stringer Report post Posted December 10, 2007 A gold record for "Go all the way", given to Capitol Record's Cleveland office, bought on E-bay. An incredible vibe for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Report post Posted December 10, 2007 I've got no stuff (not a stuff guy)..But I've got 5 albums, from the best band in history, fronted by the best song writer in rock history..... having those 5 albums is pretty cool. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollies65 Report post Posted December 10, 2007 I don't collect gold records or photo's that much...I try to get actual vintage lyrics...hand signed contracts,AFTRA's etc. I have come across virtually nothing on the Raspberries or Choir.Someone has them...and they ain't sellin.

AnniekNY Report post Posted December 10, 2007 this is really hard but I think my favorite is the mounted 8 X 10 1970's photograph of Eric playing piano that Gene Taylor gave me from his collection at the very first reunion show at HOB in Cleveland. Eric signed it for me at the meet and greet. It was such a dream come true. Bonus: in the picture, his shirt is open. And his hair is awesome. Vintage my ass.

MJ Report post Posted December 10, 2007 Lew - shouldn't you throw AnnieNY off the board for using the word "mounted" in the same sentence with Eric's name OMG! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Kiwi Connection Report post Posted December 10, 2007 I don't have anything "vintage", but without a doubt my "Limited Edition" has to be my most treasured possession, not only because of what it is, but because it was given to me personally by Eric and Jim at WAB. Also the photo of Muzza and I with Eric. Something I never, even in my wildest dreams thought would ever happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lew Bundles Report post Posted December 10, 2007 She also used the word "hard" in the post, therefore, making it 3 unacceptable terms, which is a tri---fecta, which is not a punishable offense... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MJ Report post Posted December 10, 2007 Marv that is a VERY difficult feat for a man keeping his hair awesome - perhaps we need to give a special award for that. I won't tell you what my friend called Eric's hair in the Fresh promo lmao..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
