Motown: Benny Benjamin's Drum Folder with
Motown: Benny Benjamin's Drum Folder with Original Score for "Get Ready". This remarkable piece of rhythm and blues history was acquired directly from Motown. Benny Benjamin, newly elected into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, was known for his incendiary drum work on the Temptations' version of Get Ready. He was a key player in Motown's Funk Brothers and only now is he receiving the recognition he has long deserved as the man who anchored the beat of the Motown signature style. This is Benny's Temptations drums folder, complete with his Get Ready recording score. The folder not only has "Drums" and "Temptations" embossed on it, someone, probably Benny, has used a drumstick (what else?) to imprint a cross on the folder's back cover. Faint, but definitely there. Included is a photo of Benjamin and a letter of authenticity from the wife of famed Motown musical director Cornelius Grant. (folder dimensions: 11 x 14; score dimensions: 9-1/2 x 12) 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.
