Beatles - "Introducing The Beatles" - Vee-Jay SR-1062-Album. 1964 Offered for the first time in this condition is the holy grail of Beatle records. Here is the stereo ad back in the original shrink wrap, the rarest of all American Beatle records. This is the first version of the first Beatles album in America. There is probable cause to believe that the "Ad back" cover was prompted by legal and financial considerations. The "Ad back" has version one of the "Introducing" record, which contains the songs "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," instead of "Please Please Me" and "Ask Me Why." Vee-Jay was in financial turmoil, and thus, overlooked payment of Beatles royalties to their licensing company. Plans for fall of 1963 Beatles releases were put on hold. In late 1963, word within the music industry was that Capitol Records had a new English beat group called The Beatles, and was preparing to launch a large promotional campaign. Vee-Jay Records, knowing they still had temporary control of some of the Beatles master recordings and already had several thousand front slicks printed, hastily issued the stalled 1963 "Introducing the Beatles" LP. Because of the dispute over ownership of the above-mentioned Beatles recordings, there were no back cover slicks made. Instead, they rush-released the album with the back cover showing ads for different albums on their label. This helped them disguise the fact that they had "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" on the record. This helped create the more common version two, which is known as the "column back," issued once the legalities had cleared in early February 1964. The "Ad back" is the rare version one, issued at the end of the second week in January, 1964. It has been estimated that less than a thousand stereo copies were manufactured, with less than a handful surviving to this day. The cover has "Printed in the U.S.A." on the lower left of the front cover as all "Ad backs" do. Very minute tear on the back where the shrink wrap has adhered to the c

Elvis Presley - Commissioned Gold Watch (Mathey-Tissot, circa 1970). In 1969 or 1970, Elvis had a Memphis jeweler, Harry Levitch, customize premium Swiss-made watches, which the King gave to family, close friends, selected staff, band members, and other privileged sorts, identifying the wearer as one with "all access" status at Elvis' concerts and tours. Mr. Levitch crafted a bezel with Elvis Presley in raised circular letters. Mathey-Tissot's "Automatic" model is self-winding, water-resistant, has a sweeping second hand and day/date display, with a stainless steel underside and an adjustable wrist band. This beautiful, significant artifact comes with a letter of authenticity from Jerry Osborne of Osborne Enterprises, author of Presleyana--The Elvis Presley Record, CD, and Memorabilia Price Guide, and other respected price guides that are utilized extensively by recording collectors and dealers worldwide.

Beatles - WMCA Good Guys Picture Sleeve - 45 Single. Only a thousand copies were made to be given out as prizes for a radio contest held by WMCA Radio in New York to promote the single of "I Want To Hold Your Hand." The ones that have survived can be counted on two hands. A few years back one brought over $5,500 in the same, if not less, condition. The front of sleeve is a standard picture of The Beatles, while the back shows the disc jockeys from WMCA. The sleeve was given with the stock record. One of the rarest, if not the rarest sleeve. Condition: Small tear upper edge, slight foxing and staining on rear of sleeve. Solid VG+. From the collection of Bill Paquin.

Beatles - Music Memorabilia, Mastro Toy Banjo (1964). Manufactured in 1964-66 by Mastro Industries in New York, USA. This four-stringed toy instrument was originally manufactured with an instruction manual and came packaged on a colorful cardboard backing. Offered here is one of the better condition banjos we've seen, with very little damage to the face. The upper collar around the face seems to have a crack in it, but the banjo still has a nice sound. The four strings are on it and it will tune. The box offered with the lot is an early Mastro box of the same vintage, but probably not the box made for this instrument. Finding these instruments in very nice condition makes them extremely collectible when found, and this one seems to fit that bill. Very Fine.

Gene Simmons - Original Manuscript Book Truly one of the earliest and most important artifacts of this well-known band ever to surface, this complete and fully hand-written lyric book was penned entirely in the hand of Kiss founder Gene Simmons, and features over 60 handwritten songs. The book itself has Gene's legal name on the cover (Gene Klein) and gives great insight into the creation of what would soon become one of the most successful and long standing bands in history. The book dates back to the early 1970s when the group Kiss was just starting out, and forming their now trademark look and sound. Nearly 30 years later the band is still selling out stadiums worldwide, and, other than the Beatles, have had more gold records than any band or artist in history. Previously offered in a record-setting Kiss memorabilia auction, the break-up value of this volume cannot be overestimated, due to the extreme number of individual lyrics included herein. A letter of authenticity detailing the book's history and the consignors relationship to the band and Gene Simmons is included with this lot. Cataloged and guaranteed by Startifacts.

Beatles - Music Memorabilia, Beatles - Ed Sullivan Contact Sheets. When The Beatles made their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in February of 1964, it was and remains the most important event in the history of Rock music. Those of us in our forties today remember with fondness and excitement the atmosphere created by four young guys from Liverpool, England. As all of us recall where we were during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, we likewise remember being mesmerized in front of our small black-and-white television sets on Sunday February 9, 1964, at 8 p.m., when the Beatles made their American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. It was reported that over 73 million people tuned in. The next time they appeared was on February 16, 1964 from Miami Beach. Offered in this amazing lot of (83) black and white contact sheets of photos, both 35mm and 2.25" X 2.25" negatives were used, of the Beatles' appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show. This historic lot includes never-before-seen images of the boys backstage rehearsing, chatting with the stage manager, romping on the Miami beach, or sitting for photos with somebody's kids. These photos are tremendously fascinating, as it really is the only behind-the-scenes shots we have of these historic events. Also included are images of everyone from the Animals to Bobby Rydell, to little Stevie Wonder appearing on the show. And finally, included are another (34) black and white contact sheets of the Dave Clark 5, as appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show. Very Fine+. From the collection of Bill Paquin. (Total: 117 pieces)

Jimi Hendrix- Music Memorabilia, Jimi Hendrix Autographed Album (1968). Released January 10, 1968 as a follow up to his smash hit debut LP, "Are You Experienced," this album highlights Hendrix's own evolving musical experimentalism and acknowledges his early musical influences of soul and R&B. The strong inscribed autograph, "To Jody-Stay Groovy Jimi Hendrix," in the upper right corner of the album would be a cornerstone to any Hendrix collection. The cover shows wear on all four edges yet the cover is not split in any area. The record album is not included with this lot. Very Fine.

Beatles - Music Memorabilia Poster, "A Hard Day's Night" Movie Poster - Alternate Rough Layout (United Artists, 1964). A rough layout is a general sketch of a poster showing the position of text and illustrations giving the general appearance of the poster. This is a one of a kind prototype artwork produced in the developmental stage in creating the original artwork for the 1964 USA Movie Poster for "A Hard Day's Night." Approximate size is 19" X 24". The United Artists Publicity Department, in its attempts to create the most appealing posters for its huge hit in the summer of 1964, produced (what are known in advertising) concept roughs. This is one of the earliest roughs known for the "A Hard Day's Night" poster. It is pencil, as well as grey and black paint, on artist's tracing paper, and stapled to a heavier piece of sketch paper, and bears black and red pencil notations. The use of the word "OH" is noted in red to change to "Yeah," and the early Beatles' logo is crossed out, clearly making this an early rough which has been used to mark changes. This piece does contain the original sketches of the cartoon girls, which was retained, and used as they are shown here, on the 1964 printed posters and lobby cards! This drawing -- or Marquette -- is most likely an early attempt at the One Sheet art. The fact that these items have survived is miraculous, indeed, as they were discarded by United Artists sometime in the early 1970s. This piece is very much a part of Beatles history, and is unique. Very Fine+.

Jimi Hendrix - Music Memorabilia Poster, Winterland (Tea Lautrec Litho, 1968). To some of us, the greatest guitar player of all time, Seattle native James Marshall Hendricks, or Jimi, had to go all the way to England to become famous. His memorabilia probably ranks behind only Elvis and the Beatles in terms of desirability. This poster is from a show at Winterland in San Francisco. It has fabulous art by Rick Griffin and Victor Moscoso, and is in nearly perfect condition. The show also featured Buddy Miles Express, and Dino Valenti. From Bill Graham's numbered series, it carries the designation BG140. Measuring 14" x 21.5", it ranks in the Top 10 of Bill Graham posters, both in terms of scarcity and desirability. This incredible piece of art would easily be the centerpiece of any quality Rock and Roll poster collection.

Beatles - "The Beatles And Frank Ifield On Stage" - Vee-Jay LPS-1085-Album. Very rare cover featuring a drawing of the Beatles on the cover, which was copied from an early Dezo Hoffman photograph. This is the same record as the "Jolly What!" LP but with Vee-Jay's rights expiring in a few weeks, they opted to change the cover to depict The Beatles in hopes of generating more sales before their rights expired. This is one that serious Beatles collectors need for their collection. Only about a couple thousand copies were pressed back in 1964, so only a few still exist today. This version is the black label, with a tiny tear on the back cover. Extremely slight wear on the cover. Condition: record Mint-/cover VG++. From the collection of Bill Paquin.

Beatles - "A Hard Day's Night" - United Artist UAL-3366-Album. Only 300 copies were made of this scarce white label promotional copy of "A Hard Days Night." This copy has the rare DJ stamp on the back cover, most copies are stock only covers. All white label promotional copies of this record were issued in 1965 to help boost The Beatles sales, but as we know they needed no help in their promotions. A white label promotional copy in this condition is truly a rarity, as most that turn up on the market are in much lesser grade. Condition: record VG++/cover Mint-. From the collection of Bill Paquin.

Remember the scene where Stimpy's tapping finger drives Ren crazy? Here's a great animation cell, plus the hand-painted background, from that part of the show. You'll go a little crazy yourself if you let this one pass by! The cell measures approximately 9" x 11.5" in a frame that measures 18" x 21".

Ren and Stimpy - Original Animation Cell from Space Madness (Nickelodeon 1992). Who doesn't love Ren and Stimpy? John Kricfalusi's wild dog 'n' cat characters set the animation world on their collective ear with this innovative series back in the early 1990s. And no cartoon from that wonderful program has more appeal than "Space Madness!" Here's a rare chance to own a production cell with the original hand-painted background from this remarkable short. This scene has Stimpy hard at work, while Ren covets his "beloved ice-cream bar" (actually, it's a bar of soap, but then, Ren has space madness!) Size of the cell is 9" x 12", in a frame measuring 18" x 21". Please note that the scratch visible in the image is on the plexiglass outer frame, and not the actual cel itself, which is in pristine condition.

Beach Boys - "Pet Sounds". This album has often been voted the best album ever produced. An overstatement perhaps, but it was one of the most influential. Brian Wilson wrote most of the tracks after hearing the Beatles "Revolver" album. Ironically, it was this album that lead the Beatles to produce "Sergeant Pepper's." Offered in this lot is a still sealed Mono LP of the 1966 classic album. Condition: Mint. From the collection of Bill Paquin.

This intriguing poster lists all of the groups playing at the Kinetic Playground from January 24, 1969 through March 8, 1969, and it certainly lives up to it self-proclaimed hype of "A Bill Of Surpassing Excellence!" Featuring Buddy Rich, Buddy Miles Express, Rotary Connection, Grateful Dead, Grassroots, Vanilla Fudge, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Tim Hardin, Spirit, The Move, Jeff Beck, Savoy Brown, Mother Earth, Paul Butterfield, B.B. King, Bob Seger System, John Mayall, and Richie Havens. Wow! Now, that's a lineup. Very few of these posters have survived to the present day.

Marilyn Monroe - Signed Bank Check. Autograph collecting was virtually born out of the public's fascination with stage and screen stars, and Marilyn Monroe is the epitome of Hollywood glamour and celebrity. The rarity of Marilyn's signature has caused authentic examples to rapidly climb in value in recent years. The recent auction of her personal items at Sotheby's turned the auction world up on end with the prices realized. Offered in this lot is a hand-signed bank check made out to Gene and Harry's Service on October 8, 1948 in the amount of $3.67.

Beatles - "Yesterday and Today" - Capitol T-2553 Album 2nd State. A beautiful 1966 mono copy still in shrink wrap. This is the infamous "Butcher Cover" with the new cover pasted over still in shrinkwrap. Extremely rare to find "Butcher Covers" that have not been touched or attempted to be peeled to reveal the cover underneath. This copy with shrink still shines with all the beauty of being untouched. When the new cover was applied it was applied off center thus exposing some of the original "Butcher Cover" underneath, at the top of the seam and the bottom left corner. This is a West Coast copy with the identifying number on the back of the lower right side of the cover. In shrink, a beauty! Condition: Overall Mint-. Still Sealed.

Janis Joplin - Music Memorabilia Poster - Jay Lynch (1969). This rock poster for a November 23rd, 1969 concert by Janis Joplin at the Auditorium Theatre was drawn by Jay Lynch, one of the pioneers of Underground Comix. While not generally known as a rock poster artist, Lynch can certainly belt one out when called upon to do so. In this rare poster, done in his hometown of Chicago, Lynch retains his cartoonish style, rather than trying to effect an "artsy" manner, as others often did. Rarely did these posters have such a cartoonish feel to them, and Lynch even throws in some of his off-beat Comix characters. Announced as the "Janis Joplin Review," as she had recently broken off from Big Brother and the Holding Co., her group would soon be known as the Kozmic Blues Band. Measuring 21" x 25" matted and framed, this is a rare and historic poster by any measure.

Beatles - Music Memorabilia Posters - Richard Avedon Set (Nems, 1967). In 1967, The Beatles' company "Nems" contracted Richard Avedon to create the design for these posters, and then gave the distribution rights to three different outlets in three different countries. The publication that handled the distribution in the U.S. was Look where you could order your set with a pullout tab, and send away for your set to come in the mail for $1.50. These U.S.-distributed posters are slightly larger than their International counterparts. They are, undoubtedly, some of the most recognizable images from the Summer Of Love, and remain significant, important iconic reminders of the '60s. Other examples of first printings of these posters are included in Pop Art shows at museums all over the world. Most of these were loved to death long ago; finding examples like this without tack holes and tape marks is nearly impossible. These are near-perfect and guaranteed to be authentic first prints. John, Paul, George, and Ringo never looked so good. These posters measure 22" by 31". (Total: 4 )

This extremely rare lock is one of only three removed during a museum quality restoration of the costume by its famous owner. The costume, which is valued at over one million dollars, resides in the permanent collection of the world's leading motion picture and television collector in Beverly Hills, CA. Of the three locks known to have been removed during the restoration, one was retained by the owner of the costume, one was sold by the owner at Christie's auction house several years ago for thousands of dollars, and the final lock was a gift to our consignor for the many years of friendship the two have shared. The hair itself is framed in a unique, hand-made bamboo display with a portrait of the lion's costume. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an actual piece of a "Wizard Of Oz" costume. Included is a detailed letter of authenticity. Cataloged and guaranteed by Startifacts.
