Autographed Albums

I thought it would be interesting to see how many of us have autographed copies of albums. My list is as follows.

The Doors/Morrison Hotel.....signed by Robby Krieger.
The Monkees/The Monkees......signed by Mickey Dolenz.
Jimmy Buffet/A1A.............signed by Jimmy Buffet.

Anyone else?

Recently I've been unpacking my stuff after my move from S.CA to S.WA, including my poster collection. I rediscovered a framed show poster from Rockpile's October 17, 1980 performance at The Hollywood Palladium, given to me as a gift some years later. It had been autographed by Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, and Billy Bremmer, only drummer Terry Williams' missing. The funny thing is the opening act that night was Pearl Harbor & The Explosions, funny because I worked with Pearl briefly in 2003, The poster had been packed away for years by then, and I didn't recall her name being on it, otherwise I could have had her sign it too!

One autograph I would like to have is that of eccentric pianist Glenn Gould. I love eccentricity.

Carlene's Musical Shapes album is fantastic! Rockpile is one of the three best bands I've seen live (the other two being The Band and NRBQ), and she and they were a great combination.

I have a couple of autographed albums, but my favorite autographed record is Brian Wilson's "Caroline No" 45 RPM 7" single. The song was pulled from the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album, but released as a Brian Wilson single. I took it with me to the record release instore for Brian's first solo album, at Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. I handed the 45 to Brian to sign, and he held it in his hands for quite a while, just staring at the label, a wistful look crossing his face. A prized possession of mine.
