Description
I obtained this signed INXS Listen Like Thieves LP from Michael probably in the early 90's at the recording studios in Sydney Australia, please continue reading for more information about my collection.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this......Since 1989 I have been meeting celebrities to collect their autograph and have my photo taken with them. To date I have had my photo taken with over 2000 celebrities.
In 1989 I met INXS; that meeting changed my life forever. In January 1990 I found out that INXS were recording their X album at Rhinoceros Recording Studios in Sydney, I ended up spending five months at the studios. I was only sixteen at the time and had dreams of becoming a photographer; Michael Hutchence who was the lead singer of INXS took me under his wing and helped me become a photographer.
In 2005 my first book; Australian Legends was released and sold 10,000 copies in Australia. For eight years I met, interviewed & photographed 80 Australian Legends, from Sir Donald Bradman to Dame Joan Sutherland I had the unique experience of spending time with these great Australians. In 2007/2008 my second book; Richard & Famous was released worldwide, it’s about my life from 1989 – 2007 meeting and photographing celebrities. From Nelson Mandela and Michael Jackson to the Dalai Lama & Audrey Hepburn I have met, obtained their autograph & had my photo taken with them. In 2007 I sold 1/3 of my autograph collection at Bonhams & Goodman in Melbourne Australia. This is a quote from the catalogue:
