One of my prized possessions is the original sheet music (complete and almost mint), to Still Waters by the Four Tops. It's signed by all four of the guys just above their individual photographs.

I noticed JM is auctioning a Four Tops autographed LP and wondered if anyone has any similar items of interest? Not so much a scan of labels signed at Prestatyn type thing but authentic vintage signed memorabelia.

What yer got folks?

Regards,

Dave

I have a copy of Mike & Ray - If only you knew on Giant signed by both.

Troy Dodds on El Camino signed by him and his band.

HI ALL Good idea, however last time this was done, it fizzeled out quick, I collect everything I can, my biggest regret was when I worked as a Roadie in the 70s I did not bother with photos autographs, it was a job, stil got a tambaren from MARVIN GAYE 76 BRUM. but i know he used it, but thats all the provanace, drum sticks from KOL AND THE GANG, And loads of stuff, any way this was got from Trentam gardens Mick Smith and myself sat talking with her foe ages dave

got dean parrish to autograph my copy of tell him when he played at hemsby scooter rally a few years back....but then he plays over here so much i guess theres plenty people got his !

Got this one signed by Luther Randolf,Weldon McDougal & Johnny Syles

Got this one signed by Luther Randolf,Weldon McDougal & Johnny Syles

These were signed in 2007 at the Hitsville Weekender in the US for Alan Pollard. There were also 25 full color posters created that were also autographed by the all three of the guys. Now Weldon has passed that's it, no more can be done. I'll dig out my poster and put it up.

Anyone got any vintage promo photos signed?

Regards,

Dave

Attachment failed. I'll be back.

Been luck y enough to meet a few artists Yarmouth weekendend Eddie Parker Signed a sleeve to go with my 45 -L.Chandler Garland Green signed the program -strange one was meeting Lou Ragland think it was in Rushden signed a black and white photo copy picture quite a few years ago never forget that

Martha Reeve Backstage signed prog Couple more I think as well

All great memories to look at and remember

Signed by Matt Lucas in the music room at his ranch. I arrived a couple of days AFTER Pete Smith had bagged his last copy of "You Better Go Go".

Had a great day with him though. He wrote the lyrics to the instrumental of Backstreet whilst I was there. Don't let anyone tell you "Shake It" is a Golden World acetate!

Signed by Norman Donegan of The Ad Libs at the record fair in New Jersey. He was a great bloke, who stole Bev's heart. He was there promoting the legacy of Otis Blackwell. (If you're not sure about Mr Blackwell's legacy then it's worth researching!). We got him (Norman) to sing "Think Of Me", which he actually remembered! Another great memory.

Dave

Mr Deon Jackson. One of my all time heroes through Ollie Mac. With the help of our very own Bob A, we spent a fabulous afternoon with him in Chicago reminiscing his catalogue over a great lunch. I managed to get him to commit to an appearance in UK for Chris Waterman's New Century Soul but unfortunately he changed his mind. One artist I would pay dearly to see/hear live.

Regards,

Dave

Mr 'Tighten Up'. Also at the record fair in NJ. It was through this afternoon that we established who The Four Perfections really were. Archie has more energy than blokes half his age! Another great memory.

I saw the 4 Tops at the Golden Garter around 1980. Golden Garter fairly well known to Manchester types. Went back stage and chatted for ages then got them to sign my British I,ll turn to stone. You will know the maku up of the group then. I think I gave it to Alan Pollard as a gift?? ( Maybe). Heaven.

A great vintage pic of Sammy Campbell. This was also signed in NJ after the best rehearsal I've ever witnessed. A true artisan. I taped it all and often play it back in my music room. A great memory. In my Top 10 'soul' memories.

Regards,

Dave

Here's a pic more contemporary. Taken by Bev at the Ritz in 1998 and signed by Brenda the week after at The Mechanics in Burnley. Not only could the lady still warble with the best of 'em, but she was a LOOKER too! AND a flirt! Great memories. Bev had this blown up as a poster before Brenda signed it.

Regards,

Dave

Finally, here's the poster we did of the Harthon Trio all signed up by them. Can't be many of these around now. Fantastic momento of a fantastic weekend. In my Top 5 soul memories.

How bout this, still up for grabs.

My ambition is to get these guys to autograph this photo. Anyone got ANY of these guys signature on ANYTHING?

I'm over there in March and am hoping to get at least two of them to sign it. Here's hoping...

This is one of Lavern Baker when I saw her at the Club 051 in Liverpool. Some other Soul Sourcers must have seen her that night too. Absolutely brilliant

Here is one of Little Richard. He was signing the Charles White Biography in Dobells, London. A true larger than life character.
