Here are details on some of the featured collections:
The history of African American music of the 20th Century is captured in
this catalog. ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com is honored to offer the incredible
David Gest Poster Collection. In his many years as a Producer, and
serious collector, David assembled an outstanding historical selection
featuring many of the rarest cardboard boxing style posters. From early
blues and R&B shows, through great line-ups such as “The Biggest Show of
Stars for ’65,” boasting the likes of The 4 Tops, The Temptations,
Stevie Wonder, Martha & The Vandellas, Junior Walker & The All Stars and
The Marvelettes, most of which are in mint condition, these posters
could set world records. Other Big Names on these posters include Buddy
Holly, James Brown, Ike & Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye and The
Supremes.
Complimenting the David Gest Collection is Part 1 of the Ray Overton
Estate Collection. Mr. Overton promoted concerts in the Wichita, Kansas
area from the 30’s into the early 60’s, and ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com is
proud to offer the finest collection of posters ever to represent the
history of black music, from Traditional to Popular, from Swing and Jazz
to R&B and Blues, including Doo-Wop and Soul. Featured performers
include: Ruth Brown, Lloyd Price, Fats Domino, The Ravens, Guitar Slim,
Jackie Wilson, Etta James, B. B. King, Johnny Otis, Buddy Ace, Amos
Milburn, T Bone Walker, Little Esther, and many more.
The 16 Magazine Beatles Photo Archive consists of thousands of
photographs, including many original vintage prints with photographers
stamps and notes from the seminal magazine of pop music. This collection
features many photographs that have never been offered publicly prior to
this sale. Original photographic prints from 1957 and 1958 of fresh
faced youths, through their solo years, these can be considered Fine
Art, as well as Historical, investments. Additional photographs include
an original 1967 print of the Sgt. Pepper cover session, front row
photos from John Lennon’s last ever live concert appearance at Madison
Square Garden in 1974 including the negatives and the photographers’
publishing rights and a collection of 14” x 20” prints directly from the
Apple Records archives.
The auction will feature almost 1000 lots, all photographed and expertly
described featuring an incredible collection of Beatles memorabilia
including the “Magical” sign from the “Magical Mystery Tour” bus used in
the film of the same name, the original Abbey Road LP mock-up & cover
art, the original sign from outside John Lennon’s home at Tittenhurst
Park, an engraved Apple sign from the Apple Records offices, spectacular
promotional posters and displays, records, autographs, tickets, concert
posters, and toys.
An incredible selection of Jimi Hendrix Concert Posters offers truly
magnificent fine art and historical artifacts, including the actual 1967
marquee poster from The Marquee club, a poster from Yale University in
Connecticut that also features Janis Joplin, one from a free show on
Boston Commons, the Miami Pop Festival, at the ABC Chesterfield in
England opening for Cat Stevens, Sweden, Seattle, the Washington Hilton
and more.
The expanded record division, directed by Gary Johnson of Rockaway
Records, boasts not one, but two 2 first state stereo Butcher cover
albums, plus acetates from The Beatles, Elvis, Madonna, David Bowie and
the Sex Pistols. An incredible find is the 45 with picture sleeve and
sheet music for the first release from a then 5-year-old Billy Joe of
Green Day. We will have a special section
dedicated to “Who They Were." Including: Stevie Ray Vaughan
in the Cobras, The Beach Boys in Kenny & The Kadets, Stevie Nicks and
Lindsay Buckingham in Fritz, Don Henley in Felicity and
Ray Manzarek in Rick & The Ravens.
The Beatles Autograph section, all authenticated and directed by Frank
Caiazzo, includes what may be the earliest Beatle album ever signed.
Their first UK LP, “Please Please Me” autographed by the Fab 4 at a
concert a mere 6 days after it was released! The lot includes a ticket
stub, program and letter from the recipient of the autographs. Also
featured are letters by John and Paul, both with important content. The
letter from John to Media Sound requests that no material be released to
anyone other than John, George or Ringo, an ominous example of the
acrimony of the break-up. Autographs of The Beatles obtained personally
by Eddie Cochran’s bass player during the tour are also included.
The Andre Van Pier High Fashion Collection is an astounding selection of
costumes designed for and worn by Mick Jagger, Diana Ross, Sting,
Michael Jackson, Madonna, Dolly Parton and many others. The highlight of
this collection is the red sequined dress worn by Dustin Hoffman in the
movie “Tootsie.” Portions of the sale of this collection will benefit
the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Also highlighted are audio recordings that include the complete
soundboard recording of The Beatles at Shea Stadium and a never before
heard audio of John and Yoko just goofing around. And there will be
handwritten lyrics by Jimi Hendrix,
George Harrison, Jim Morrison (“The Lizard
King”), Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and the Rolling Stones.
The Rolling Stones section will also include original 1965 concert
posters obtained from Goldie and the Gingerbreads saved from when they
toured with Mick and company. Some of the rare Stones items includes an
incredibly rare cardboard poster for “Murray the K presents The Rolling
Stones” in New Haven from 1964, the only known film of Keith Richards
shockingly infamous incident in Sacramento in 1965 when he was
electrocuted and knocked unconscious while on stage, plus autographs,
photos and even Mick’s personal blue tour robe from the Stones 1975 Tour
of The Americas.
And that’s not all. How about the earliest Elvis poster ever to surface?
It’s a 1954 concert poster from the Eagles Nest in Memphis.
ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com is going to make music history … again.
