Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have?


After getting a new equipment rack, I needed to change the wall decor.  I found a good spot to hang a guitar on the wall.  

This guitar was signed by the original members of Collective Soul in 1995.  It's been verified by the band.  I had posted a photo as a comment on their Facebook page. Both Ed and Dean Roland liked the post. I thought that was pretty cool. 

I found the guitar at a Guitar Center in Las Vegas.  It's a decent Mexican Telecaster.  It's not something that they sold to the public.  Probably given as a prize, etc. 

I don't have much else.  A Triumph album signed by Rik Emmett. 

I bet some of you people have some cool signed items and stories to go with it.  I would be interested in hearing about it if you care to share.

I have a couple things I value. 
First, a CD by Return to Forever signed by the entire band. The original line up of Chick Corea, Al Di Meola, Stanley Clark, and Lenny White got together for reunion album and concert tour back around the early 2000’s I think it was. Anyway, a very good friend was at a concert with back stage passes and they signed it right there. He gave it to me as a birthday gift. He has since passed away so it’s very special to me. I keep it on display all times.
Second, I have one of those framed gold record replicas that were flying around eBay over 20 years ago.  Jethro Tull Aqualung signed by Ian Anderson. It came with a certificate of authenticity and a photograph of him signing it. So I choose to believe that it’s real. That’s one of my all time favorite albums so I value it hanging in my man cave. 

Never been an autograph or memorabilia collector, but I do still have my right hand which shook Bob Dylan's at the old New Haven Arena in 1966 when I was 17yrs old.

I remember a long time ago once after shaking hands with Margo Timmins of The Cowboy Junkies, I never wanted to wash that hand again.  But I did.  (I also got her to sign my Black Eyed Man CD after that concert.)

 

- The 7" 45 RPM single of "Caroline No". Though the song was included on The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds album, Capitol Records released the song as a single credited to Brian Wilson. I took the single with me to the album release event for Brian’s debut solo album, held at Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. I handed Brian the single to sign, and he gazed at it for quite awhile before doing so.

- A concert poster for Rockpile at The Hollywood Palladium. Signed by Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, and Billy Bremner. Why not drummer Terry Williams? I don’t know, that’s how I got it (a present from my gal. I think she found it in Amoeba Music).

- The front cover of Way Out West by Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives. Signed by all four.
