£2,500.00
An autograph book that contains a complete set of Who autographs in blue ballpoint pen. Included and attached to the book is a hair clipping from both Pete Townshend and Keith Moon. The autographs were obtained at the In Crowd Club, Hackney, London on the 15th January 1966. The signatures come with a letter from the original recipient that reads:
‘My friend and I were going to a gig at The in Crowd, Mare Street, Hackney, London E8 on 15th January 1966 to see the Who. We got there early and while we were waiting outside the club someone mentioned to us that all of The Who were in a pub just along the road so we went along to see for ourselves. Sure enough they were inside and it was empty of people. We got chatting to them & I asked if we could have some of their hair. Keith Moon & Pete Townshend were up for it so I asked the barman if he had any scissors. As luck would have it, he did & he let me borrow them. I stood on a chair to cut Pete’s hair & he asked me not to take too much off. My friend then cut some of Keith’s hair. We got all their signatures while we were there and then later we split the hair cuttings between my friend and myself and wrapped them in tissue until we got home. We did lose a few strands along the way. I’ve kept what is left of the hair in the autograph book since that day.’.
When closed the book measures 14.25cm x 10.5cm (5.5 inches x 4 inches). The condition is very good minus.
