HAND SIGNED in Ball Point Pen by ADRIAN BELEW

100% GUARANTEED authentic Autograph was obtained in person at a concert by previous owner, a long-time Radio DJ, who also interviewed Belew on-air and got to know him well over several years.

One of a small handful of ADRIAN BELEW signed albums (solo / King Crimson / The Bears) that I am listing from this amazing collection.
SEE BELOW for more info on that.

Adrian Belew is a premier guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer who has worked alongside some of the most ground breaking artists of the past 30 years, including David Bowie, Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, Laurie Anderson and Nine Inch Nails, plus many more - while releasing numerous of his own solo albums.

From 1981 to 2008 Belew was the singer and guitarist in Progressive art-rock giant King Crimson. Known for pushing the sonic boundaries of the guitar – with much of Belew's music mixing complex time signatures, witty lyrics, wild sounds, and a technical mastery of his instrument.

___________________________________________________

From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend
who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s.
Sadly he has now finally left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets,
plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.

Truly a great (and enormous) collection!

ALL OTHER COUNTRIES

FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL or PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL - Your Choice.

* I reserve the right to cancel any bids by any international bidders with poor or very low feedback.

.

I do NOT EVER want to exclude all bidders from any particular country, even though a few specific countries are responsible for almost all spurious "not received" or "not as described" claims over the years. This evolves... for instance in France, buyers from Ile de France area seem, more and more, to be very prone to make a false claim. (one of my earliest, very best customers was from Ile de France but moved to Belgium some years back) ...so even there, I hate to exclude ALL buyers from there; however I cannot possibly afford to be scammed due to the unlucky result of a winning bidder being a bad actor. IF you are from that area and want to bid/buy, simply contact me first and give me good reason to trust you.

Also it seems to be the fun game recently for some in Germany, Spain and Italy to buy far more than the collector can afford and make false claims on many of them. Again I will need to know you can be trusted. Many, many great buyers in all those countries, but plenty of trouble comes from them as well. Brazil has terrible post/mail problems. Italy has long Customs hold times. In NONE of those cases is it my fault and I will not lose out because of other countries' problems beyond my control. Occasional problems from China and Russia -I reserve the right to cancel a sale or bids from any buyer, case-by-case if I note problematic behavior or red flags.

Having said that, I will not ever cancel any bidders with solid, good reputations and feedback.

I sell regularly to all those countries (though Ile de France bidders will definitely need to contact me FIRST before bidding).

I wish there was no need for this caution, but I must and I do protect myself.

If you are honest, responsible and genuine, we will never have a problem and you may bid with absolutely no worries.

*OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS:
