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?

Not an album. I do have a Nnenna Freelon CD autographed by her at one of her 1998 shows. It was a thrill.

I have an autographed copy of a Phil Lesh album I bought at a concert. At the same show I picked up an autographed copy of Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest", he was still alive back then. I also have Paul Kanter and David Friberg's autographs from when I met them at a show.
I have since lost Peter Wolfe and Jack Cassidy's over the years..

I like getting my CD liner notes signed if possible. I tend toward smaller venues, lesser known to better known artist so access is usually there if they are in the mood (which they should be if they aren't full of themselves).

Carlene Carter signed my Japanese pressing of "Musical Shapes" when she was getting on the tour bus after a show in Wilmington, NC.  I remember it like it was yesterday.

"Musical Shapes" (Carlene backed by Rockpile)......maybe one of the greatest albums that most people have never heard.....

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.
