Description
I'm thrilled to offer you the cherished inventory from Neat Stuff Enterprises, the legendary collectibles shop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that delighted toy and memorabilia fans for decades.
For over 35 years, my wife, Giovanna Del Buono, poured her passion into building a true collector’s paradise. Whether you hunted rare 1960s memorabilia (she won “Best of Philly” for it!), vintage toys, action figures, autographed treasures, or one-of-a-kind posters, Giovanna was there with a smile, expert advice, and an uncanny knack for finding exactly what you didn’t even know you needed.
The store was regularly featured in newspapers and even spotlighted on Don Pollec’s World on local television.
Now, after closing its doors, I’m honored to pass these treasures on to fellow enthusiasts through eBay.
Every piece comes straight from the shelves Giovanna curated with love.
Whether you’re a lifelong collector or just discovering the joy of “Neat Stuff,” I hope you’ll find something here that sparks excitement—and maybe a little nostalgia.
It’s truly a pleasure to share Giovanna’s legacy with you.
Rare Autographed Sparks "Angst In My Pants" Vinyl LP - Signed by BOTH Ron Mael & Russell Mael - Authentic!
Item Specifics / Description:
For the dedicated Sparks collector: an original 1982 Atlantic Records pressing of Sparks - Angst In My Pants (Catalog # SD 19347), personally autographed on the front cover by both Ron Mael and Russell Mael!
This is the iconic album featuring the legendary cover photo of the Mael brothers in full wedding regalia—Ron in a sparkling sequined groom suit and Russell as the bride in a lace gown with veil, holding a bouquet of yellow flowers. It's one of Sparks' most visually striking and sought-after sleeves from their early '80s era, produced by Reinhold Mack (Queen's engineer) and marking their breakthrough with the US hit single "I Predict" (their first Billboard Hot 100 entry at #60).
Autographs:
- Ron Mael signed in bold, flowing blue pen: "Ron" with a distinctive underline flourish (clearly visible in the lower left area of the cover).
- Russell Mael signed in elegant script: "Russell" with a long, sweeping underline (positioned over the bride's gown area on the right side).
These signatures are known examples of the Mael brothers' autographs—Ron’s more compact and Russell’s more elaborate. No dedication or personalization; just clean band signatures. This is a rare dual-signed copy—Sparks autographs from this period aren't commonly encountered, especially on original pressings of Angst In My Pants.
Overall: A beautiful display piece for any Sparks superfan or collector of new wave/synth-pop autographed vinyl. The signatures pop dramatically against the bold red and sequined imagery!This 1982 original is far scarcer signed than modern reissues (like the red vinyl editions). Perfect addition to a complete Sparks collection alongside classics like Kimono My House, No. 1 in Heaven, or later works.
Shipping: Carefully packed in a sturdy mailer with cardboard stiffeners.
Don't miss this chance to own a piece of Sparks history signed by the Mael brothers themselves!
