RR Auction: Marvels of Modern Music

Auction Details

RR Auction is excited to present this incredible collection of Marvels of Modern Music. We’re honored that CJ Ramone of punk pioneers The Ramones, and the family of Brad Delp, the voice of Boston, are sharing some of their historic memorabilia from their bands’ heydays. Their firsthand experiences and stories are imbedded in these rarely offered items, perfect for passionate music history collectors.

From our significant Beatles section, to our collection presented by Prince insiders, to the in-person autographs obtained by legendary collector John Brennan, this catalog has it all. Rock gods like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and many more are offered. Favorites of today are featured, but the trailblazers and roots of modern music are also strongly represented, with all the jazz greats, blues men and women, early rock n’ rollers and names that will never be forgotten.
