Ringo Starr Signed Backstage Pass $238.00
60311-1
Ringo Starr has signed this unused backstage pass in his usual first name only style of recent years, along with his illustrated star symbol. Executed in bold black marker, the signature is somewhat obscured by the white spot in the middle portion of the star in which appears to be a handwritten "6/7" (perhaps, a reference to the date of the concert "June 7". The additional writing appears to be a non-authentic signature of George Harrison. LOA from Beatles autograph expert Frank Caiazzo.

Hells Angels/Grateful Dead Party Poster, 1969 $320.00
60521-1
The Grateful Dead presided over this party at San Francisco's Longshoreman's Hall, held in honor of a fallen Angel, Gino Heinicke, on July 16, 1969. Incidentally, the Dead appeared on Hugh Hefner's "Playboy After Dark" television show the previous week; to be sure, quite a contrast to the crowd at Longshoreman's Hall! We were told the posters were to be die-cut at top corners to approximate a cemetery headstone, but the up-charge was too excessive to warrant the expense. Nothing fancy, but rare as hell! Unfortunately, the lower 8.5" portion of this poster, which mentions the Grateful Dead appearance, venue location, "one dollar per head" admission and other specifics, has been trimmed and is missing from this example. 17.5" x 14.5". Printed on thin card stock with corner and upper border tack holes, water spots mostly around border and light wrinkles.

Can't beat the price or the line-up! The very rare, 8.5" x 11" handbill exhibits corner staple holes and lower left-hand border stain and several small holes.

Hells Angels 1971 "Clap Clinic" First Printing Poster $430.00
60521-14
Randy Tuten designed this Hells Angels annual party poster, a benefit for the local STD/VD clinic at San Francisco's Longshoreman's Hall on June 23, 1971. Still "$1.00 A Head, "a hedge against inflation with Cat Mother & The All Night Newsboys and Cold Blood among the five-act line-up. Tuten's macabre graphics certainly grab your attention as VD takes a back seat to the skulls of holocaust victims and a swastika. The 11.5" x 20" poster, a very scarce first printing, exhibits corner tack holes, three creased corners, a ½" lower border tear and 5" wrinkle at upper middle border area.
Hells Angels 1971 "Clap Clinic" First Printing Handbill $110.00

Ringo Starr Signed "Abbey Road" Album $830.00
60686-1
Ringo Starr has very nicely signed his first name to the front cover of this American copy of The Beatles 1969 album "Abbey Road," the group's final recorded album which includes Ringo's self-penned "Octopus''s Garden." As one of only two songs written by Starr during the Beatle era, the other being "Don''t Pass Me By," an "Abbey Road" album signed by Starr is, of course, a highly desirable addition to any collector''s collection. The former Beatle''s signature is more of a scarcity these days as Ringo announced on his website in 2008 that he would no longer sign autographs in-person or honor autograph requests by mail. Signed directly under his photo in the famous Abbey Road crosswalk, the album comes with a LOA from Beatles autograph expert Frank Caiazzo.
