Rush: 2112 performance contract, more...

CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE had a feature earlier this year celebrating a 50th anniversary:

The History Of Rush by Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson: The Early Years


...and Joe's Rock Pile has some Rush-related goodies currently up for auction. Be quick!



First-up is a package of promo & photo cards of Rush drummer & lyricist NEIL PEART in his pre-Rush days, keeping time for The Majority -- and wearing his necklace with a piece of Keith Moon's cymbal.


And incredibly, a very unique historical artefact -- an actual American Federation of Musician's union performance contract with RUSH for Valentine Day, 1976. Two shows for $1250 each, just before release of iconic 2112 album. 


Signed by Joe Recchia (the booking agent and "Joe" from this here "Joe's Rock Pile") and bandleader ALEX LIFESON


Comes with four mint unused tickets in all four colour variations (each show had different colour tickets, further sub-divided by student and non-student). Newspaper tear-sheet adverts and photos too.

Back In Biz!



It's been a very long time since the blog has been updated or records have been up for auctions and/or sales. I had a very bad patch of several months health concerns, lost a lot of weight and basically had a physical breakdown. Long story short, I'm back in the land o' the living and feeling healthier, certainly good enough to start listing again.

New auctions at eBay added just today...



Lot's of "Nuggets" -style material -- underground 60's garage band records, etc...



There will be more records listed next week, hopefully the week thereafter, and some other assorted rarities...



Also, news coming soon, there will be a retailer carrying some records in Kitchener very-very shortly...



Plus, new record shows coming ahead that I'm preparing for....

Stay tuned!

As always, check eBay for the user name bonecrusher86.
