Music Memorabilia, Songsheets

Music memorabilia is a great way to maintain contact with favourite artists and their work. There are a range of choices in musical collectibles for all genres of music, including both current and "classic" items. Apart from CDs and records, there are some interesting musical collectibles available such as photos, concert tickets, flyers, posters, songsheets, album covers, jewellery and even sunglasses, relating to famous musicians.

Ensure that any autographed music memorabilia carries an authentic signature by being adamant about an authenticity certificate from the vendor. Rarity is a critical factor that greatly enhances the value of music memorabilia. Items with rare autographs of deceased artists tend to be valuable as (obviously) no more will become available. Doing some homework to gain a thorough understanding of prospective purchases can often pay dividends.

The various musical collectibles are sub-divided as follows:

Miscellaneous Signed Music Items
Duran Duran's 1993 CD single "Ordinary World," which peaked at no.6 in the UK charts, hand-signed by Simon LeBon and Nick Rhodes and mounted in a frame with a Commemorative Guitar Pick Collection looks a good choice.

Signed CD Displays
The likely focus is a framed Tom Jones picture and signed 2002 CD single "Tom Jones International"

Signed Flyers
The best collectors' choice may well be a flyer, hand signed by Will Young and mounted in a plexiglass-fronted, black, aluminium frame.

Signed LP Displays
The "prize" item looks to be a signed LP cover of Eric Clapton's biggest-selling 1986 "August" album, which also featured Phil Collins and Tina Turner.

Signed Songsheets
The highlight may be a songsheet of Queen's 1979 gold-certificated single "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," the band's first US no.1, which also topped the charts in 5 other countries and peaked at no.2 in the UK charts. Hand signed by Roger Taylor, it is mounted in a black, aluminium, plexiglass-fronted frame, along with a Commemorative Guitar Pick Collection.

All the above-mentioned collectibles come with a Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing signatures as genuine.
