A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT

RITCHIE BLACKMORE Metal Hammer (January 1987 UK 104-page magazine featuring an exclusive 4-page interview with the Deep Purple guitarist. Also includes a 6-page article charting the history of Deep Purple. With great front cover shot of Ritchie. Also includes articles on Europe, Slayer, Iron Maiden and much more)
RITCHIE BLACKMORE A 'Distressed' Strat Body (I'm not quite sure where to start on this, but I'll have a go. It is well known that the ex-Deep Purple guitarist had a fondness for Strat abuse and then attempting to brain a member of the public by throwing the remains of the poor unfortunate guitar out to be ravenously devoured by the audience. I suppose you had two choices, a lump on the head & coma or catch the damn thing as it whizzed towards you. One such piece is this, caught beauti

Tracklisting: fully & without personal injury by a member of the audience at the aptly named Rainbow Theatre in London on the 'Rainbow Rising' tour, after Ritchie destroyed the guitar he was playing during the encore & threw the bits into the crowd. I'm kind of surprised that it's a wobbly three bolt microtilt, but then I don't suppose you really want to demolish that pre-CBS Strat, do you ? This piece of volcanic ejectamenta is approximately half of the cream body of a seventies three bolt neck Strat. By some miracle, the tailpiece, tremolo arm and the ends of the strings have survived, along with the ENTIRE leather strap that is bolted to the back & the horn very securely. Naturally enough, the guitar has split along its weakest points, these being the routing areas for the pickups [missing], volume & tone pots [missing] and the neck [missing]. What's kind of cool is that the entire strap is still attached, all the string tails are still in the block & the Fender plate with serial number 677923 is still on the back. This comes with a letter of provenance from the agile person who actually caught this flying lump of Strat debris, signed and dated, stating what it is & a copy of the Christies catalogue from 1997 where it was previously marketed, along with the 'Lot 23' tag dated 4th Sept 1997. As a piece of memorabilia, it doesn't come much better than this. YOU could actually own a piece of the guitar destroyed by Ritchie Blackmore himself, onstage with Rainbow at The Rainbow, still fitted with the strings he played during the encore, the tremolo arm he used and the strap that kept it on his body until such time as he decided to break it. A fantastic item. A one of a kind, never to be repeated, offer as this is one of one!)̃̃As an afterthought ... With the help of a tame Carpenter / Luthier to rebuild the body, the spares to replace the neck [which I would suggest you convert to a non-original four bolt], the electronics & the scratch plate, this could quite easily be returned to being a playable instrument. The great thing about Strats is that pretty much all of the electronics are mounted to the scratch plate, so that would be an easy job for anybody happy with a soldering iron & there is a wide choice of replacement necks from a multitude of places. Just get the body rebuilt/repaired & you're away playing a guitar that was once smashed up by Ritchie Blackmore !
RITCHIE BLACKMORE Man On The Silver Mountain (Rare 1975 UK 'A' label demonstration sample vinyl 7" for the debut single release, with intact push-out centre & release date of 10.10.75 on the label, also including Snake Charmer, plain companydie cut paper sleeve. The labels do not make any mention of 'Rainbow' at all and both sides are simply credited to Ritchie Blackmore. The vinyl is in superb condition & looks barely touched OYR103)
RITCHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW Special Sampler (Rare 1995 Japanese promotional-only 3-track sampler CD, featuring Wolf To The Moon, Black Masquerade & Stand And Fight. Custom picture sleeve - still in original shrinkwrap which is only opened along the bottom edge PDTD-1117)

Tracklisting: 1. Wolf To The Moon 2. Black Masquerade 3. Stand And Fight
RITCHIE BLACKMORE Black Knight (2007 UK 400-page softback book by Jerry Bloom - guitarist Ritchie Blackmore found fame with Deep Purple, then walked away to create Rainbow, only to abandon them & form Backmore's Night. Read how he handed in his resignation in the middle of Deep Purple's 25th anniversary tour & learn how he became involved with Lord Sutch, Gene Vincent & others, revealing his love/hate relationship with Ian Gillan along the way, his moodiness, antics on & off stage,

Tracklisting: reputation as a hire & fire merchant, along the way there's also time for marriages, police chases, imprisonment & football!)̃̃
RITCHIE BLACKMORE Getaway - 60's Groups & Sessions (2006 Japanese issue 50-track 2-CD album set compiling together the Deep Purple / Rainbow gunslingers 60's session tracks including recordings with Screaming Lord Sutch, Heinz and Jess Conrad and includes several tracks released on CD for the first time, plus a 1983 radio interview in which Ritchie reminisces about Joe Meek and his early Career [included here is the demo version of the Meek-produced 'Telstar',

  • Selling to us is easier than selling it yourself – If you have a collection of 30 records, that would be 30 different listings on Ebay, lots of questions to deal with, 20 different parcels to package (as at least 10 won't sell), dealing with items missing or damaged in the post and possible fraud. So often a daunting and time consuming task, it's much better to leave all that to us.
