Description
Original 1979 pressing of Gillan Band's Mr Universe album, which I believe makes it the first pressing.
Must be noted that I do not have provenance for these autographs. I bought this from a record dealer who could not verify their authenticity as he deals in bulk lots. However, after doing some research, and due to the nature of the signatures, I am pretty convinced these are authentic, but buyers need to make up their own minds when bidding as this is my own opinion only.
I have included an image of a signed verified photograph of the band for comparison which I found in my online search (not included in the auction obviously)
Signatures present on front:
IAN GILLAN
COLIN TOWNS
Signatures present on back:
MIKE UNDERWOOD
JOHN MCCOY
not present: Bernice Torme
Written in mix of ballpoint, gold pencil and blue marker.
All members signatures are a near exact match to the ones I found. Originally I wasn't too sure about Ian Gillan's signature, as the ones I found had an elongated i that looks more like an L when signing Ian, however his signature is somewhat inconsistent over the years, some resembling more of a quick scrawl. This is likely an earlier signature thereby possibly explaining the fuller signature. The handwriting and speed at which it is written, also seem to indicate a live signature of Gillan's. But again, this is my own conclusion, so please research into it yourself.
Record in good playable condition.
