Description
This is The Cure's 'Seventeen Seconds' album from 1980 hand signed on the rear by Robert Smith, Laurence Tolhurst and Simon Gallup from the band.
Each has signed their fuzzed image at the bottom of the rear cover, and each with just their christian name, with the exception of Matthieu where it's simply signed 'Bye Bye'. I think he had left the band by the time the album was signed for my brother when he interviewed them and another member, (possibly Simon as it is black ink), has signed 'Bye Bye'.
The vinyl is in excellent / near-mint condition with no marks at all. The cover is is very good condition with very minor creases in three corners.
Please note that I am not a dealer or a record collector. The items I am selling are all from the extensive collection of my late brother.
He was a great music and radio enthusiast, working for both BBC and commercial radio stations in the East Midlands from 1980 until 2013 presenting various music shows, mostly folk and rock.
During this period he interviewed many bands and artists in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester and usually had them sign copies of the albums they were promoting at the time. He was also sent many promotional, DJ-only and white-label pressings direct from the record companies.
Sadly my brother passed away in November 2013, so I am slowly disposing of his extensive record collection. He had no family of his own, so according to his wishes we have opened a trust account to help his nephew and two nieces through university, and the proceeds from these sales will be paid into that account.
I will be listing quite a few similar items over the coming months, as there are original signed albums by artists ranging from The Ramones to Bryan Ferry and Sandy Denny, plus some rarities and DJ-only promotional copies.
All LPs will be sent in special secure mailers with stiffeners.
Thank you.
