HAWKWIND-ROBERT CALVERT-VERY RARE COPY OF QUEENS HALL.

	£		32
	$		43

HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING A LOOK AT THIS AUCTION FOR A VERY SPECIAL COPY OF "ROBERT CALVERTS LIVE AT THE QUEEN ELIZABETH HALLS" LP, CONCERT PROGRAMME AND A COMPLETE TICKET FROM THE MEMORIAL CONCERT.

BEFORE I EXPLAIN WHAT MAKES IT A BIT SPECIAL, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING :-

AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, ROBERT DIED ON THE 14th OF AUGUST 1988, 20 YEARS AGO.

ON SUNDAY 28th SEPTEMBER 2008 THERE WAS A "ROBERT CALVERT MEMORIAL CONCERT" HELD AT THE "KINGS HALL" IN HERNE BAY, KENT.

ALL THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS CONCERT, WHICH WAS A GREAT SUCCESS, HAVE GONE TO ROBERTS WIFE JILL AND THE CALVERT FAMILY.

I HAD THE IDEA OF DONATING THIS LP FOR THE AUCTION ON THE DAY BUT THEN THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT RAISE A BIT MORE MONEY IF IT WAS SOLD THROUGH EBAY.

AGAIN, EVERY PENNY RAISED FROM THE SALE OF THIS LP WILL FIND IT'S WAY VIA NIK TURNER INTO THE HANDS OF JILL CALVERT AND THE FAMILY.

NOW FOR WHATS ON OFFER.

THE AUCTION IS FOR A SIGNED COPY OF ROBERTS LP "LIVE AT THE QUEEN ELIZABETH HALL", AN UNSED TICKET FROM THE MEMORIAL CONCERT AND THE CONCERT PROGRAMME.

THE LP WAS SIGNED ON THE DAY OF THE CONCERT BY ALL THE MUSICIANS THAT TOOK PART. I WILL LIST THEM BELOW :-

NIK TURNER + MESSAGE
ALAN DAVEY + MESSAGE
RON TREE + MESSAGE
JERRY RICHARDS + MESSAGE
HARVEY BAINBRIDGE + MESSAGE
TREV THOMS
COMMANDER JIM HAWKMAN (VON TRIPPEN HOFF)
STEVE POND + MESSAGE
DED FRED + MESSAGE
MARTIN GRIFFIN + MESSAGE
STEVE SWINDLES + MESSAGE
NAZAR ALIKHAN + MESSAGE

THERE IS ONE MORE SIGNATURE ON THE FRONT, BUT I CAN'T REMMEMBER WHO THIS WAS BECAUSE IT WAS SIGNED AFTER THE GIG AFTER A FEW BEERS AND AS YOU CAN SEE WHEN RON TREE SIGNED IT HE DONE A COUPLE OF DOODLES AND THE SIGNATURE UNDERNEATH GOT WELL SMUDGED. I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ADRIAN SHAW.

A FEW OF THE OTHER SIGNATURES ARE ALSO A BIT SMUDGED BECAUSE WE DIDN'T LET THE PEN DRY. IT WAS ALL A BIT HECTIC AS YOU CAN PROBABLY IMAGINE.

THIS IS AS YOU ARE PROBABLY AWARE IS A ONE OFF ITEM, THERE IS NOT ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT IN THE WORLD, SO PLEASE DIG DEEP BECAUSE AS I SAID IT IS BEING AUCTIONED FOR A VERY GOOD CAUSE.

AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED A CONCERT PROGRAMME FROM THE DAY AND AN UNUSED TICKET. THERE WERE ONLY 200 PROGRAMMES PRINTED I THINK, SO THIS IN ITSELF IS VERY COLLECTABLE.

THE LP, ITSELF, IS COMPLETE AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED AND IS WELL OK.

IT HAS THE POSTER, INSERT SHEET, BADGE AND T SHIRT. THE T SHIRT HOWEVER IS IN A REAL POOR CONDITION. IT HAS BEEN COMPLETLY WORN OUT, IT IS REALLY FADED AND HAS HOLES UNDER THE ARMS. THE BADGE HAS ALSO BEEN WORN WITH THE SHIRT AND IS ALSO ONLY IN A POOR CONDITION. HEY BUT AT LEAST THIER THERE.

TO SUM UP THEN, THIS IS A VERY RARE PACKAGE, A ONE OFF, ALL IN GOOD ORDER APART FROM THE SHIRT AND BADGE AND PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT ALL THE MONEY RAISED GOES TO THE CALVERT FAMILY.
