Music and Entertainment Memorabilia and Collectables
B.B. King Autographed Black Electic Guitar
Here is a wonderful B.B. King Autographed Electic Guitar. It's not the original Lucille, but a close looker. Like Lucille, the guitar is made by Gibson (their Epiphone division) and is autographed in silver Sharpie by B.B. King himself. The autograph was done at a Chicago concert.
B. B. King arrived in Memphis for the first time in 1946 to work as a musician but after few months of hardship he left, going back to Mississippi. There he decided to prepare himself better for the next visit and returned to Memphis two years later. Initially he worked at the local R&B radio channel WDIA as a singer. In 1949, he began recording songs under contract with Los Angeles based RPM Records. Many of King's early recordings were produced by Sam Phillips, who later founded Sun Records. King was also a disc jockey in Memphis, where he gained the nickname "Beale Street Blues Boy", later shortened to "B. B." Before his RPM contract, B. B. had debuted on Bullet Records by issuing a single "Miss Martha King" (1949) that got a bad review on Billboard magazine and did not chart well.
In the 1950s, B. B. King became one of the most important names in R&B music, amassing an impressive list of hits under his belt including "You Know I Love You," "Woke Up This Morning," "Please Love Me," "When My Heart Beats like a Hammer," "Whole Lotta Love," "You Upset Me Baby," "Every Day I Have the Blues," "Sneakin' Around," "Ten Long Years," "Bad Luck," "Sweet Little Angel," "On My Word of Honor," and "Please Accept My Love." In 1962, King signed to ABC-Paramount Records, which was later absorbed into MCA Records, and then his current label, Geffen Records.
In November 1964, King recorded the legendary Live at the Regal album at the Regal Theater in Chicago, Illinois.
B. B. King in concert in France (1989) King's first success outside the blues market was his 1969 remake of Roy Hawkins' tune "The Thrill Is Gone." King's version became a hit on both pop and R&B charts, which was rare for an R&B artist. It also gained the number 193 spot in Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs Of All Time. He gained further rock visibility as an opening act on The Rolling Stones much-ballyhooed 1969 American Tour. King's mainstream success continued throughout the 1970s with songs like "To Know You Is to Love You" and "I Like to Live the Love." Between 1951 and 1985 King appeared on Billboard's R&B charts 74 times.

Penn & Teller Magic Trick - Photograph and Autograph Presentation
Stellar showmen? Funny magicians? Deadpan comics? Maybe their own website says it best, "Penn & Teller are eccentric magicians with a psychotic twist." Whatever you call them, Penn & Teller are a treat to watch. The sell out shows in Vegas and their appearances on television are always a tune-in affair. They work their magic on almost everyone who watches them. This presentation features a photograph of one of their magic acts and includes their hand-signed autographs in a beautifully matted and framed 11x14 display.
"Penn & Teller (Penn Jillette and Raymond Joseph Teller) are Las Vegas headliners whose act is an amalgam of illusion and comedy. Penn Jillette is a raconteur; Teller generally uses mime while performing, although his voice can occasionally be heard throughout their performance. They specialize in gory tricks, exposing frauds, and performing clever pranks, and have become associated with Las Vegas, atheism, scientific skepticism, and libertarianism."

Claes Oldenburg Electrical Adapter Autographed Postcard Presentation
This special presentation combines a postcard autographed by Claes Oldenburg and a copy of the Life Magazine (November 21, 1969 Issue) with a spread of color and black and while images and a great article about Claes. Pop Art was one of the symbols of the sixites and Claes Oldenburg was a pop art super star.
"Claes Oldenburg (born January 28, 1929) is a Swedish sculptor, best known for his public art installations typically featuring very large replicas of everyday objects. Another theme in his work is soft sculpture versions of everyday objects.
In 1962 the Sidney Janis Gallery mounted The New Realists, the first major pop art group exhibition in an uptown art gallery in New York City. Janis mounted the exhibition in a 57th Street storefront near his gallery at 15 E. 57th Street. The show sent shockwaves through the New York School and reverberated worldwide. Earlier in England in 1958 the term "Pop Art" was used by Lawrence Alloway to describe paintings that celebrated consumerism of the post World War II era. This movement rejected abstract expressionism and its focus on the hermeneutic and psychological interior in favor of art that depicted and often celebrated material consumer culture, advertising, and iconography of the mass production age. The early works of David Hockney and the works of Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi were considered seminal examples in the movement. Meanwhile in the downtown scene in New York's East Village 10th Street galleries artists were formulating an American version of pop art. Claes Oldenburg had his storefront, and the Green Gallery on 57th Street began to show the works of Tom Wesselmann and James Rosenquist. Later Leo Castelli exhibited the works of other American artists, including those of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein for most of their careers. There is a connection between the radical works of Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, the rebellious Dadaists with a sense of humor, and pop artists like Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, and Roy Lichtenstein, whose paintings reproduce the look of Benday dots, a technique used in commercial reproduction."

Goo Goo Dolls Autographed Drum Head
We have a wonderful Remo 14" Drum Head, which has been autographed by the Goo Goo Dolls (all three of the current members as well as the original drummer: John Rzeznik, Robby Takac, Mike Malinin and George Tutuska).
The Goo Goo Dolls initially consisted of John Rzeznik (vocals, guitar), Robby Takac (vocals, bass guitar) and George Tutuska (drums). While Takac and Tutuska had been long-time friends in school, Rzeznik was playing in the band The Beaumonts, with Takac’s cousin. The three founded the band under the name Sex Maggots. However, when a club owner booked the band, he requested they change the name, as the local newspaper could not print their current name. The trio picked the current name out of a True Detective newspaper ad for a toy called a Goo Goo Doll. With Takac as their lead singer, the band released their first album, Goo Goo Dolls in 1986 on Mercenary Records, but was picked up in 1987 by Celluloid Records, a larger record company. The band released its second album, Jed, in 1989 after moving to Los Angeles.
In 2006, the Goo Goo Dolls marked their 20th anniversary with their new album Let Love In, which included the studio recording of "Give a Little Bit" as well as other top 10 radio singles "Better Days," "Stay With You," and "Let Love In". With the their third consecutive single ("Let Love In") from the album, the Goo Goo Dolls hit a record 12 Top 10 hits in Adult Top 40 history, beating Matchbox Twenty and Sheryl Crow. The Goo Goo Dolls plan to release another single from Let Love In, "Without You Here", as well as a song from this July's Transformers movie called "Before It's Too Late", originally titled "Fiction". To promote the new single, the Goo Goo Dolls performed "Before It's Too Late" at both The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on June 8, 2007, and again at The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on June 22, 2007. In July 2007 the band discussed their career as a whole and gave a live performance on A&E's Private Sessions. Rzeznik has stated that after the release of "Without You Here" and their summer tour with Lifehouse and Colbie Caillat, the band will return to the studio to begin work on their next album, their ninth overall. April 13, 1996 and July 4, 2004 were proclaimed "Goo Goo Dolls Day" in their hometown of Buffalo, New York.
Also, according to Robby Takac, the band will release a greatest hits album entitled Goo Goo Dolls: Greatest Hits Volume 1 this coming fall, and have plans to release a "career retrospective collection" in the near future.

Bruce Springsteen Autographed Photo Prsentation
Here is a beautiful presentation ready to be mounted on your wall. Photographed hand-autographed by Bruce Springsteen, matted and framed. The frame is matted with an 11x18 mat and contains an 8x10 photograph.
"Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss", is an American singer-songwriter. He records and tours with the E Street Band. Springsteen is widely known for his brand of heartland rock infused with pop hooks, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered on his native New Jersey.
Springsteen's recordings have tended to alternate between commercially accessible rock albums and somber folk-oriented works. Much of his status stems from the concerts and marathon shows in which he and the E Street Band perform intense ballads, rousing anthems, and party rock and roll songs, amongst which he intersperses whimsical or deeply emotional stories."

Manfred Mann Autographed Drumstick
Here is a rare item for you. An autographed drumstick by sixties rocker/bluesman Manfred Mann.
After a further self-penned hit ("Hubble Bubble (Toil And Trouble)") the band struck gold with "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", a cover of a minor hit earlier that year by the Exciters. The track, which showcased Jones' powerful singing, reached the top of both the UK and US charts (The Exciters version had only charted #78 in the US). During 1965 the group continued to have hits with both self-penned and cover material, their sound increasingly moving away from the blues-based music of their early years to a highly successful pop-soul hybrid. Notably the group began to have success with interpretations of Bob Dylan songs, including "With God on Our Side" as a track on a best-selling EP. They also reached No.2 in the UK with the controversial "If You Gotta Go, Go Now", which was banned or edited by a number of TV and radio stations.

8 Inch Drum Head Autographed by Bobby Goldsboro
Here we have an 8 Inch Drum Head Autographed by Bobby Goldsboro.
Bobby Goldsboro has had a wonderful careet in music, and it goes back even further than many people know. He started out as a guitarist with Rob Orbison. He traveled with Orbison and even toured with The Beatles. Later in his new careet as a single, he opened for the Rolling Stones, but soon became a super-star in his own right. He produced 16 top-forty hits including See the Funny Little Clown, Honey, and Watching Scotty Grow.
"Honey" was a Number One hit in 1968 in the Billboard Hot 100. The single reached Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart, selling in excess of one million copies. In Australia, "Honey" made it to No.1, rated No.10 for 1968 and is ranked at No.25 on the Oz Net Music Chart's Top 100 for the 1960s. It also reached Number 1 on the Country charts and also became his first country hit. It was also the beginning of his hits becoming more successful on the country charts than on the pop charts by this time. He also wrote some of his hits as well, one in particular, With Pen In Hand, was recorded by several artists, the biggest of which was a pop version by Vicki Carr that was a Top 40 pop hit in 1969 and country singer Johnny Darrell who took his version to number 3 on the country charts a year earlier in 1968. Bobby would also record his own version of the song in 1972 but it only graced the lower regions of the pop charts. In the 1970s he had more hits, including "Watching Scotty Grow,"(a country Top 10 and nearly made the Top 10 on the pop charts peaking at #11 in 1971), "Summer (The First Time)," "Hello Summertime," "Butterfly for Bucky," and "Me and the Elephants." "Summer (The First Time)" would also become his last major pop hit in 1973. From 1973 to 1975, he hosted the syndicated television variety series The Bobby Goldsboro Show.

Members signed with black marker around the edge. This would make a great display piece for the true Entrain fan and memorabilia collector.
This head was replaced some time late last fall or winter (2006) and was signed by the band during a show. The autographs read Tom Major, "Keep on Rockin!!" L. B. (Lenny Bradford), "Con Ritmo" Sam (Holmstock), Alex Howland, "All the Best!" Marty Walsh and Elan.
Since some people describe Entrains as "Percussion, Percussion, Percussion" you can understand the weary look of the drum head itself. Its musical days are over, but not its entertaining days.

One finger everyone's hand would represent Tony Bennett. This Autograph and Photograph of Tony Bennett Presentation is like Tony . . . just so cool. The frame is matted with an 11x18 mat and contains an 8x10 photograph.
"Tony Bennett (born Anthony Dominick Benedetto; August 3, 1926) is an American singer of popular music, standards, show tunes, and jazz.
Raised in New York City, Bennett began singing at an early age. He fought in the final stages of World War II as an infantryman with the U.S. Army in the European Theatre. Afterwards, he developed his singing technique, signed with Columbia Records, and had his first number one popular song with "Because of You" in 1951. Several top hits such as "Rags to Riches" followed in the early 1950s. Bennett then further refined his approach to encompass jazz singing. He reached an artistic peak in the late 1950s with albums such as The Beat of My Heart and Basie Swings, Bennett Sings. In 1962, Bennett recorded his signature song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". His career and his personal life then suffered an extended downturn during the height of the rock music era.
Bennett staged a remarkable comeback in the late 1980s and 1990s, putting out gold record albums again and expanding his audience to the MTV Generation while keeping his musical style intact. He remains a popular and critically praised recording artist and concert performer in the 2000s. Bennett has won fifteen Grammy Awards, two Emmy Awards, been named an NEA Jazz Master and a Kennedy Center Honoree. He has sold over 50 million records worldwide. Bennett is also a serious and accomplished painter, creating works under the name Benedetto that are on permanent public display in several institutions."

My Favorite Things: John Coltrane CD - Autographed by Drummer Elvin Jones
"This 1960 recording was a landmark album in John Coltrane's career, the first to introduce his quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner and drummer Elvin Jones and the first release on which he played soprano saxophone. It also provided him with a signature hit, as his new group conception came together wonderfully on the title track. It's an extended modal reworking in 6/4 time that brought the hypnotic pulsating quality of Indian music into jazz for the first time, with Coltrane's soprano wailing over the oscillating piano chords and pulsing drums. The unusual up-tempo version of Gershwin's "Summertime" is a heated example of Coltrane's "sheets of sound" approach to conventional changes, while "But Not for Me" receives a radical harmonic makeover. This is an excellent introduction to Coltrane's work."
--Stuart Broomer
The previous owner tells how he obtained the autograph of the late Elvin Jones, "I was Elvin Jones' roadie for one evening during a Vancouver Jazz Festival one year. He was gracious enough to sign my copy of this CD."
You may see one of Elvin's drum sets at Donn Bennett Drum Studios . In addition you might like to read the article Dreams, Drums, and Memories: The Little Drum Museum.

Static-X Autographed Drum Head
Static-X was formed in 1994 from the ashes of Wayne Static and Ken Jay’s former band, Deep Blue Dream. Wayne and Ken originally met at the Chicago record store where Jay worked, and were introduced to one another by Smashing Pumpkins vocalist Billy Corgan (the band also shared a rehearsal space with Smashing Pumpkins for a time). Once Deep Blue Dream folded, Static and Jay moved to Los Angeles to search for new band members. There, they met bassist Tony Campos and guitarist Koichi Fukuda, completing the band’s original lineup. Static-X signed with Warner Bros. Records in early 1998, and released their debut album, Wisconsin Death Trip, on March 23, 1999 and soon after, they released their first single "Push It", followed by "I'm With Stupid" and "Bled For Days" in 2000. Static-X toured strictly in support of the album and twice performed on Ozzfest. In the following year the little-known EP, The Death Trip Continues, was released. In 2001, Wisconsin Death Trip went platinum and is, to date, Static-X’s only album to reach this success. The band has contributed numerous tracks from this album to video game soundtracks and for other promotional applications. The song "Otsegolation" was used in the PlayStation video game, Omega Boost, where it is featured in the main menu and the final boss sequence; and the song "Push It" to the games "Street Skater 2" and "Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes" both also for the Playstation game console. An instrumental of "Love Dump" was used as the entrance music for Kronik in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). This version was later used by Steven Richards.

Liverpool Taxi Cartop Sign
Put this Beattle Era Liverpool Taxi Sign on your car and pretend you're in Liverpool when The Beatles were playing at The Cavern Club. Or put the sign on your bookshelf or coffee table and tell your friends you swiped it during a drunken spree as a teenager traveling around dancing to the music of boys from the Mersy. Put a light inside and the amber glass still glows. With this sign on your car roof, you might even make a few extra dollars . . . or meet some new friends. This is truly a collectable piece of rock and roll history and memorabilia.
The taxi unit stands about six inches high in the front and tapers back to about an eighth of an inch in the back. It's a foot wide and nearly sixteen inches long. There are some rust spots showing its age, but it remains in its original condition. This is a great conversation piece.

This drum head took a beating at the hands of the Supersuckers own Scottzilla Churilla. All the guys in the band commemorated the event by signing the bruised and battered drum head. It would be a swell addition to any rock and roll memorabilia collection.
