Rarity: this is rare autographed album cover for ‘Suzanne Vega – Solitude Standing’, and beautifully signed by Suzanne on the right-hand corner of the front panel.
I came to secure these autographs via the world-renowned Omega Auctions this year, who carry out the highest due-diligence on the authenticity for any autographs put for sale by their auction house – a copy of the receipt listing this item will be included in the sale. I have purchased numerous auction lots from Omega throughout 2020/21, and this lot was provided by a Netherlands-based gig goer. I have purchased a number of his records, and most of the signings seemed to be in the Nijmegen district of the Netherlands, and Suzanne Vega did indeed play there on 12th November 1987, as part of three dates played in the Netherlands throughout 1987.
Artist: Suzanne Vega
Title: Solitude Standing
Barcode: 082839513616
Country of manufacture: At this historic time, marketed as made in ‘West Germany’, and then supplied into the Netherlands as a secondary market.
Release number: 395136-1
Label: A&M
Release date: 1st April 1987
Condition: all pictures will refer to the all-important signatures and images of the outer cover. I am not grading either the record or inner sleeve, as the reality is there is no intrinsic value in these parts, the value is all in the cover due to the rare signatures!
Outer cover: this is a single panel outer cover opening on the right-hand side, to house what is a single vinyl release. In grading the cover minus signatures, this is a really condition cover. The cover has a mild sheen on a thin stock card holding the vinyl, and certainly has minimal wear to corners, minimal creasing, no rubbing and no age yellowing to the sleeve. I am grading the cover as excellent minus (-) condition. This record has clearly experienced very minor handling and a really decent copy!
The signatures: Suzanne has signed this sleeve below her image on the right-hand lower corner using a medium-thickness felt pen, signing in black. I would grade the signature as in excellent condition or 8/10 for boldness, lack of fading, and only marked down due to very minimal smudging to the ‘Vega’ element of the signature. This is a beautiful album cover that will look simply amazing if framed!
Inner sleeve & records simply graded as ‘used’ and will be supplied as part of the listing to the winning bidder.
UK seller in stock for immediate despatch. International buyers should note that shipping such a valuable record will require full tracking and signatures using a service provider such as UPS, DHL, FedEx et all.
International and EU bidders should note that VAT charges may apply at the point of receipt of the destination country.
