Bryan Ferry Handwritten & Signed Note UK memorabilia
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
A wonderful piece of original and authentic Roxy Music memorabilia from 1971 - the early days of the band, prior to their signing with Island, and indeed before they had even played any live shows!
This item is a 10" x 15" piece of xeroxed paper featuring on one side a copy of an article from Melody Maker's 'Horizon' column by Richard Williams on an emerging band from Newcastle (then just called Roxy) "which has produced one of the most exciting demo tapes ever to come my way" and whose "influences stretch from Ethel Merman to the Velvet Underground to jazz". It details the very first pre-June '71 line-up with drummer Dexter Lloyd and guitarist Roger Bunn. As if that wasn't fascinating enough...
The band naturally used these copies as a promotional tool. This one has been folded over twice and marked for the attention of the then social secretary of Newcastle University's student union by Bryan Ferry in blue ballpoint pen, with a note written on the reverse in case he wasn't available when Ferry and Andy Mackay visited the union building. The text is as follows:
"Could you possibly phone Newcastle 811026 tomorrow (morning if possible) where we have a tape of our music which we would like you to hear re. future gigs"
It is signed underneath by Bryan Ferry. In fact, the social secretary was available to see them in person - he also wrote Andy Mackay's telephone number alongside the note, and has provided a signed letter detailing the meeting which will accompany our own Certificate of Authenticity.
A remarkable, personal one-off item - you'll NEVER find another one of these!
