Sell Your Buddy Holly Crickets Alan Freed Big Beat 1958 Concert Poster
The Crickets were an American rock and roll band from Lubbock, Texas, formed by singer-songwriter Buddy Holly in the 1950s. Their first hit record, “That’ll Be the Day”, released in 1957, peaked at number three on the Billboard Top 100 chart on September 16. The sleeve of their first album, The “Chirping” Crickets, shows the band lineup at the time: Holly on lead vocals and lead guitar, Niki Sullivan on rhythm guitar, Jerry Allison on drums, and Joe B. Mauldin on bass. The Crickets helped set the template for subsequent rock bands, such as the Beatles, with their guitar-bass-drums lineup and the talent to write most of their own material. After Holly’s death in 1959 the band continued to tour and record with other band members into the 21st century.

Nate D. Sanders Auctions has sold the following music memorabilia:
Bob Dylan signed, handwritten lyrics from November 1961, when Dylan was performing at clubs in New York, shortly after he signed with Columbia Records. Dylan pens a song about Wisconsin, where he lived in late 1960 before moving to New York, and also where he spent time as a teenager at summer camp. The lyrics were given by Dylan to Peter Crago, a musician with whom Dylan briefly lived in New York in 1961. Full uncorrected lyrics by Dylan read,
”Bob Dylan – 11/20/61 / N.Y.C
1. Wisconson is the dairy state
I guess you all know well
I was in Wow Wow Toaster there
The truth to you I’ll tell
It’s milk & cheese & cream
I’ve known ’em all my days
I’m going back to my hometown I’m leaving right aways
2. I’m a heading out Wisconson ways
2000 miles to go
Madison, Milwakee set’s my heart aglow
I’m a coming to that dairy state
My heart’s a beating fast
I’ll pick my banjo gently there
And twiddle my mustache
3. There’s thoughts I left there long ago
One a coming now it seems
I’ll tune my banjo than the hills
And feast on milk and cream
And stamp my foot all thru the grass
And never know a care
My homes in Wow Wow Toaster
And I’m a going there”
The song continues on the verso:
”1. These people with you city ways
Are driving me insane to drink
My home’s in Wisconson it’s a better place I think
I’ve been in California
My home’s in Wisconson
And I”m gonna own the town”

Very Rare Doors Poster From a 1967 Performance at the Kaleidoscope Club in Hollywood
Original circular hand-pulled silkscreen poster, promoting a three day performance by the up-and-coming band The Doors, at the Kaleidoscope Club in Hollywood on 21-23 April 1967. A series of 20 posters were issued by Kaleidoscope in 1967, one for each concert that year. This dayglo fluorescent poster is considered to be the most rare in the Kaleidoscope series because of the type of ink used by artist John Douglas Kline in production. Posters in this series are almost non-existent because they were issued for promotion only, and the silkscreens used to produce the posters were burned in a fire. The Kaleidoscope was a psychedelic rock venue run by the management of the band Canned Heat. It was only open for roughly six months in 1967, with many memorable bands performing in that brief time. The venue was housed at the Earl Carroll Theater, which was then located at 6230 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, and featured two concentrically rotating stages at the center of the venue. For The Doors performance, the show was moved to a club called Ciros, at 8433 W. Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, (which is now the Comedy Store) since the original location of the club at the Earl Carroll Theatre had yet to be finalized. Circular poster depicts a silhouette of the faces of The Doors, with the band names in psychedelic 60’s font, and is printed in bright shades in a color combination meant to play tricks on the eye, as if looking through a psychedelic kaleidoscope. Previously owned by Alan Brackett, the original bass player in the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, who played with The Doors at this venue, along with The UFO. Poster measures 18.75″ in diameter, with some pinholes around the edge and very minor creasing. Near fine condition. Sold for $3,936.
Charles Schulz original hand-drawing of Snoopy, signed by Schulz. Illustration of Snoopy in a ranger’s hat and backpack was used for a poster to promote the ”Open Nature” concert on 27 April 1999, with members of the Grateful Dead playing. Drawing is accompanied by the concert poster, signed by Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart and by Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar. Illustration of Snoopy is complemented by a nature scene of mountains and trees, drawn by Brooks Anderson, and signed ”Brooks ’99”. Lot also includes a laminated pass to the event, also showing the illustration of Snoopy. Schulz illustration measures 8” x 10” inside of black frame measuring 12.5” x 14.5”.
