Contemporary red leatherette photograph album. Covers soiled front cover detached minor edge wear. One leaf detached minor wear to photographs album pages toned chipped and somewhat brittle. Very good. A fantastic personal photographic record of early rock and roll and country music stars from 1955 compiled by a woman named "Ann" who traveled to document her musical interests. Many of the photographs are non- professional and were likely taken by Ann or a friend or family member. Several of the professional pictures of country music artists - including Eddy Arnold Faron Young Porter Wagoner and the Maddox Brothers and Rose - are signed by the stars themselves. <br> <br> Two locations can be identified from the pictures Uncle Roy's Beautiful Sunset Park in Jennersville Pennsylvania and Circle A Ranch in Deer Park New Jersey but a variety of small clubs auditoriums jamborees and honky tonks are depicted. The album features mounted photographs capturing notable musicians such as Hank Thompson several photos including one of their tour bus Shorty Long Hank Snow Kenny Roberts Clair "Tiny" Mickey Sally Starr Mickie Evans Tim Holt the Tune Dusters the Eckert Family and others. One original photograph shows Ray Meyers an accomplished steel guitar player despite being born without arms signing an autograph with his right foot. The musician photographs are interspersed with some family photographs. <br> <br> Most notable are the dozen photographs featuring Bill Haley & His Comets at the height of their fame. Their most famous song "Rock Around the Clock" which is credited by some for bringing rock and roll music to the mainstream was released the year before and then featured in and popularized by the release of the film THE BLACKBOARD JUNGLE in March 1955. Two of the Bill Haley photographs are signed though the compiler trimmed them a bit and a few of them feature Haley with various local women identified in the captions. <br> <br> Accompanying the album are twenty-one larger promotional photographs many of which are signed. These include Hank Snow color photo signed on verso; Hank Thompson and the Brazos Valley Boys signed by Snow in the image; another of Hank Snow by himself signed in the image; Faron Young signed in the image; Porter Wagoner Junior "Speedy" Haworth and Don Warden signed by all three in the image; Eddy Arnold signed in the image; Lash La Rue signed in the image; Jesse Rogers inscribed to "Ann" on verso; Maddox Bros. and Rose signed in bottom margin; the Eckert Family giant photographic postcard signed by all on verso; Rosie and Retta signed by Retta Maddox on verso; Gordon Terry "Champion Old- Time Fiddler" signed in the image; prolific singer-songwriter Jean Shepard with her signature on the verso; Lloyd Arnold inscribed on verso; Lloyd Arnold with his band the Rockin Drifters inscribed to "Ann" in the bottom margin; cowgirl TV hostess Sally Starr inscribed on the verso "To Ann Lovingly Sally Starr"; Don Reno & Red Smiley and the Tennessee Cut-Ups signed by the whole band on the verso; the Wilburn Brothers signed by both in the image; and a few unsigned photos including one featuring Jimmy Dean. There are also two souvenir programs laid in: a promotional program for Webb Pierce signed by him inside and a SOUVENIR PICTURE ALBUM GRAND OPRY with signatures by Kitty Wells and Lester Wilburn of the Tennessee Mountain Boys inside. <br> <br> A wonderful collection of early rock and roll and country music notables compiled by a fan in 1955 at the point when rock and roll was beginning to emerge in the popular culture. hardcover books

Hardcover. minimal shelfwear minor staining to ffep the only significant blemish; jacket spine has a few tiny puncture tears and some minor scuffing and there are a couple of itty-bitty nicks along the top of the front panel; a review copy with the original publisher's slip laid in. B&W photographs The book and lyrics no music of the Sondheim-Laurents "musical fable." Although roundly trounced by critics at the time of its Broadway opening in 1964 and consequently closing after just nine performances this work's reputation has endured and improved in recent years; it is now staged and/or revived with some regularity and is generally regarded as an influential modern classic. The original cast featured Angela Lansbury her first role in a stage musical James Frawley and Lee Remick. A so-called "Collectors' Edition" reprint was issued in 1976 and can be easily procured; but this the true first edition is quite scarce. . Random House hardcover books

1970146874N.p.: N.p. 1970. Archive of 288 vernacular color photographs of country music acts from the 1970s housed in a contemporary photo album with the subject of nearly every photograph identified by holograph ink captions. Occasional additional notations give a date range between 1972-1980 for the photographs with most being dated 1977-1979. <br/><br/>The photographs primarily consist of performers on stage indicating the photographer was near the stage with a strong sense of composition and timing. Photographs of performers casually posing for the camera indicate the photographer likely had backstage access for some of the performances. <br/><br/>Based on additional information in some of the handwritten captions the photographs were primarily taken at concerts or events in the Western New York region - Chautauqua Dunkirk Little Valley and Lakewood - all within an hour of each other as well as the nearby Erie County NY Fair and Expo and Pittsfield PA. Other locations include the New York State Fair and Pittsburgh PA. <br/><br/>Included are images of country music legends Johnny Cash Dolly Parton Loretta Lynn Conway Twitty Hank Snow June Carter Cash The Carter Family Minnie Pearl Tanya Tucker Tammy Wynette and Wanda Jackson.

Riley Buddy Alan Charlie Walker Peggy Sue Bill Anderson Kenny Price LeRoy Van Dyke Lynn Anderson Jay Lee Webb Jean Shepard and Kitty Wells. Finally the album contains images of smaller and possibly even regional acts some of which appear unknown to us presenting a broad survey of a transitional era in country music as rock soul and pop began to fuse with the more traditional country sound that had begun declining in popularity toward the end of the previous decade. <br/><br/>For more details please inquire. <br/><br/>Photographs variously sized primarily 3.5 x 5 inches but up to 7.5 x 9.75 inches.
