Here are some music autographs we have sold:
Incredible Michael Jackson autograph letter signed ”M.J.” to Bill Bray, Michael’s head of security since he was a child, and also his father figure. In this highly personal letter, Michael reflects on ”true love”, his relationship with both his mother and father, ”the gift of and love of music”, and the ”long long road” he and Bray traveled together. Circa 1992, letter reads in full,
”Bill / It’s been a long long road, we have traveled throughout the years, concerts tours, meeting dignitaries, kings and queens of contries [sic], touring around the world twice, making people happy through the gift of and love of music. I’m coming of age now and really realize the importance of true love.
Joseph [Michael’s father] never ever had time for me, he only saw me as a way for him to make money. And as you know, Mother was a perfect Mother but I never was with her, my childhood was on stage away from Mother.
What I’m simply trying to say is thank you for being a Father. I don’t know what would have happened to me if you were not around. / I love you. / M.J.” On the verso, Michael writes ”Bill the Joker”.
Composed in blue ballpoint on lined yellow legal paper measuring 8” x 12.375”. Folds, else near fine. Letter is accompanied by an 8” x 10” photo of Michael with Bray, an MJJ Productions sticker, and a COA from Roger Epperson. Sold for $15,625.
Contract rider for the Beatles 28 August 1965 concert in San Diego at Balboa Stadium, signed by the ”fifth Beatle,” their manager Brian Epstein. This concert was a particularly well-documented event in rock and roll history symbolizing Beatlemania; it was added last-minute to the itinerary of their 1965 North America tour in response to popular demand, and an incident immediately followed the show in which the Beatles’ tour bus broke down and was damaged by a frenzied mob of crazed fans. Typed rider is also signed by a representative from the event purchaser Sight and Sound Productions. The Beatles’ live performance requirements are spelled out in the eleven point rider, including security considerations and crowd control. Also present is their famous requirement that they not play before a segregated audience. Rider arranges for the Fab Four’s transportation from Los Angeles to San Diego for the concert and guarantees the following terms: ”not less than 150 uniformed officers” were to be provided and more if necessary; a ”strong fence or barrier…to prevent any of the audience from climbing over”; also a ”platform for Ringo Starr and his drums” and a high-fidelity sound system equipped with a ”first class sound engineer”; a dressing room with ”four cots, mirrors, an ice cooler, portable TV set and clean towels”; a guest list not to exceed 50 complimentary tickets; one press conference and no further media engagements at the event; prohibition of ticket sales in advance of 31 May 1965; transportation including ”Two seven-passenger Cadillac limousines (air-conditioned if possible) with chauffeurs” and prohibition of unauthorized merchandise sales and bootlegging at the show. Incidentally, the Beatles encountered transportation snafus both coming and going – the airline workers’ strike coincided with their planned flight to San Diego and a touring coach instead brought the band from LA via Highway 1. Three-page document on 3 sheets measures 8.5” x 11”. Toning, creasing and staple punctures to the upper left, else near fine. A scarce record of the Beatles. Sold for $10,780.

Her name is Camille Barbone, she’s very good and extremely helpful and at this time is supporting me while I try to get my music act together…I have moved 3 times since the last time we spoke (not unusual). I finally found a place on 8th and 30th across the street from Madison Square Garden (where someday I’ll play) 8 blocks from rehearsal studio and it’s the favorite street for assorted bums and winos to hangout on but their [sic] harmless they just add more life to my already chaotic lifestyle. I’ve been auditioning musicians for a couple of weeks, finally got a shit kicking band together and my guitar player went on a European tour with another band and so I’m auditioning again. It’s really frustrating cause I’m so anxious to start playing out and it would only be a matter of months before we went into the studio to record…I’ve been writing lots of good material lately (songs) and everyone tells me how wonderful they are but it takes so long to get record deals and negotiate contracts and find the right musicians that I feel like I could lose my marbles every other day. I’m a glutton for punishment! Do you like rap music? I’ve written some great rap tunes, they’re great to dance to…” Madonna then ends the letter by mentioning Easter and writing: ”…Think of me when you’re stuffing your face w/ Jelly Beans.
