Description

Fully signed Toulouse Street, inscribed to Eric Clapton's bodyguard

Toulouse Street album by The Doobie Brothers, signed and inscribed on the inner gatefold in black ballpoint by all five original members: “Alfie—Great getting to know you, won’t be long ‘til we’re having tea at your house, Until then, Pat Simmons,” “Alf—Best wishes, enjoyed the hell out of touring with you all, Good luck to you, love and kisses, Tom Johnston,” “Alf—Thanks lots for the good vibes on the tour. Looking forward to doing it again. Love all of you. Take care—Tiran,” “Alf, I made some friends on the tour, and I’m glad you were one. See you in Soho. Michael,” and "Alf, Much luck in the future. You're a great guy to know and a nice one too. See ya soon, Little John," who writes “Fair well, L. J.,” below a mouse sketch; John Hartman also adds a spider and a humorous tattoo to his thigh: “Choice Grade A Meat.” The gatefold is also signed and inscribed by roadie Gerard Landry. In fine condition, with a stain to the left edge of the front cover. The record is included. The original recipient of this album was Alphi O'Leary, a longtime friend and bodyguard of Eric Clapton, who also worked with T. Rex and other major musical acts.
