Dean Martin Rare Recording Contract with
Dean Martin Rare Recording Contract with Capitol Records (1951). Superb signed document, two pages, both sides (4 sides total), 8.5 x 11, Capitol Records, Inc. letterhead, December 21 1951. An exclusive artists' contract in which Martin agrees to continue his then well-established musical career with Capitol for an additional five-year period, receiving a total of $10,000 plus 5% of all royalties pertaining to the sale and airing of all his tracks recorded during the contractual period. Initialed by Martin throughout the body of the document a total of twelve (12) times and signed in full, "Dean Martin," at the conclusion in black ink. Multiple rider and amendment slips have been taped onto both pages, leaving some staining as a result of adhesion staining. However, all text remains fully legible and Martin's signature stands bold and unaffected. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
