##MUSICBQ0030 - 1940s Opera News Magazine

Vintage 8 3/4 - 10" tall (depending on which issue) 1940s Opera News magazine. They show some typical aging but are in nice shape. These are uncommon and often go for $5 each and up on Ebay. Some go for a lot more depending on who is on the cover. We have several different ones and don't know one from another. No special requests please. You may get the real high dollar one. Hard to tell. Opera News was founded in 1936 by the Metropolitan Opera Guild with Mrs. John DeWitt (Mary Ellis Peltz) serving as the publication's first editor. It was initially intended to be a "useful, instructive, and factual weekly newspaper of Opera in New York". Its first issue was published on 7 December 1936 and consisted of only one folded broadsheet.

##MUSICGD2000 - Grateful Dead Car Window Tour Sticker/Decal - Bear and Skeleton on the Yellow Brick Road

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 4 1/2" diameter Grateful Dead sticker/decal. These are high quality art decals that were made for car windows. I peeled the cover off for the picture. They are in mint condition and can still be used. This one is from around the late 1980s and has an artist signature Jim (can't read the last name). It features a bear with a rose holding hands with a skeleton walking up the yellow brick road towards Oz.

These Grateful Dead stickers/decals are old tour merchandise. I found them wrapped in plastic in boxes in master cases. They came from a distributor who sold them to tour vendors. The condition is pristine and they still will work as a car decal or window/mirror sticker. We found them packed away in storage boxes dated 1992 (many are older than that) and 1995 (year Jerry Garcia died). They are high quality artist renderings of Grateful Dead themes. Back in the day, the Dead did not monitor copyrights and that sort of thing, and in fact, at one point encouraged artists to do designs. The LA times explained it well "The Grateful Dead was famously lax in enforcing it’s intellectual property rights and trademarks, allowing fans to create their own designs using the band’s expansive iconography”. Since there was no serious monitoring or much concern back then, a lot of up and coming artists got involved in designing them. This is how some of them got their starts. Some of the sticker artists who designed these stickers went on to produce official licensed works for the Grateful Dead and other famous groups. These stickers include some by now famous designers including David Opie, and others. These 1995 and older stickers are very hard to find anymore.

##MUSICBP0444 - 1985 Amy Grant Laminated Cloth Backstage Pass from the 1985 "Unguarded Encore" Tour

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image of both sides of the pass. Vintage 4 1/4" tall Amy Grant laminated cloth OTTO backstage pass from the "Unguarded Encore" 1985 tour. This is an unusual type of pass that was made by OTTO. The idea was to take a cloth pass and laminate it to make it pretty much impossible to copy and sneak into a concert.

Amy Grant is called "The Queen of Christian Pop". She is the best selling contemporary Christian music singer of all times with over 30 million albums sold. She has won 6 Grammy Awards, 25 Dove Awards, and had the first Christian album to ever breakthrough into the mainstream and hit platinum. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
