Music Memorabilia
Posted by: Quad 33 on 10 November 2012
Steve’s rare record find at a car boot sale, got me thinking about music memorabilia in general. What’s your favourite piece of memorabilia? This is one of mine.
Regards Graham.
It was a square flexidisc sampler, issued by Factory Records in 1987 to commemorate the release of "The Guitar & Other Machines" (FACT 204) by The Durutti Column. In typical Factory style, the flexi came in a large box designed by Trevor Key, and the whole was called "The Guitar & Other Marketing Devices".
Here's the box...
I still have the 45rpm Kenny Everett Pepsi Lipsmackingthistquenchin flexi disc.
They used to give them out in pubs in the early 70s to run with the tv adds.
Also have the MM free 45rpm flexi disc of BSS.
I still have all my programs and tickets of most every gig i have ever been to.
A mate of mine has one of Stings socks.
Another has a signed panty pad that was used by Siouxsie Sioux.Dont Ask!!
I have a few photos from Eltons first wedding.
My ex wife has a load of photos of John Lennon and family taken in the garden at his place .
