stringer Posted December 10, 2007 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 10, 2007 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted December 10, 2007 Share 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.

TheScentLady Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 The clipping Mellie was kind enough to send from Tiger Beat where I was a finalist in a "Name the next Raspberries album" contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 All my memorabilia from the original Raspberries Fan Club in 1972 (still in the original packing envelope) - which the band kindly autographed in LA - 35 years later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Bundles Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 How about the "Scratch and Sniff" sticker that you stole from Dianed's house when you stayed there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnniekNY Posted December 10, 2007 Share 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 Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kiwi Connection Posted December 10, 2007 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Bundles Posted December 10, 2007 Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share 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..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvin Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I need to get the guys to autograph my K-Tel "Believe In Music" album from 1972. This was where I first heard / saw mention of Raspberries and "Go All the Way." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
