued by fans. Elevated by its bright colors and excellent condition, this is a fantastically rare original display that would make any serious Beatles collection stand out from the crowd. Starting Bid $500

Rare and imposing Apple Records display for Abbey Road 4008. Beatles 1969 Abbey Road In-Store Display. Hugely appealing original in-store

promotional display for the Apple Records release of the Beatles’ eleventh studio album, Abbey Road. This elaborate cardboard display stands approximately 5.5´ feet in height and consists of three main sections: an upwardly curving black base with ‘cracked’ street arrows pointing to a middle compartment with front and side panels featuring “The Beatles” and adjacent Apple Records logos in bright green. The uppermost section shows Iain Macmillan’s iconic image of the Beatles strolling across Abbey Road, with each member die-cut to present a very appealing 3-D effect. The top section also has the original fold-out cardboard backing, which is supported by a replacement plastic pole. In very good to fine condition, with light scattered wear to lower sections, with uppermost section bearing some creases and small edge tears. This wholly impressive Abbey Road display, complete with the rare original base section and designed to hold up to two dozen albums, was distributed exclusively to select record stores across America to coincide with the album’s highly anticipated release date of October 1, 1969. Due to the fragility of this promotional display, as is the case with other similar oversized and multipart displays of the era, these Beatles displays were usually discarded by record outlets because of their size, with the few that survived generally the result of being rescued by fans. The likelihood of recovering examples, especially one in such attractive condition and featuring all three main display sections, is incredibly rare—a hugely visual and highly collectible Abbey Road centerpiece. Starting Bid $300

Remarkably rare intact Yellow Submarine display with working motor 4009. Beatles 1968 Yellow Submarine In-Store Display. Vibrantly colored original motorized display for the promotion of the Beatles’ tenth studio album, Yellow Submarine. The in-store cardboard display stands approximately 4.5´ feet in height and features fantastic psychedelic Fab Four-related imagery in bright DayGlo colors to each of the three main sections: the unique spiral base features images of all four Beatles along with Old Fred, Jeremy the Boob, Chief Blue Meanie, and the Flying Glove; the middle portion, intended to hold album copies of Yellow Submarine, bears either “The Beatles” or “Yellow Submarine” to each side; and the uppermost fixture, a three-dimensional Yellow Submarine with additional Beatles images to periscope windows, rests atop a sturdy cardboard tube with battery-operated motor mechanism designed to rotate the submarine. In very good to fine condition, with some scattered wear and creasing, and dampstaining to back fin of submarine; the motor is in working condition. Accompanied by the original assembly sheet and two D size batteries. These stunning, black light-ready Yellow Submarine displays were made in America in late 1968 and distributed exclusively to select record stores across the country to coincide with the album’s release date of January 17, 1969. Due to the fragility of this promotional display, as is the case with other similar oversized and multipart displays of the era, these Beatles promo displays were usually discarded by record outlets because of their size, with the few that survived generally the result of being rescued by fans. Finding them today, intact and in working condition, is incredibly rare, with this impressive Yellow Submarine example at the very apex of eye-catching, long-lost Beatles display pieces. Starting Bid $500

The Beatles feature length debut quickly proved to be a huge commercial success, serving to further catapult the band’s popularity and stardom—the world premiere also served as an early birthday present for Starr, who turned twenty-four the following day.

The first ever ‘Trade Show’ invitation that we have seen. Starting Bid $200

The Beatles album that never was—the super rare ‘Live at the Hollywood Bowl’ acetate 4014. Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl Acetate.

Exceedingly rare double-sided mono Capitol Records 33 1/3 RPM acetate of the complete Beatles ‘Live at the Hollywood Bowl’ concert. Both labels are marked “Title, Beatles & The Hollywood Bowl,” “Artist, The Beatles,” and “Project No. 314877,” with respective running times of “Time, 13:41, Side 1” and “Time, 15:58, Side 2.” The section marked “Rough 8-26-64 Don,” indicates that the acetate was cut directly from the reel-to-reel tape on August 26, 1964, just three days after the concert was recorded. The acetate features the full 29-minute concert with a total of 12 tracks and all on -stage comments from the Beatles. The contents of the record: ‘Twist and Shout,’ ‘You Can’t Do That,’ ‘All My Loving,’ ‘She Loves You,’ ‘Things We Said Today,’ ‘Roll Over Beethoven,’ ‘Can’t Buy Me Love,’ ‘If I Fell,’ ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand,’ ‘Boys,’ ‘A Hard Day’s Night,’ and ‘Long Tall Sally.’ Capitol gave the live recording a project number (“4877”) and the recording was mixed by Capitol producer Voyle Gilmore and balance engineer Hugh Davies. However, Brian Epstein, George Martin, and the Beatles were not fully satisfied with the results and the project was scrapped. In very good condition, with some scratching to both sides of the vinyl; a light scratch running through the song ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ causes a popping noise on the track. When Capitol Records were unable to procure permission from the American Federation of Musicians to record a Beatles concert at Carnegie Hall, the choice was made to have the live album done at the famed Hollywood Bowl. On August 23, 1964, the Beatles took to the stage in front of a sold-out crowd and played, according to John Lennon, what was a very satisfying show: ‘The Hollywood Bowl was marvelous. It was the one we all enjoyed most…We got on, and it was a big stage, and it was great. We could be heard in a place like the Hollywood Bowl, even though the crowds was wild: good acoustics.’ In spite of the band’s enjoyment, the subsequent recording was deemed unworthy, with Martin explaining that ‘guitars and voices [were] mixed on the same track’ and that ‘the recording seemed to concentrate more on the wild screaming of 18,700 kids than on the Beatles on stage.’ Only three copies of the acetate are known to exist, with this example being the earliest known acetate to be cut from the tapes. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Starting Bid $1000

4015. Beatles Pair of 1966 Unused Candlestick Park Tickets. Sought-after pair of complete unused 5.75 x 2.5 tickets for the Beatles at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on August 29, 1966, for the “Lower Stand Admission, Gate E, Sec. 32,” and seats “365” and “366.” The vivid tickets read, “KYA Radio 1260 Welcomes The Beatles,” and features ‘floating head’ images of Ringo, John, Paul, and George. In overall very fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. This was the band’s very last scheduled live concert, though they would appear unannounced for their famed ‘rooftop’ show in 1969. Starting Bid $200

Original Dezo Hoffmann contact sheets of the Fab Four 4016. Beatles Pair of Dezo Hoffman Contact Sheets. Ex-

tremely rare pairing of original vintage glossy 10 x 8 contact sheets of the Beatles during a photo session held at Dezo Hoffmann’s studio on Wardour Street in late April 1963. The photos contain a total of 24 uncommon images of the Beatles posing in their trademark collarless suits. The photos are marked in colored felt tip and wax pencil, with the reverse of both featuring a “Dezo Hoffmann Ltd.” copyright stamp. In overall very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing, and one short edge tear. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Eager to distance the band from their leather-clad past, manager Brian Epstein commissioned Beatles tailor Dougie Millings to create a more refined and modish style for his young Beatles upstarts. Topped with their trademark collarless jackets, the resulting slim-fitting suits were first worn by the Beatles on stage and for television appearances in early 1963. By the time the Beatles played the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, and their subsequent first concert on American soil at the Washington Coliseum two days later, the Fab Four and their clean-cut image had sparked an international phenomenon soon to be deemed the British Invasion. Starting Bid $300

Love, Sean Lennon, 1998.” In very good condition, with an old tape stain to one edge, and light staining to the other three edges. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: “The purpose of this letter is to serve as authentication of the signatures of the four members of the British Rock and Roll quartet known as The Beatles, with drummer Pete Best, who preceded Ringo Starr…These 5 autographs were obtained at The Cavern Club in Liverpool in early to mid-1962. Ringo, who was playing drums for Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, signed on the same night as The Beatles when both were on the bill…It is extremely rare to have a set of Beatles autographs with both drummers, Pete Best and Ringo Starr, on the same item. To date, only 2 or 3 such sets are known to exist.” A marvelous and decidedly unique assemblage of Beatles autographs. Starting Bid $1000

4020. Beatles Signatures. Vintage ballpoint signatures of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr on an offwhite 7.75 x 9 ‘Master Reel Control File’ sheet from Capitol Records. The edges of the sheet are taped to a same-size Capitol Records recording document. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing, intersecting folds, a light ‘kiss’ mark touching McCartney’s signature, and a single tack hole to the top edge. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Beatles expert Perry Cox, who notes that the signatures were obtained “during the time of the Beatles Hollywood Bowl concert of August 1965.” The letter also features a provenance story from the daughter of the original recipient, which reads, in part: “My old neighbor Bill Clark, who hung out with my dad in those days…said he was 17 when he helped my dad set up for a concert at the Hollywood Bowl at the end of August, 1965. Dad was a recording engineer for Capitol Records and as he often did, he brought Bill along to help him that day…Bill said every job Capitol did required a worksheet which came on a gummed tablet. He said he wasn’t there when the autographs were written but my dad showed him the worksheet a few days later—all four Beatles had signed their names on one of those worksheets. That’s when he told Bill all the Capitol guys there that night got one.” In regard to the ‘kiss’ mark, Cox confirms that the ‘kiss’ is from the recipient’s daughter. Starting Bid $1000

The Beatles play Winter Gardens in 1963 4021. Beatles Signed 1963 Promotional Card. Circa 1963 Parlophone Records promo card for the Beatles, 7.5 x 5, showing an Angus McBean image of the group smiling in matching formal suits, signed and inscribed on the reverse in black ink or ballpoint, “Love to Eva, from Paul McCartney, xxx,” “John Lennon, xxx,” “George Harrison,” and “Love, Ringo Starr, xxx.” In very good to fine condition, with a crease to the upper right corner, old tape stains to all four corners, and some faint overall spotting. Consignor notes that the autographs were obtained in Margate, Kent, England when the Beatles were performing a residency at the Winter Gardens between July 8 and 13, 1963. Accompanied by a letter from the original recipient explaining the circumstances in which the signatures were obtained, and a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Starting Bid $1000

Fully signed backstage artist’s pass for the controversial 1963 Royal Variety Performance 4022. 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

Bahama-bound with the Beatles 4023. Beatles Signed Airplane Menu. Original vintage

“Beatles Bahamas Special” menu for a B.O.A.C.-Cunard flight from London to New York on February 22, 1965, four pages, 7.5 x 10.75, signed upside down on the back cover in black ballpoint by Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison, and in black felt tip by Ringo Starr. The cover is also signed Eleanor Bron, Roy Kinnear, and Billy Wyatt, cast and crew members from the Beatles second feature film, Help! In very good to fine condition, with some faint spotty staining. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Consignor notes that the autographs were signed for Wing Commander E. E. Rodley, who served as the pilot for the flight. On February 22, 1965, the band flew from London to the Bahamas, with a stop in New York, to commence filming on their second movie, Help! Although the Bahamas sequences would be the last to appear in the completed film, it was the first location on the shooting schedule. Authentic examples of Beatles signatures from this period are scarce as they were virtually inaccessible to their fans. Starting Bid $2500

4024. Beatles ‘Second State’ Mono Butcher Album. The Beatles Yesterday and Today mono ‘second state’ butcher

cover (Capitol, 1966). This ‘second state’ example features the revised ‘trunk cover’ pasteover that Capitol Records used to fix the already printed album sleeves in response to public backlash. Ringo’s tell-tale black v-neck from the original image can be seen through the pasteover on the right side. In fine condition. The record and original Capitol inner sleeve are both included. Record is in excellent condition. Accompanied by a copy of Capitol’s recall letter. Within days of releasing this miscellany of previous hits, Capitol recalled all copies in response to retailers’ negative reactions to the original macabre cover image: a photo of the four mop-tops dressed in butchers’ coats and draped with raw meat and doll parts. The recalled copies were ‘retrofitted’ with a new pictorial flat, pasted over the first, featuring an innocuous image of the boys posed around a steamer trunk. An unusually nice ‘unpeeled’ example of this sought-after album, with the front and back both exceptionally clean. Starting Bid $200

Rare Hoffmann photo signed by the Fab Four with Nicol on drums 4026. Beatles Signed Photograph. Brilliant vintage glossy

6.5 x 5 photo of the Beatles in their matching gray collarless suits, signed and inscribed in black ballpoint, “To Nick, best wishes from the Beatles, John Lennon,” “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” and “Jimmie Nicol.” The top corners of the photo are affixed to a beige 10 x 8 sheet.

The Beatles stormed Australia early into their first world tour, playing eight shows in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney between June 12 and 20, 1964, a span made notable by the presence of drummer Jimmie Nicol, who replaced Ringo Starr from June 3-15 while the latter was recovering from tonsillitis and pharyngitis. A decidedly very rare item given that Nicol was with the Beatles for less than two weeks. Starting Bid $1000

Extremely rare handwritten letter from Lennon to Beatles producer Sir George Martin— “they fucked us about till November!” 4036. John Lennon Autograph Letter Signed. Tremendous ALS signed “J & Y,” one page, 8.5 x 11, [September 12, 1971]. Letter to Beatles producer George Martin, who Lennon playfully refers to as “Martin George of Rock Ink,” in full: “Yoko and I got Two Virgins out in spite of being past owners of Apple. We made it in May and they fucked us about till November! Then E. M. I. (who have the real control) wrote warning letters to all their puppets around the world telling them not handle it in any way (this after Sir Joe had told us face to face that he would do ‘everything he could’ to help us with it—and asking us for autographed copies!!). In the States it came out on Tetragrammaton which vanished leaving a few thousand spares (it was sold discretely wrapped in a brown paper bags). Retailers here & there were too scared to handle it and it sold very few—it’s very well known but not many people could actually get it. In most other major markets, e.g. Japan, it has never been released. On my last album in U. K., E. M. I. allowed me to sing ‘fuck’ wouldn’t allow the lyrics to be printed! Yoko’s ‘Open Your Box’ was banned (again by an E. M. I. letter) everywhere. It only came out in Britain in a censored form. Just thought you’d like to know.” Lennon makes a few handwritten emendations in red felt tip. In fine condition, with a light paperclip impression to the top edge. Includes an original typed transcript dated September 12, 1971. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Perry Cox, in part: “Very historic and incredible handwritten letter by John Lennon written to Beatles producer Sir George Martin in 1971. This is the most significant letter I’ve examined by Lennon to date…Within the text of this document is clear evidence of the mood and times for Mr. Lennon. Herein Mr. Lennon expresses his extreme dissatisfaction, lending the reader clear insight into John’s mindset at the time.” Recorded on May 19, 1968, Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins was the first of three experimental albums released by John Lennon and Yoko Ono on Apple Records and his first release after the breakup of the Beatles. In addition to its avant-garde content, the record’s front and back covers, featuring fully nude images of Lennon and Ono, resulted in parent label EMI refusing distribution. After a span of six months, the record was finally picked up by Track Records in the United Kingdom, and by Tetragrammaton Records in the United States, both of which released the album in discretely covered brown paper bag packaging. Despite their marketing troubles, the pair continued to push censorship boundaries, most notably with Lennon’s use of the word ‘fuck’ in the classic song ‘Working Class Hero,’ and then again with Ono’s ‘Open Your Box,’ a risque and universally banned track on the B-side of Lennon’s 1971 single ‘Power to the People.’ This historic letter dates to just three days after the release of Imagine, and Lennon clearly hopes that the frustrating struggles he had in the past would not apply this time—they didn’t, of course, and Imagine became an instant classic.

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the daughter of the original recipient: “In the mid-60s, when John was living at St. George’s Hill, Weybridge, my father was the senior CID officer based in the town. One day my father received a call from John asking if he could advise him on security as so many fans were arriving at the house to try to see him. My father went to see John and they got on well. From then on they kept in regular touch and my father visited the house on numerous occasions. John signed the LP and gave it to my father the last time they met, as my father had been promoted and we were moving to another police division. The tape was put over the message and signature by my mother, who was worried that, as it was written in felt tip pen, it might wear off.” Deriving from Lennon’s own personal collection, this Sgt. Peppers album exists as just the second example we have ever offered to be signed on the front cover by the late Beatles icon. A magnificent rarity backed by rock solid provenance. Starting Bid $500

During an on-set birthday party for Colonel Tom Parker, the King sang a parody of ‘It Hurts Me’ that began: ‘It hurts me to see the budget climb up to the sky. It hurts me when Finkel gives me trouble, when I see all my money go just for one god-damned ol’ TV show. It hurts me the way that Finkel spends my dough.’ Starting Bid $200

Sometimes Bob wore a shiny vest and a cowboy hat...In our senior year, 1959, Bob and I and some others had Dramatics Class together and were in a play called Sob Story…The problem was that we had unsupervised practice, and when the ‘cat’s away the mice will play.’ We used the time to climb up to the high school tower and talk and smoke Lucky Strike cigarettes instead of practicing. When it came time to perform the play, we were disorganized and hardly knew any of our lines…It must have been okay because the audience roared with laughter and applause.

Jimi Hendrix and Keith Moon signed from their fabled January 29th, 1967 Saville concerts

4087. Jimi Hendrix and The Who Signatures. Outstanding circa 1967 autograph book, 4.75 x 4.25, signed inside in blue ballpoint, “ Love always, Jimi Hendrix,” who adds a heart below, and in red ballpoint, “ Noel Redding, XX,” each signing on the same page; and “ Keith Moon” and “ John Entwistle,” each signing on separate, adjacent pages in blue ballpoint. These Saville shows on January 29th were the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s first major concerts. Other notable signatures in the book include The Artwoods (featuring Ronnie Wood’s brother Art, Keef Hartley, and Jon Lord of Deep Purple), The Alan Bown Set, The Quotations, Distortion, The Trend, and The MooDoos amongst others. Edge of spine peeled from front cover (covers remain firmly attached), otherwise in fine condition; the signed pages remain crisp and clean. Produced by Beatles manager Brian Epstein, this historic show featured two future legendary rock and roll bands, with two members of each group signing this autograph book on that late January night, an evening that marked the first and last time Jimi Hendrix and his newly formed Experience would open for The Who. In attendance that night were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Spencer Davis, Lulu, Eric Clapton, and Jack Bruce (who later that night would go home and come up with the riff for ‘Sunshine of Your Love,’ which Bruce described as a dedication to Jimi from that night). Months later at the Monterey Pop Festival, the two groups would share the stage for the second and final time, with Hendrix losing a coin toss to perform as the follow-up act. Unfortunately for The Who, Hendrix purportedly warned Pete Townshend that he was going pull out all the stops if he played second. Hendrix went on to play one of the most, if not the most, memorable performances of his short career, stabbing his guitar into his amps and playing it behind his back and with his teeth. In a fiery finale, he then sacrificed it by dousing his guitar with lighter fluid and setting it aflame before smashing it to bits onstage and then hurling its remnants into the audience. An uncommon union of members from two of the most influential groups in rock music history. Accompanied by a photo on Hendrix posing with The Who backstage that night at the Saville theatre and a full letter of authenticity from PSA/ DNA. Starting Bid $300

Hendrix and company would cap off the year with further touring in both the UK and Scandinavia, riding high on the success of their two 1967 albums, Are You Experienced and Axis: Bold as Love. An ideal, uninscribed set of the full Experience lineup, a trio which is becoming increasingly more difficult to find.

Historic 1967 Walker Brothers tour handbill signed by the little-known opening act—Jimi Hendrix 4093. Jimi Hendrix Signed 1967 Handbill From His First Tour.

Rare signed handbill for a Jimi Hendrix concert held at the Capitol Theatre in Cardiff, Wales, on April 26, 1967, 5.5 x 9, signed and inscribed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, “to Susan, Love & Happiness forever, Jimi Hendrix,” who has added “to” below. Includes an amusing e-mail from the original recipient, which reads, in part: “I was on my way home from school and happened to look towards a lake near where I lived and Jimi Hendrix was in a rowing boat. His roadey was actually doing the rowing. He rowed over towards the bank where I was standing and Jimi signed the flyer. I asked him to dedicate Hey Joe to me (as I was going to the concert that evening) and after he sang it, he said it was for Sue who I met this afternoon.” Buried behind the chart-topping Walker Brothers, Cat Stevens, and Engelbert Humperdinck, the Jimi Hendrix Experience received modest billing on their stop at Cardiff’s Capitol Theatre on April 26th. By the time they returned for their second show there in November of the same year, they were one of the most sought-after tickets in live music, soaring high off the successful debut of Are You Experienced and their now-legendary performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. A remarkable early handbill—uncommon and sought-after in its own right—from just months before Hendrix’s rise to rock stardom. Top edge bears a collector’s date notation. In very good condition, with trimmed bottom edge, scattered light creasing, multiple horizontal folds, and a thin strip of old tape residue to the top edge. Comes with a modern photo of Hendrix sitting backstage on the opening night of the Walker Brothers with Cat Stevens, Gary Leeds, and Engelbert Humperdinck; and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.

The latter served as the A-side for the band’s first US single and was a major success in Britain; with ‘Little by Little’ as the B-side, the single marked the Rolling Stones’ first top ten hit in the United Kingdom, reaching number three.

Lewis Blount Jones, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4 x 8, April 1, 1964. A poignant letter from Lewis Blount Jones to his 22-year-old son, Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones, which reads, in part: “My dear Brian...I had a sudden fear of passing out one day with many things unsaid, which for some reason or other, I can never seem to say when I see you. We have had unhappy times and I have been a very poor & intolerant father in so many ways. But never for one minute have I ceased to have the same love and affection for you that I had when you were very young...I am delighted that your courage and guts have brought you success, but all I ask is for just a little of the affection I think you once had for me...Believe me, blood is thicker than water. Even your grandfather listens to & watches you, even though he hates your type of music. For my own part I have studied it hard, & I have grown to like it very much, & deeply regret my intolerance. Your mum, who is narrower in outlook than I am, likes your music too + that speaks a lot. I think you have done more to educate me than I have done for you. I enjoyed reading ‘BEAT’ and ‘RAVE’ this month. I would have loved when I was your age, to have run away to study & work with the organ but everything was so different then & I had not your guts, so perhaps we are not so dissimilar after all...Bye for now, love Dad.” In fine condition.

Incredible ‘test-run’ poster for the final Acid Test, with the Grateful Dead as headliners 4136. Grateful Dead Test Run Poster for Halloween ‘Acid Test’ Concert. Extremely rare test-run poster for

an “Acid Test Graduation” party held at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom on October 31, 1966. Printed on an offwhite 12.5 x 20 Esalen Institute seminar flyer and designed by Allan “Gut” Terka, a Hells Angel, Merry Prankster, and former Blue Cheer manager, the poster shows a superhero figure with mortarboard above bold lower text promoting the scheduled acts and speakers: Grateful Dead, Merry Pranksters, Neal Cassady, Caliope Co., Ken Kesey, and A.A.A (Anonymous Artists of America). The poster notes the appearance of “Many Guest Stars” and asks the prospective attendee: “Have you passed?” In very good to fine condition, with overall wrinkling and creasing. The Acid Tests were a series of parties organized by author Ken Kesey to promote the use of, and advocacy of, the psychedelic drug LSD. The final event, scheduled for Halloween at the Winterland Ballroom, was canceled when promoter Bill Graham caught wind of a plan to put LSD in the venue’s water supply. Kesey quickly relocated the graduation ceremony to a dance company’s warehouse on Harriet Street in San Francisco, where Neal Cassady handed out the diplomas to those in attendance. Although the Grateful Dead were initially listed on the poster, the band later committed to play that same evening at the Dance of Death Costume Ball held at California Hall along with Quicksilver Messenger Service and Mimi Farina. With the final versions of these posters among the most desirable of all Kesey-Grateful Dead memorabilia, this preliminary ‘experiment’ example looms as a true psych rock rarity. Starting Bid $200

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.

Scarce handwritten letter from the Zeppelin frontman 4158. Robert Plant Autograph Letter Signed. ALS from Robert Plant, signed “Good

vibes, Robert, Maureen, Carmen, & Logan,” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, gorgeous ‘swan with sirens’ letterhead, no date, between 1979 and 1982. Written from Plant’s Jennings Farm home in Blakeshall, a letter to Stan Urban, a resident musician at a club called La Reja in Ibiza, Spain. In full: “Trusting you’re all fine etc. Well I’ve done it; transferred some reggae from tape to tape. Unfortunately the quality is not very good but the original has travelled miles & miles with me on tour and is more or less knackered. There is some nice stuff on it & some more conventional ‘pop’ by Toots & the Maytells which I like a lot. Originally I had two tapes, the one you have here, and another. The other was far more ‘DUB’ than this one. It looks as if I left in America—you know ‘Gotta to be out of the hotel in 3 minutes’—Anyway I’m hunting for some other stuff & will record it in time! Alas we can’t make Ibiza as we hoped Maureen has to go back in hospital to have some of her metal removed from her leg in a weeks time—and will be in hospital for a couple of weeks, so we shall have to see what happens afterwards. Keep in touch.” In very good to fine condition, with splitting along two of the three horizontal mailing folds. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of provenance from the original recipient: “Robert and I became friends in Ibiza during the late 70s– early 80s. We jammed together several times. Both of us loved reggae and he used to record tracks which he thought would interest me.” Plant’s mention of Maureen (Wilson) having “metal removed from her leg” is undoubtedly related to the couple’s nearly fatal accident on the Greek island of Rhodes on August 4, 1975, when their car skidded off the road and collided with a tree in a ravine. Wilson suffered life-threatening injuries in the crash, including a broken leg and a fractured skull and pelvis. While Wilson remained in London to continue recovery, Plant wrote the song ‘Tea for One,’ expressing his feelings for her while they were apart. Starting Bid $200

A real rock star super-diva, in her own world.” John does, however, have several warm candid photos of himself with Lindsey Buckingham in particular and also Mick Fleetwood.

Extremely rare handwritten ‘top ten’ list from Ronnie Van Zant—“They represent the ten most influential songs in my music career” 4513. Lynyrd Skynyrd: Ronnie Van Zant Handwritten ‘Top Ten’ Song List. One-of-a-kind

handwritten “Lynyrd Skynyrd All Time Top Ten” list by Ronnie Van Zant, written in bold pencil on an off-white 8.5 x 14 sheet of Lynyrd Skynyrd stationery during an interview with acclaimed rock journalist Michael Gray on November 15, 1974. Van Zant adds the header, signs below, “Ronnie Van-Zant,” and then runs down a list of his 10 favorite songs, which reads as follows:

“1. Dock of the Bay—Otis Redding / 2. Satisfaction—Rolling Stones / 3. Yesterday—The Beatles / 4. What’d I Say—Ray Charles / 5. If We Make It Through December—Merle Haggard / 6. Can’t Explain—The Who / 7. Big Boss Man—Jimmy Reed / 8. Respect—Aretha Franklin / 9. Will the Circle Be Unbroken—Traditional / 10. Light My Fire—Doors.” Van Zant adds a brief handwritten note to the lower right, signing with his initials: “Please note: These are not in any order of preference. The[y] represent the ten most influential songs in my music career. RVZ.” This ‘top ten’ list, as well as Van Zant’s handwritten comments, were later published in the February 1975 issue of Let It Rock magazine. In fine condition, with light overall toning, a central horizontal fold, and a strip of masking tape along the top back edge. Accompanied by the original February 1975 issue of Let It Rock magazine, as well as a program from Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 1974 European Tour. In November 1974, Lynyrd Skynyrd arrived in Scotland for their first European tour, supporting Dutch rockers Golden Earring. A UK-based music magazine, ‘Let it Rock,’ wanted to write a feature about the band and dispatched Gray to report on their first two concert dates—Glasgow and Edinburgh. As part of his article, Gray asked each band member to write down their ‘top ten’ songs, hoping to gather a sense of the music and artists that influenced them and informed their musical style. Gray assembled lists from all seven members of Lynyrd Skynyrd on November 15, 1974, prior to the band’s show at Edinburgh’s Odeon Theatre as part of their Nuthin’ Fancy Tour. Van Zant remains rare and highly sought-after across all signed formats, with this handwritten ‘top ten’ list far and away the most substantial and significant example of Van Zant’s handwriting that we have offered for auction. A remarkable rock and roll keepsake detailing the songs that shaped the short musical career of a rock legend. Starting Bid $1000

Unusual ‘Live’ preview with two incarnations of Lynyrd Skynyrd, highlighted by RVZ and Cassie Gaines 4514. Lynyrd Skynyrd Signed Album. Special

Advance Preview From Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Live’ Album EP, signed on the front of the sleeve in blue ballpoint in 1976 by eight members of the classic lineup: Ronnie Van Zant, Billy Powell, Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, Leslie Hawkins, Cassie Gaines, Leon Wilkeson, and Artimus Pyle. The reverse was then signed in black felt tip by the band in 1992, including: Johnny Van Zandt, Gary Rossington, Ed King, Randall Hall, Leon Wilkeson, Billy Powell, and Artimus Pyle. In very good to fine condition, with light edge toning, and rippling to the right edge from onetime moisture exposure. The record is included. The consignor notes that it was originally signed for a concert promoter in ‘76, before being signed again by a later incarnation of the band in ‘92. Ronnie Van Zandt and Cassie Gaines were both killed in Lynyrd Skynyrd’s tragic 1977 plane crash, making their autographs especially scarce and sought-after. Starting Bid $300

“Rasta Love, Kaya, Bob Marley” 4515. Bob Marley Signed Album. Highly displayable Kaya album signed on the front cover in black ballpoint, “Rasta Love, Kaya, Bob Marley.” In very good condition, with moderately heavy overall creasing, old tape to the partially detached left edge, and a small area of minor surface loss to the upper left corner; none of which truly detract from the overall grand presentation. The record is included. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. In contrast to earlier, more politically charged Wailers albums, the sound on Kaya—a Jamaican word for cannabis, hemp, or marijuana—was considerably more serene and laid back, and its release coincided with the One Love Peace Concert, which heralded Marley’s return to Jamaica from exodus in London. Albums signed by Marley remain exceptionally scarce, with this particular title all the more desirable given its neat signature, lack of inscription, and essential role in roots-reggae history. Starting Bid $1000

Scarce German pressing of Marley’s Uprising 4516. Bob Marley Signed Album. German pressing of

In fine condition, with aforementioned tracing over of signature. The record is included. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient which reads, in part: “We have a house in Rottach-Egern on Lake Tegern (Bavaria)…that we used to rent out as a vacation house. At one point an English doctor came to us and rented the house for a cancer patient and several other people…my parents learned that it was dealing with Bob Marley, who was undergoing cancer treatment with the former ‘miracle doctor’ Dr. Issels. The doctor had rented the house for several weeks…Bob Marley probably left the house in the dark early in the morning to go to Dr. Issel’s clinic and returned in the dark late in the evening…My mother explains that the house had been totally overheated to the point that the balconies were warped! Bob Marley…moved to somewhere else. At that time, we had only seen his mother and his entourage, since other opportunities still had to be regulated. My mother asked for an autograph for her children and then we got these albums (Kaya for my sister and Uprising for me, Stephanie).” Issels, known for his controversial alternative cancer therapy regimen, treated Marley for several months in late 1980 until a few days prior to Marley’s untimely death at age 36.

When visiting him we used to take some of our favourite music with us to listen to while there. On one particular Singapore Airlines flight in 1974 or 1975 we spotted Queen going into the first class cabin, which excited my brother enormously. He was carrying the Queen II album with him and was an avid Queen fan. We therefore explained the position to the air stewardess and she took my brother up to first class to ask for Queen’s autographs. He was on ‘Cloud 9’ for the rest of the trip.” This is one of if not the nicest Queen signed albums that we have ever offered. Starting Bid $200

The whole band was fawning all over Julian because they were huge fans of his dad. All I cared about was autographs. I was there for Van Halen.” From The John Brennan In-person Autograph Collection.

The Black Album—a tremendously rare still-sealed example 4718. Prince The Black Album.

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

Prince’s VOX guitar with custom graphics, played in a Swiss studio in 2013 4723. Prince’s Personally-Owned and -Played VOX Electric Guitar. PPrince’s personally-owned

Prince used this particular guitar during his recording session at Powerplay Studios in Maur, Switzerland, in July 2013; after the session, Prince left his guitar behind in lieu of payment for the session. Andreas Kuhn, a noted analog audio technician, then received the guitar for his services in repairing the studio’s tape machine. Prince had spontaneously decided to record at Powerplay Studios after a concert in Montreux, only to find that its Studer A-800 multichannel tape machine was broken. He said he would return to record the next day, and Kuhn was summoned to the studio for an emergency repair. Kuhn managed to successfully fix the machine after a twelve-hour ‘firefighting’ campaign, and it was ready by the time Prince returned. This episode was covered by the Berner Zeitung (a Swiss German-language newspaper), and in the Memoriav Bulletin of November 2013. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the present owner, a friend of Andreas Kuhn who acquired the guitar from him. Starting Bid $10,000

Amazing early draft for Graffiti Bridge, heavily annotated by Prince—“Camille, darling if u say there is a Graffiti Bridge, then I believe u” 4724. Prince Hand-Annotated Draft for Graffiti Bridge. Original hand-edited copy

of an early draft script for the 1990 film Graffiti Bridge, 56 pages, 8.5 x 11, no date but circa early October 1987. The script features two pages of Prince’s handwritten revisions and numerous handwritten notations and emendations made by Prince in pencil and ballpoint. The reverse of pages 7 and 18 feature lengthy sections of revised dialogue in Prince’s hand. The reverse of page 7, in part: “SAX / ‘They’ve been together since they were kid. Both of them homeless. Orphans.’ Joshua—‘Inseparable they was.’ SAX—Yeah but complete opposites. Man, when those 2 fight, it’s like brother and sister. / VIENNA (grabbing SAX by the suit) ‘What do they fight about?’ SAX— ‘Not the suit baby, it’s rented. Well, Camille hates 2 be told he’s a nobody. Their last fight Ruthie called him that and then some. ‘Joshua’—Yeah she said somewhere there had 2 be a better land than real and she left him. / SAX, ‘Now Camille’s talking about this bridge, the boy’s gone nuts, I tell ya’…VIENNA—‘Camille, darling if u say there is a Graffiti Bridge, then I believe u. I’ll help u find it. U don’t need Ruthie. U don’t need anyone.’” The reverse of page 18 reads, in part: “Camille (slowly circling them) Dead weight. Yeah, that’s what u 2 are. Dead weight traitors. So what, I haven’t gotten us a gig in a minute. U can’t say my heart wasn’t in it. So what u haven’t eaten 4 week. I haven’t 4 2. Times are bleak. So what else is new?

Yeah, maybe I shoulda left u there with all the other side-talkin, dead weight, good-4-zilch bums. (turning 2 walk away). Don’t show up 2 none of our gigs no more!” In fine condition. From the collection of Prince’s former assistant and accompanied by a 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, with these notes mentioning several of their character names—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 $300

Amazing early Prince notebook, featuring handwritten lyrics for three unreleased songs plus a Grammy winner 4737. Prince’s Handwritten Lyrics, Sketch, and Business Notebook. Extraordinary 8.5 x 11 Citadel narrow-

ruled notebook with 11 pages containing Prince’s handwriting (ranging from a couple words to complete pages, all singlesided), signed on the front cover in ballpoint using a playful pseudonym, “Percy Bagonia, Chicago, Poland.” The first page is a handwritten draft by Prince of lyrics for the apparently unreleased “All I Want (Just a Little Love),” beginning: “I don’t need no money / All it does is make you want more / I’d only go to some big city / And blow it all on some cheap whore! / Right now, I’m feelin’ kinda horny / Sugar, if you would… / I really want you to make love to me / I just bet you’re so good.” The next page is headed in Prince’s hand, “Dearest Barbara,” but left blank. The following four pages are in another hand in red ink, and include a break-up note to Prince signed “Nadia” (“Sometimes goodbye does mean forever. I know all along our relationship has been soft & wet…but there have just been too many rumors”), followed by three pages of sketches in the same red ink. On the back of one of these pages in black ink, Prince writes the phone number of “Kim Downsher,” and on the opposite page he jots some notes with numbers and times, in addition to coloring in the shoes of one of the characters drawn in red ink. Following two blank pages, Prince writes out a full page of lyrics for an unreleased song, “Just One Night With You,” humorously credited, “by Harriet Tubman.” The first verse reads: “Just one night with you, / and I know I could face tomorrow. / Just one night with you, / would be the remedy for my sorrow / How I long for you—’ll never know / how I long for you—I long for you.” On the next page, Prince writes out lyrics for “I Feel for You,” which first appeared on his 1979 self-titled album, here credited, “by Percy Bagonia.” The hit begins: “Baby, baby when I look at you, / I get a warm feeling inside. / There’s something ‘bout the things you do / That keeps me satisfied. / I ain’t gonna lie to you, baby… / it’s mainly a physical thang / This feelin’ that I got for you, baby, / it makes me wanna sing! / I feel for you, I think I love you!” The best-known version of this song was recorded by Chaka Khan in 1984, for which Prince, as a songwriter, won the 1985 Grammy Award for Best R&B Song. On the next page, Prince writes lyrics for an untitled song with the theme of “Am I wrong for loving you,” complete with an

elaborate sketch at the bottom and tiny drawings in the margins. The lyrics begin: “Am I wrong… / …for wanting to hold you, everytime you’re near? / Am I wrong… / …for whispering things, you’ve always wanted to hear? / Am I crazy… / …just because I think I’d rather die, / than to live alone in desperate need of / your body close to mine.” The next page boasts an incredible pencil sketch by Prince, showing a very unusual guitar–human mashup: the fretboard turns into a human head and face in profile, and an electric guitar extends from the back of the head; a detailed, hairy leg juts out from the side of the main guitar body. Prince continues to write in pencil on the following page, noting: “Words to fun by: ‘To tap or not to tap / That is the question / Whether ‘tis funkier on the three / than the one is to suffer the / slings and arrows of unsyncopated misfortune.’ Willyum Shakespere.” Below, he writes out several of his pseudonyms: “Percy Bagonia,” “Dexter Cunningbowl,” “Alfred Horkelsby,” and “Seymou.” The next page, written out by Prince in ballpoint and headed “Prince,” and also signed at the bottom, “Thank you, Prince,” concerns his terms for a contract. In full: “Publishing: term 3 years 2 one-year options. Option Periods must be negotiated. 1. $10,000 check will be issued immediately upon signing. 2. If there are in fact two hit singles within the album, an additional $10,000 upon completion of the album will be paid. Publishing company will determine if they are hits. Booking: term 3 years 2 one-year options. 1. Option Periods must be negotiated. 2. A garanteed gross of $250,000 the 1st year, $500,000 the second year. 3. During 1st year a garanteed promotional tour of Europe. Management: Term 3 years 2 one-year options. 1. Option Periods must be negotiated. 2. Management has to see to it that I get everything stated above.” On the last page, Prince writes a set list in pencil, most of the songs coming from his second studio album, released in 1979: “Let’s Rock, I Wanna Be Your Lover, Bambi, Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad, When We’re Dancing Close and Slow, With You, Still Waiting, It’s Gonna Be Lonely, Sexy Dancer, Darling Marie.” On the back cover, Prince signs his name in ballpoint, “Prince,” and also writes “Patrice” and “Last Waltz.” In very good to fine condition, with expected handling wear, and dampstaining to the right edge of each page.

Nirvana Cobain’s stage-worn hospital gown from Nirvana’s landmark set at the 1992 Reading Festival 4738. Kurt Cobain’s Hospital Gown Worn on Stage at the 1992 Reading Festival. Off-

white hospital gown worn by Kurt Cobain when Nirvana played the Reading Festival in Reading, Berkshire, England on August 30, 1992. The long-sleeve cotton patient’s gown with open back, size large, features ties to collar and middleback section, with chest area stamped in green, “Angelica Healthcare, Rented–Never Sold” with upper caduceus, and inner lining retaining the original manufacturer’s label. In fine condition, with scattered stains and expected wear; lower tie string torn from left side, but remains tied to opposite side string; and just below logo are two small rusty holes from where Cobain had placed a small button. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, which reads, in part: “A few days after his death, there was a vigil for Cobain at the Seattle Center…About a dozen of us stayed long after the festivities ended. We sat in the Flag Pavilion listening to music…just hanging out among the candles and flowers fans had placed there earlier. Late that evening, Courtney Love showed up accompanied by Kat Bjelland of Babes in Toyland with a bag of Kurt’s clothes. She was visibly grief-stricken and proceeded to pass the clothes out while asking trivia about Kurt’s life…She handed me his hospital gown from the legendary Reading Festival performance from 1992. She then cried on my shoulder for a while. I tried to say something reassuring about his love for her and she pushed me away, insisting that he only loved Frances…The entire incident was sad. And weird. And it blew my teenage mind.”

The headlining act for the third and final day of the 1992 Reading Festival, Nirvana arrived in the United Kingdom as one of the biggest bands in the world, and frontman Kurt Cobain, a new father. Frances Bean was born some 12 days earlier on August 18th amid ongoing reports that Cobain and his wife Courtney Love were abusing drugs throughout the pregnancy. Rumors swelled as Reading drew near, with press outlets spreading news that Cobain had been arrested and that his ailing health, exacerbated by a recent drug overdose, would keep Nirvana from performing. Earlier that month, Cobain had indeed checked himself into LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for detox, spending the majority of the month there battling withdrawals and severe stomach pains before making the UK trip. The media circus prompted Cobain to address the issue front and center. Moments after his bandmates Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic walked across the Reading stage, Cobain was very dramatically rolled out on a wheelchair sporting a shaggy blonde wig and donning a loosefitting hospital gown. After struggling to stand, Cobain warbled a few lyrics from Bette Midler’s ‘The Rose’ and then promptly collapsed. He hammed it up for a few more seconds lying supine on the stage and then quickly arose, collecting his guitar and proceeding to play a lengthy and blistering set of 25 songs, with the resulting performance widely considered one of the best, and most memorable, of Nirvana’s career. Worn as a stunt at the 1992 Reading Festival, bestowed later as a parting gift from Courtney Love to our consignor at the Cobain vigil, this iconic and museum-quality piece represents the Nirvana frontman at his finest and most sardonic, jabbing pointedly at critics and detractors alike while retaining the intensely original showmanship that made him a living legend. A truly remarkable rock and roll keepsake here offered on the 25th anniversary of Cobain’s death. Starting Bid $5000

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


Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a purchase money security interest in such sums or items to the extent applicable, and agrees to execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued expenses, until the indebtedness is paid. By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction. RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders. In the event of a successful challenge to the title to any goods purchased pursuant to these Conditions of Sale and the exclusive remedies provided herein, RR Auction agrees to reimburse any Bidder in an amount equal to the successful bid price actually paid by Bidder at auction plus any Buyer’s Premium actually paid, in full and complete satisfaction of all claims, which once tendered by RR Auction, relieves and releases RR Auction from any responsibility whatsoever to the Bidder, even if the instrument is not cashed or is returned. Bidding Options: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid. When identical mail or facsimile bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Payment: Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than thirty (30) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements. All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks. In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment. If RR Auction refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys. RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the “Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession.


All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. 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 superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as


agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties. If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way. Governing Law and Enforcement The Parties agree that any agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location. The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, and any other related agreement(s) are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. The Parties agree that Bidder shall have no right to recover consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits damages. The Parties consent to the enforcement of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in either the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Except as provided in Bidder’s Remedies with regard to the Certification of Authenticity, any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other agreement(s) between the Parties must be brought within one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances giving rise to the alleged claim, without exceptions. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute release of any claims after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding on all parties in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by either RR Auction or Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale. The Bidder hereby agrees that RR Auction shall be entitled to present these Conditions of Sale to a court in any jurisdiction other than set forth in this paragraph as conclusive evidence of the Parties’ agreement, and the Parties further agree that the court shall immediately dismiss any action filed in such jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration related to or arising out of any Auction of an item sold for less than $10,000. This right shall relate to the individual item price, such that RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration for items that in the aggregate exceed $10,000. The prevailing Party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or

after the formal institution of the proceeding, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. This right of enforcement is unique to RR Auction, and these Conditions of Sale are a waiver by the Bidder of any right to enforcement or adjudication outside of an Arbitration.

CONDUCT OF AUCTION Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 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. 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. 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.

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. 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.

Glossary of Condition terms 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.
