Quotejbwelda Thanks for the info on the mobile studio, Matt, I have thought about building a scale model of it at some point, but would need to have some photos of the interior. Of course, then I would have to donate it to you for your museum. Have done similar before. Donated this one to Roger Steffens Reggae Archive: jb That's totally awesome... I thought of asking someone to make one.

Quoteronkort Matt, I gave you my photographer sticker after Ronnie his solo show in 2001 at SBE. From what I read it is also the start of your collection ;-) You got into the after show at a club.

Plus VAT on the commission!... They were just shy of £130,000 all in. Auction houses typically quote "come get me" estimates. It gets people interested and thinking they have a chance. In this case, Christies not having done Rock'n'Roll in years were relying on a wealthy client base as opposed to a Rock'n'Roll expert base. These are unique jackets made for historic

I'm a serious collector, I doubt everything, I need evidence... I consider the evidence and I make a judgement and I am very happy to change my view with the emergence of new evidence.

My understanding is that the "merchandise version" of the tongue was created because much of the merchandise range was enamel and you need both enough space for the enamel to flow but also a wall to ensure the separation of the enamel colours.
