|  | Spin me back down the years - Print Memorabillia
« Thread Started on Apr 9, 2010, 10:24am » | |
I thought I add some of the pieces of memorabillia that I have collected over the years in the hope of jump-starting a few other contributions from you good folk out there.
This first thread focuses on printed memorabillia.
First off a bit of a rarity, the tour programme from Tull's excursion to the land of the rising sun in 1972! This is the front cover.
I'll add all the following pages over the next day or so. Excuse the hasty snaps, these like all the other stuff I'll be adding from my collection will be tidied up ain time and I'll take some detailed shots and add them if anyone wants them.
This isn't my personal thread, so please don't hold back, feel free to add your own stuff as well.

Finally to round this one off the back cover of the 1972 Japanese Tull 'Thick as a brick' tour programme
![[image]](http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l455/QuizzKid08/Tull%20Memorabillia/DSC_0432.jpg "[image]")
The programme is not your standard A4 size, it is much larger.

Good stuff, Pat, and thanks for starting this thread. It's something I have been thinkng about doing myself, since people do seem to like it, and all of us I am sure have great items to share.
As soon as I connect that scanner Derek sent me, I'll be ready to put some of my things up here as well!

'To be the play' by Brian Meyers.
Not the most accessible of reads, but worth getting if you're an avid Tullophile.
I 'won' mine in a bit of a bidding war at a UK Tull convention auction some years ago. Luckily it was in rather good nick and worth the cash.
Over the years I've managed to get quite an assortment of autographs in it from the band and band associates spanning the 40+ years that I've been listening to and seeing the band.
I've included one of the autographed pages below.

One of my oldest original posters. I have posted this eleswhere before but I thought I'd share it again for anyone who may not have seen it.
An old work colleague played in one of the supporting bands on this poster and he passed it onto me. He picked it up directly from the printers, the sides had still not been trimmed off and they remain that way.
Sadly it is slowly fading over time and sits in a darkened storeroom along with most of my stuff. i keep promisimng myself i'll get it over to a conservator for some preventative treatment.

I bought my original copy from an add I saw in Rolling Stone. Not sure if I paid $5 or $15.
But I lent the book to a friend of mine who I've lost touch with....
Bastard!

What were the chances of him putting it up for auction at a UK convention?

Not quite printed memorabillia, but it probably sits here best.
The Tull "fish-o-fax".
Offered as one of the prizes in the Rock Island programme competition. It came with two signed inserts, one from Ian, the other from the rest of the band.

Holly,
The memorabillia really doesn't add up to much, what you have is an honest opinon and love of Tull, that's all you need really; all this sort of stuff is just a means of gathering dust as my Mum used to say.
[having said that I'm not getting rid of it  ]

Thanks, that's so thoughtful!
I have my concert stubs, two are signed, my signed sock (LOL), my signed backstage pass, and originally I had some random nonsense that I saved from my visit backstage. A beer bottle that was given to me(no, I didn't drink it) and like a frickin sugar packet from the coffee...I'm weird...
And you all remember how I take terrible care of my stuff? Like even my favorite CDs...it isn't that I don't love the stuff, and it isn't that I don't appreciate the stuff, I am just a doofus...my best friend found my IA signed backstage pass crumbled up recently in this box of stuff I have and she's like, "Holly, ummm, shouldn't you put this in something, like a frame or book or something so it doesn't get all ruined?" haha...I need a babysitter...I also have a bunch of records in my upstairs that my father gave me. I don't have a record player though so that's really just for kicks or whatever I guess. I did have a record player one that was actually made recently (weird that they still make them!) given to me by my father too. I ruined it though. Yep. I just like threw it when we moved. Or else I could put the record player in my car and drive around while listening to Tull records...my father talked about the days where there were car record players too!! I think all you guys should tell Kenneth he needs to get me a new car stereo stat...before the big vein in my head pops....
