RR Auction: Marvels of Modern Music

Auction Details

RR's latest Marvels of Modern Music sale is led by the collection of blues musician and writer Tony Glover, a personal friend of Bob Dylan. Among the top items are early 1960s letters from Dylan to Glover, transcripts of an unpublished 1971 interview hand-annotated by Dylan himself, and audio tapes of interviews with Dylan, Hendrix, and The Doors. Other highlights of the sale are a stage-worn Bob Marley shirt, stage-used guitars of Ace Frehley and Roy Buchanan, a remarkable archive of Johnny Cash letters, a multitude of Beatles pieces, a rare handwritten John Lennon letter lashing out against "Jesus Freaks," and much more. Join us as we make history selling music history in November 2020.
