All Those Print Artifacts, Rock Relics And Other Obscurities Collecting Dust In Your Garage Or Closet!

[Uncle Obscure]

You know how they say, one man's trash (blah, blah, blah...) So, show us what you got. Old rock magazines...ticket stubs...T-Shirts...promotional items...buttons, patches & pins...old Beatle cards(!), etc. We all have at least some of these kinds of things. Let's see the Rock 'n' Roll related items you've amassed over the years, that for whatever reason you've been unable to toss. Since I've been on a STIFF Records jag lately, I'll get the ball rolling with this. I have no idea why I saved it all this time, but here is a 20-page promotional insert from the long defunct, music industry trade, Record World. Looking at the STIFF Discography on page 14, I filled in all the boxes except for three. My OCD must have been running wild at the time. I wish I still had them. I'm afraid to guess what they'd be worth today.

More vintage STIFF fun!

I ask you. Has there ever been a more ill-conceived or ill-advised record label promo item?

 

[Uncle Obscure]

This was saved for obvious reasons. I had misplaced it during a move, but I found it in a random box in the garage a few years ago. I am so glad I did. What a spectacular Annie Leibovitz cover photo!

I was a big fan of Pete Frame's wild and wooly British music magazine, ZIGZAG. If a print magazine could ever be labeled Garage Rock, it would be ZIGZAG. An amazing pub that I'd read from cover-to-cover whenever I could score an issue here in the states.

Some more late seventies miscellaneous Punk and New Wave mags...

I can't believe it's been twenty years since the Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE tour hit the U.S. I saw the show in Chicago on October 2nd., 2004 from terrific box seats at the spectacular Auditorium Theatre. Sumptuous surroundings and breathtaking music. As someone who patiently waited for the release of the SMiLE album since 1966, it is a concert experience I will treasure forever. Great souvenir book, too!

Garage walls are spouse friendly locations for album posters that would otherwise be stuck in the closet

I was forced to give up a small storage room that had decades of framed posters in it. And so I ended up nailing them up in my hallway from front door. And it looks a little like this. I prefer a clean uncluttered look in general but ended up happy to see my old posters back up again. Pix coming soon.

After cbmmm3 posted his reply to the last batch, I found a few more punk rock magazines in another box that have several pinup pages. Stiv and flies is one for the ages.
