Description

Full set of 1978 AC/DC signatures

Ballpoint signatures, “Bon AC/DC,” “Cliff Williams, AC/DC,” “Malcolm Young, AC/DC,” and “Phil Rudd, AC/DC,” on a 6 x 3.5 lightly-lined yellow triangular slip; and a ballpoint signature and inscription, “Best wishes, Judy, Angus Young, AC/DC,” on an off-white 5 x 3 card. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient of the multi-signed sheet explaining how he received the signatures at the record store Peaches in 1978, in part: “I wasn’t a fan yet but saw them just hangin’ there with a handful of fans...They were promoting the Powerage album and performing that night somewhere. They were all very talkable and cool. I ended up talking the most with Malcom [sic] about tape recorders and making echo effects by rewiring them…he was really into it as was I and we had a great conversation about it. He even gave me a free Powerage T-shirt! Then…from a corner room strays in Bon Scott and he’s swarmed in Rock Star fashion by 2 beautiful girls eventually taunting him to sign their tit with a magic marker…A classic scene for sure!…I made a comment about the tit signing and he said something I’ll never forget, ‘I’m on a highway to hell mate!’ and he scrawled his autograph for me.” Consignor notes that the Angus Young signature was obtained in person at the Charlotte Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 8, 1980. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL. An excellent grouping enhanced by its rock solid back story and the presence of Scott, who remains quite rare in band-signed items.
