Artist: Ginger Baker’s Airforce / Humble Pie

 

Format: This is a signed and stunning two pages of autographs including sets of signatures for the band ‘Ginger Bakers Airforce’. The band formed in late 1969 upon the disbandment of Blind Faith, and the original lineup consisted of Ginger Baker on drums, Steve Winwood on organ and vocals, Ric Grech on violin and bass, Jeanette Jacobs on vocals, Denny Laine on guitar and vocals, Phil Seamen on drums, Alan White on drums, Chris Wood on tenor sax and flute, Graham Bond on alto sax, Harold McNair on tenor sax and flute, and Remi Kabaka on percussion. Their first live shows were at Birmingham Town Hall in 1969 and the Royal Albert Hall, in 1970. The band released two albums, both in 1970: Ginger Baker's Air Force and Ginger Baker's Air Force 2. The second album involved different personnel from the first, with Ginger Baker and Graham Bond being the primary constants between albums.

The signatures included on this changing band line up are spread across two pages and include:

·        Ginger Baker: drums

·        Denny Laine: guitar, vocals

·        Harold McNair: tenor sax and flute

·        Graham Bond: alto sax

·        Steve Winwood: organ and vocals

·        Diane Stewart: vocals and percussion

·        Rocky Dzidzornu: percussion

The signatures are dated from 1970 and include a concert sticker advertising the gig in Germany and attached to the second page (see photo’s). All have signed in a medium blue fine felt-style pen, with Ginger Baker signing in fine dark blue biro style pen. I am grading the signatures at 7/10 for clarity and partial ink loss in the felt pen at the time of signing.

Please note on the reverse of the first page of Ginger Baker Airforce signatures, there are further signatures from the band ‘Humble Pie,’ with three signatures including Steve Marriott clearly visible. All have signed in a medium blue fine felt-style pen, and I am grading the signatures at 7/10 for clarity and partial ink loss in the felt pen at the time of signing.
