Huge shoutout to my man for helping a brother out! Got this killer package in today, which contained within, my promotional copy of The Ramones "Swallow my Pride b/w Pinhead" 7" record that Don was able to help me get signed by Dave Moon himself! Dave Moon was the first and original Pinhead mascot, even being featured in the concert scenes of the movie Rock n Roll High School! Really rad dude that I am extremely happy to have his auto in my collection! Proudly displayed with my S*x Pistols master tape!
And thanks for the freebies Don! Stickers have already been put on the cars, and the art will be framed and hung.

For your consideration is this original The Meaty Buys Concert Flyer. Meaty Buys were a very early band from Bridgeport, on the south side of Chicago. Forming in 1979, half of their members were also in the The C*nts - sometimes Meaty Buys backed up The C**ts at shows. As far as I can tell, they released only one 7" during their career.

This lot comes with the flyer, but also comes with a ticket to get into the concert. Both pieces are extremely rare.

Out of the Jim Sotet estate, we are excited to show this one off! A true demo tape! This rare cassette tape has been the talks of heavy metal collectors all over the world for decades. This one was recorded and released by the band's, at the time, new manager, Mark Puma. Mark Puma took over as manager in 1978-1979 and quickly went to work recording the band and sending off to various record companies. There are different versions of the band's demo that existed. Who knows how many are left of any version.
I recorded this and uploaded it to YouTube so that everyone can access the amazing tunes. Just search "Mark Puma Presents twisted sister demo tape" it should come up.

This is an original Neil Young cassette tape titled "Everybody's Rockin'." It is a 2nd generation master cassette tape. Duplicated for sampling before mass production by 52nd Street Studio. The cassette is in excellent shape, both in terms of the case and the tape itself. The album was released in 1983.
This album saw Young create a Rockabilly band he called the Shocking Pinks, who after recording this album disbanded.
