As a tie in to the recent Rock decades programs on BBC 4, Danny Baker did a little 10 minute tour of some of the musical 'bits and pieces' from his life as a music journalist, television & radio presenter and record shop employee.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/0/26048898I've never been a big one for keeping memorabilia and most of what I had accumulated, I threw away many years back (pre Ebay days, I probably could've made a good few quid, if I'd kept it all; I found a photo of myself from about 1982 with my walls covered in flyers and promo stuff). I did have cause to go through my one remaining box of stuff recently, I've leant a few bits and bobs to a writer who's doing a book on independent music in the 80s and scanned a few photos for a guy who's making a film about the era. Most of the stuff I've kept is things friends from back in the day were involved in.
Anyway, the point of this thread:
What interesting music related memorabilia do you have? If you are able to scan anything, it would no doubt improve the thread.
Here's my favourite thing from my one remaining box. It's a piece of paper that was made into a paper plane and thrown into the audience by The Legendary Stardust Cowboy at a gig at Dingwall's in the mid '80s. Unfolded, it reveals the Stardust Cowboys PO Box address and on the other side he has drawn a scene of a flying saucer above a desert scene.
