Those with plenty of spare cash in
their bank accounts could end up with some very nice, rare Pink Floyd
items next week, whilst helping out three very worthwhile charities in
the process.
The highly respected auction
house Christie's are running a "Pop Memorabilia" sale at their South
Kensington branch, and as part of the sale, are a number of items from
(the band's late manager) Steve O'Rourke's estate. They are being sold
to benefit Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy and Winston's Wish, a charity
supporting bereaved children and young people.

Pink Floyd, UFO 1967 Poster |
Naturally, there are some
wonderful, unusual items - many of which are one-off's presented to
Steve himself. These range from 1966/67 autographed items, early
posters (including a number of 1967 examples, such as the UFO poster to
the right, and a 1969 "Massed Gadgets of Auximenies" poster from the
Royal Festival Hall), through tour t-shirts and collectables spanning
their career, to a number of presentation discs and awards.
The most expensive item (going by
the estimated selling price of £3000-5000) is a pair of metallic
"Division Bell" heads. The majority of the lots are estimated to sell
for between £200-500.
The sale occurs on Thursday, May
25th. The complete list of 32 Pink Floyd lots (sixteen of which are
from Steve's estate) can be seen through this link at www.Christies.com
which has pictures and descriptions of each lot on offer. It might
prove too tempting for some of you though - it certainly had us mulling
over certain lots!
Our thanks to Adam Stanley for letting us know about this auction.
The other charity looking to be
in line for a much deserved cash injection is the UK's NSPCC - the
National Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Children. There is a
Live 8 programme for sale on eBay in aid of the NSPCC, which is signed
by many of the artists who performed at the show. It was donated by
Annette Mason - Nick's wife! You can view the item - and place your bid
- through this link to eBay. Our thanks to Adrian Saunders for letting us know.
