Description
100% GENUINE UK 1960 JOHNNY KIDD Shakin' All Over HMV 7EG 8628 EP
FULLY AUTOGRAPHED BY THE 4 ORIGINAL BAND MEMBERS
JOHNNY KIDD'S AUTOGRAPH IS EASILY FOUND ONLINE ON "GOOGLE" LOOKING AT THE IMAGES SECTION
SIDE A HAS "BEST WISHES JOHNNY KIDD"... UNUSUAL FOR HIM TO SIGN BEST WISHES. THE OTHER SIGNATURE IS BRIAN GREGG THE BASS PLAYER "REGARDS BRIAN GREGG PIRATES"
SIDE B HAS ALAN CADDY THE GUITARIST, PRE HIS RGM & THE TORNADOS WORK "ALAN CADDY GUITAR" HE SIGNED. THE OTHER AUTOGRAPH IS CLEM CATTINI THE DRUMMER, FAMED FOR HIS LATER SESSION WORK, THE TORNADOS & APPEARS ON 44 UK NO 1 SINGLES SAYS WIKIPEDIA "BEST WISHES CLEM CATTINI DRUMS"
WIKIPEDIA & OTHER SITES SHOW THIS ORIGINAL LINE UP LASTED UNTIL LATE 1961 & THE THREE LEFT JOHNNY KIDD DUE TO DISAGREEMENTS. THE NEXT 1962 JOHNNY KIDD WAS SOLO.
THIS IS A VERY UNUSUAL ITEM, ALL FOUR NEATLY SIGNING. BY SIGNING THE LABEL IT'S LESS EASY TO DISPLAY AS BOTH SIDES ARE SIGNED. IF THE SLEEVE WAS FULLY SIGNED IT'D BE A £1000+ ITEM. BUT WE HEAR THEY ONLY EVER SIGNED THE LABELS SO THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS. JOHNNY KIDD WAS KILLED OCT 1966 SO UNLIKE SOME MUSIC LEGENDS, HE ONLY HAD 6 YEARS IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
YOU CAN SEE THE SIGNATURES ARE LIVE INK & WE'VE PHOTOED THE SIGNATURES CLEARLY UNDER A DESK LAMP TO SHOW THE DETAIL CLEARLY.
THE SLEEVE IS IN UNUSUALLY HIGH GRADE BEING A STRONG EX. THE RECORD WITH THE EARLY TURQUOISE LABELS IS HARDER TO FIND THAN THE 1963 BLACK REPRESS.
THIS EP WAS RELEASED IN DEC 1960 SO TO ASSUME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SIGNED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF THIS.
THE VINYL YOU CAN SEE HAS DAMAGE ON THE SIDE 2 "RESTLESS" TRACK. ***LOOKS BETTER IN HAND THAN THE SCAN*** IT DOES FULLY PLAY THROUGH WITH NO SKIP SOUNDING MUCH BETTER THAN IT LOOKS, JUST A VERY SLIGHT SOUND BEFORE THE VOCAL STARTS, BUT IT'S THE AUTOGRAPHS THAT COUNT & THE JOHNNY KIDD AUTOGRAPH IS ON THE BETTER SIDE. BEYOND THE DAMAGE IT'D GRADE AN "EX" WITH THE LABELS SHOWING IT WASN'T PLAYED MUCH, IF ONCE CARELESSLY... THE OTHER SIDE IS A HIGH GRADE 'NEAR MINT'
DELIVERY WILL BE UK BY SPECIAL DELIVERY, PRICE AS SHOWN
