The November 6 auction contains another copy, shown here, which is estimated at $80,000-$120,000. In May 2021, a 1953 Hank Williams poster touting an Ohio show that he would not live to play sold for $150,000 and a new world auction record for any original concert poster. (It’s also graded: CGC Near Mint+ 9.6, in better shape than just about anything 55 years old.) And here, too, is the immortal advertisement for what proved to be the Hank Williams concert that never happened. And the beloved Family Dog poster that barked about the Dead’s September 1966 show, played just two weeks after the band inked its deal with Warner Bros. That’s because collectors will find a newly discovered example of the coveted cardboard featuring the Fab Four making their bow at New York’s Shea Stadium. “Everyone’s going to be watching Saturday’s auction like the Kentucky Derby,” says Pete Howard, Heritage Auctions’ Director of Concert Posters. It will be a race to the top. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers. 6, Heritage Auctions hosts its latest Music Memorabilia & Concert Posters Signature® Auction, easily the most star-studded event in the auction house’s history, in large part because of the trio of history-makers being offered among the nearly 120 posters available. This weekend, for the first time, the trio of immortals go head-to-head-to-head in a concert-poster auction for the ages. Some friends at school told me about BRMB which came in in the daytime, and I can remember listening to Tony Butler doing his hyperactive sport show, but we had to wait until 1980 for good reception of commercial radio.Exceptionally scarce original concert posters for The Beatles, the Grateful Dead and Hank Williams – examples of which have held the world auction record for the category during the last two years – have all been consigned to a November 6 auction in Dallas.ĭALLAS - During the last two years, The Beatles, Hank Williams and the Grateful Dead have each held the distinction of being the subjects of some of the world’s most expensive concert posters. I also listened a bit to Luxembourg, and remember their news intro "Compiled from News Agencies Around the World" which in school became "Compiled from the Newsagents Around the Corner".

Noel Edmonds did breakfast, and on Saturdays we had "And now it's time for Playground Postbag.with Keith Chegwin!" On Sundays there was the Top Twenty with Tom Browne, and afterwards a complete gear change to either Sing Something Simple or, I think, Semprini Serenade (remember that? "Old ones, new ones, loved ones, neglected ones.") I only really tuned into Radio One when I was about thirteen or so. (And yes, John Turner is still there, now doing breakfast.) Then we moved to Bristol and I discovered Radio Bristol, which I listened to because it was like nothing we had had in South Wales.

When Swansea Sound started, I tried to tune our HMV Transistor Stereogram into it with no success (we lived near Newport). Terry Wogan was on in the afternoon with "Fight the Flab". I vividly remember "What's the recipe today, Jim?" and then when he changed to Radio 2 only, being able to hear the edit in the jingle where "One" become "Two". I grew up with the very last years of the Light Programme, and then Radio 2 which my mum listened to. My first real memory is of Radio Caroline North, which I heard in a fish and chip shop.
NAUGHTY STEREOGRAM FREE
I've often wondered what Spanish radio was like around that period with Franco still being about, was it heavilly restricted or were they free to play what they wanted to?
NAUGHTY STEREOGRAM TV
The fisrt FM station I heard was Armed Forces Radio and TV Service, Rota, Cádiz, Spain, on 96.6 Mhz with shows like American Top 40, with Casey Kasem, and that was in 1975 when I discovered my radio ( a German Nordmende receiver) had the FM band and that was the only radio station there was on the FM band. I still remember the name of the Show : "Música texto y pretesto". There was a musical show on COPE Jerez, from 5 to 8 pm, Monday to Friday and it was the first thing I used to do after school, listening to it. Both on Medium Wave, waiting for hearing more about ABBA. Since then, I started listening to Radio Jerez and COPE Jerez daily. I remember so well the day after ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, when my fav radio station talked about it and played the Spanish entry.
