A very warm welcome! I’m offering extraordinary items out of my collection – and I’m glad to see that you’re interested in this wonderful item. In more than 40 years (including 15 years as a radio reporter and DJ), I collected over 800 signed vinyl records alone plus literally thousands of other autographs on photos etc. , that were hand-signed by the artists when I met them for interviews or promotion all over Europe. My collection is unique – and this is one of my jewels. I don’t want to give it away, really. That’s why the asking price is what it is. If someone really, really wants it, however, I’ll let it go. “Rolling Stone – The Photographs” is a spectacular compilation of award-winning photographs from the first 22 years of the “Rolling Stone” magazine. It provides a visual chronicle of American rock and pop music culture as reflected in the magazine. Photographers include Annie Leibovitz, Herb Ritts, Richard Avedon, Albert Watson, Steven Meisel, Matthew Rolston and Bruce Weber – just to name a few. This is the original hardcover edition of the book, published in 1989. I started asking people to sign this volume in 1993 – only after I met Sammy Hagar, unfortunately (his signature is therefore missing in the book). The first artist to sign the book was Bruce Springsteen who was kind enough to leave his mark after he played a show in Berlin, Germany. In fact, most of the 49 signatures of the various artists and groups in this wonderful book. Come from Germany, where I met them individually between 1993 and today. With all the original autographs in it, I believe that this book is one of a kind. It’s very likely that there is no other one like this anywhere on the planet. I have never seen such a jewel in all these years. The following people, artists and bands hand-signed this book for me. Jack Nicholson (2x), His Holyness the 14th. Stevie Wonder (his hand let by his personal assistant). Terence Trent D’Arby. If you would like to see additional signatures in this book, please let me know. I will be happy to share the other photos in messages. The amount of hours and travel expenses invested to get all these signatures are too numerous to be counted. It really took a lifetime and a fortune to get to this point. In general, I obtained all autographs face-to-face (” in person “). I started collecting signed items back in 1985 and only decided to give some of them away several years ago. I guarantee the authenticity of each and every signature I offer. If you wish me to do so, I will be glad to issue a personal letter of authenticity, telling you in detail when, where and under what circumstances I received the different signatures in question. That written statement is a legally binding, lifetime guarantee, that the item you bought is genuine. The book obviously shows clear signs of usage, storage and/or age, but is in good condition overall and comes from a smoke-free/pet-free environment. It goes without saying that I will be very accurate and careful preparing and packing this item for you. Regarding the value of the volume, I will only send it insured and registered with a tracking ID. That’s obviously more expensive, but worth the investment. If you have any further questions, or if you want to submit a best offer for this item, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. May I invite you to have a look at my other auctions?
