1971135437Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1971. Collection of three vintage black-and-white studio still photographs from the 1971 film. <br/><br/>Roger Vadim's followup to "Barbarella" 1956 may be the only sexploitation crime film ever released by a major studio and managed to break just about every cultural taboo in the book even during the uncertain days of the early 1970s. The story and especially the filmmaking style is a strange response to the sexual revolution in 1970 in which a high school full of randy teachers and students in an unnamed Midwestern town become involved in a series of murders. Vadim's attempt to update .".And God Created Woman" from the male perspective has become a cult film that would be sued out of existence today and a fascinating look at the "revolution" from a middle America perspective. <br/><br/>Based on Francis Pollini's 1968 novel. Ocean View High School's resident faculty hero football coach/guidance counselor "Tiger" McDrew Hudson at his greasiest is married and has a child but this doesn't keep him from seducing many of his female students and persuading the new substitute teacher Miss Smith Dickinson to deflower a troubled virgin. Girls start turning up at the school dead in various states of undress with cryptic notes pinned to intimate parts of their anatomy. The county sheriff Keenan Wynn is forced to defer to a state police investigator Savalas who starts nosing around the school. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches. About Fine condition. <br/><br/>Complete collation details available on request. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM] unknown books
1968125469London: EMI Records 1968. Original poster advertising the 1968 eponymous debut LP of the British Invasion band The Move. The poster depicts the band's guitarist Trevor Burton in a Dylanesque pose and on a Dylanesque motorcycle noting at the bottom the Regal Zonophone release IDs of both the mono LRZ1002 and stereo SLRZ1002 pressings of the album. An image we have never seen for a band whose ephemera and existing promotional material are exhaustively documented online. <br/><br/>The Move were so named because the five musicians in its charter lineup left existing Birmingham groups in order to form the band. Under the wing of manager Tony Secunda the group moved to London and crafted an explosive act heavily influenced by The Who. The difference between the two bands was that The Move favored poppier lighter subject material almost a rock version of The Zombies. <br/><br/>After this release The Move would continue to shift their lineup morphing into a band that was less popular but more interesting writing and recording songs with denser and more ambitious arrangements. This change in approach crystallized with the arrival of member Jeff Lynne with whom The Move's Roy Wood would later form The Electric Light Orchestra. The band's final two outings "Shazam" 1970 and the "Message from the Country" 1971 today hold cult status as classics. An important band that bridged the gap between late 1960s British Invasion pop and the progressive rock movement of the early 1970s. <br/><br/>15 x 20 inches folded twice presumably as issued. Very Good with chips at the lower corners and the upper corners neatly clipped. The Regal/EMI device at the bottom left is missing its lower left corner but still plainly recognizable.

197122826Hull: Hull University 1971. First Edition. Very good. Poster silk-screened in blue gold and red. Mild wear creasing. Some rubbing. Else bright and sound. Very good. <br/><br/>Original poster for an Afro Rock event at Hull University featuring one of the most important bands of the movement Assagai. Afro Rock which had its strongest incarnation in the UK in the late sixties and early seventies combined Western rock instrumentation with African and Afro-Cuban rhythms and percussion. Assagai featured emegrees from both South Africa and Nigeria as well a Ghana; the lineup included drummer Louis Moholo trumpeter/flautist Mongezi Feza alto saxophonist Dudu Pukwana tenor saxophonist Bizo Mngqikana guitarist/bassist Fred Coker their chief songwriter and Terri Quaye — the first professional female congaist in the UK. Assagai issued just two highly-reguarded albums both in 1971 on Vertigo Records one of the few if not the only all-black band signed to that legendary rock label and this poster dates from that peak. While they broke up shortly after this gig the members went on to long careers in various other jazz and prog groups. A striking poster from this significant but poorly documented group.

198722364EGarden City: Doubleday 1987. First Edition First Printing. Signed and inscribed by the author Phyllis Gates to her mother who is referenced in the first chapter ‘My Life Before Rock’. Inscribed: “To Mom Thanks for all your support! I love you Phyllis 4/24/87â€. Illustrated. Near fine copy with some minor handling in a very good dust jacket with some small chips and tears. Gates tells the story of her marriage to actor Rock Hudson whom she met in 1954 and married in November 1955 shortly after Hudson finished filming Giant. They separated a few years later in 1957 with their divorce being finalized in 1958. Rumors of Hudson’s publicly hidden homosexuality as well as the reports of Gates being a closeted lesbian circulated in the media primarily in journalist Robert Hoffer’s biography ‘The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson’ and in the gay and lesbian news magazine The Advocate. Gates 1925 - 2006 steadfastly and publicly maintained that her love of Hudson was real and denied that she was a lesbian. Rock Hudson 1925 - 1985 was the first major public figure to announce that he had AIDS. He is best remembered for his films Giant 1956 Pillow Talk 1959 Come September 1961 and on television including starring in McMillan & Wife with Susan Saint James and on Dynasty as the character Daniel Reece.

18607334Chicago: Cameron Amberg & Co. Printers; and Shober & Carqueville Lithographers 1860. Trade card 13 x 7.5 cm. printed both sides the verso in chromolithography depicting the interior of a dining car with tables set in anticipation of the passengers' meals. Text on the recto reads "These Dining and Restaurant Cars run on the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad between Chicago and Omaha are in all respects the most luxurious traveling conveniences on the American continent. A bottle of fine French wine is served for an additional fifteen cents with an Extra Fine Meal for which only seventy-five cents is charged. Passengers will bear in mind that these are not the commonly-called Hotel Cars with their attendant high prices and bed-room odors. Our Dining Cars are used for no other purpose. All meals on Overland Trains are served in them. A. Smith Sup't Dining Car Line." The company became the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad in 1866 the company changed names frequently. In the mid-1870s the company established its Chicago-Omaha route. As such this card likely dates between the mid-1860s and mid-1870s. The railroad became known for introducing the first "elegant" dining cars to passenger trains and the lithograph on this trade card by Shober & Carqueville Lithographers of Chicago exudes elegance indeed. No tears folds or bends; slight glue residue on back. Cameron, Amberg & Co., Printers; [and] Shober & Carqueville Lithographers unknown books
