Rare autographs of classic rock acts from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, concert
tour books and programs, books on the subject - limited editions and
otherwise; CDs and DVDs.

:

The finest collection of vintage autographed memorabilia, ranging from ABBA to The Who: hand-signed records, tour books, photographs, and CDs among others, all framed along with the corresponding historical artifacts. The painstakingly curated and hand-picked collection, among the hundreds of items, includes such items as:

- The earliest known full set of Queen signatures on a tour flyer from November, 1973 while in support of Mott The Hoople.

- A very early and unique set of Led Zeppelin autographs along with Polaroid shots of all four from their very first tour (Sweden, 1968) with Jimmy Page still signing as The Yardbirds.

- A full set of signatures of all four Beatles along with Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithful, likely obtained in August of 1967, in a Chinese restaurant in Bangor,Wales on the night their manager Brian Epstein passed away.

- An exceptionally rare fully signed Beggars Banquet LP. The record sleeve is signed by all five Stones at the promotional banquet held for the release of the album at The Gore Hotel London December 5th, 1968. Considering that the banquet ended in a colossal food fight - initiated by Mick Jagger and Brian Jones (it's a small wonder the record survived the onslaught intact...)

:

Approximately 350 signed displays, 3000 CDs and DVDs, 500 concert programs,
and hundreds of books.

:

The collection is proudly displayed in a temperature and humidity-controlled
basement.

:

It is a private Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which informs and inspires visitors.

As a child who grew up with the collection, it has shaped my passion for music, though it also was the reason I never invited friends over for fear that they would damage one of the prized possessions...
