HERE'S AN INTERESTING LOT FROM MY OWN COLLECTION!
MY PERSONAL COPY OF THE VERY WELL RESEARCHED BOOK ABOUT EDDIE COCHRAN ENTITLED 'DON'T FORGET ME - THE EDDIE COCHRAN STORY' BY DARRRL HIGHAM & JULIE MUNDAY.
A GREAT READ WRITTEN BY ONE OF EDDIE COCHRAN'S BIGGEST FANS AND THE GREATEST 'STUDENT' OF EDDIE COCHRAN'S GUITAR STYLE YOU WILL EVER HEAR!!
BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LOT SO 'UNIQUE' IS THAT NOT ONLY IS THE BOOK FROM THE FIRST RUN OF BOOKS PUBLISHED IN THE UK IN 2000 BUT I GOT IT SIGNED BY DARREL HIGHAM AT THE 30th SEPTEMBER 2000 EDDIE COCHRAN WEEKENDER IN CHIPPENHAM, WILTSHIRE, ENGLAND WHERE DARREL WAS PERFORMING AND I ALSO GOT THE BOOK SIGNED BY MEMBERS OF BILL HALEY'S ORIGINAL 1950s COMETS (NOT A BUNCH OF MODERN 'STAND INS'!) WHO WERE HEADLINING THE WEEKENDER!!!
THE COMETS' AUTOGRAPHS ARE:
Dick Richards Marshall Lytle Joe Ambrose Johhny Grande Frannie Beecher
AS PROVENANCE OF THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE AUTOGRAPHS I AM INCLUDING COLOUR PHOTOCOPIES OF THE SEPT. 2000 COCHRAN WEEKENDER 'FLYER', MY PERSONAL WEEKENDER 'ENTRY TICKET' no.008 (I WAS A 'V.I.P.' IN THOSE DAYS!!) AND 2 SMALL PHOTOS I PERSONALLY TOOK OF THE COMETS ON STAGE!
DICK RICHARDS IS SHOWN IN ONE PIC SINGING ('WELL NOW DIG THIS' I RECALL) AND HE IS POSSIBLY THE ONLY SURVIVING MEMBER OF THE ORIGINAL COMETS AT 94 YEARS YOUNG!!
EVEN AT THIS GIG IN 2000 THE COMETS WHO WERE ALL AT LEAST IN THEIR 70s ROCKED THE HOUSE DOWN - AMAZING!!!
THE BOOK IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND HAS ONLY BEEN READ ONCE OR TWICE. NO TORN OR MISSING PAGES. A NICE CLEAN COPY. THE DUST JACKET IS FULLY INTACT WIH JUST MINOR SIGNS OF AGE AND RUBBING/HANDLING.
SEE THE PICS, THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. Note: Darrel's autograph has a dedication to me ('Graham') BUT the Comets ones are NOT DEDICATED.
UK BUYERS - POSTAGE BY ROYAL MAIL 'SECOND CLASS SIGNED FOR' MAIL IS £4.50 OVERSEAS BUYERS - POSTAGE BY ROYAL MAIL 'TRACKED/SIGNED' AIRMAIL IS £12.00
