A Heavily Studded Rhinestone Jacket Of Michael Jackson's, The Largest John Lennon Autograph on Record, Kiss Stage Costumes, a Buddy Holly Signed Yearbook and Springsteen Handwritten Lyrics are Among The 800 Items Being Auctioned at Itsonlyrocknroll.com Summer 2005 Auction

Effective immediately, ItsOnlyRocknRoll.com will auction more than 800 lots of Beatles, rock and roll, music and entertainment memorabilia. The auction ends on June 28th.

The rock and roll event will feature one of the most amazing Bruce Springsteen collections ever assembled boasting items from all seven of his bands dating back to his earliest days of performing. Included are handwritten lyrics and set lists, contracts, rare handbills, posters and even a signed high school yearbook, plus the guitar that is featured in the 'Tunnel of Love" program book.

The ever popular Beatles are a main stay in each auction and for this auction, ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com is auctioning their most unusual Beatles artifact to date - the actual front door to the Beatles Apple Records lawyer, Nat Weiss' office which was signed and anointed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Carly Simon Taylor, James Taylor, Cat Stevens and other notables. John's amazing signature is 12.5" x 2.5" and is by far the largest one known to exist! The bidding starts at $15,000 and it is estimated that it will fetch well over $75,000. There are many other handwritten and signed Beatles items featured including a signed poster, program, photo and more.

Other notable Beatles items include a rare historical receipt signed by the 5 original Beatles: John, Paul, George, their original bassist, Stuart Sutcliffe, and their original drummer, Pete Best. Another amazing piece of Beatle history is the original master tape for the Beatles first concert which was only shown as a "closed circuit broadcast" from Washington D.C.. This is the ONLY known complete and original print.

The publicity surrounding ItsOnlyRocknRoll.com's previous sale of a poster for The Beatles 1966 concert at Shea Stadium for a world record $132,000 brought out another previously unknown copy that will be offered this time in addition to another fine example of the poster for The Beatles Cleveland appearance in 1966. In addition there are other concert posters, handbills, tickets and memorabilia from the beginning of their careers right up to their final concert performances in 1966.

One of the rare Beatle records offered is the original withdrawn cover version of the LP Yesterday and Today known as the "butcher" cover, sealed with a letter from the original promo man Allen Livingston, valued at over $20,000.

Other rock notables include KISS members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss' original and complete stage costumes, along with Elvis Presley, Duran Duran and Michael Jackson outfits.

An exceptional item, worthy of being in the Smithsonian is Woody Guthrie personal copy of Bartlett's Quotations in which he has added over 500 personal entries, many of them signed, with revealing and important notes in his own hand. An original road case stenciled and used by The Doors became Jim Morrison's favorite seat to smoke pot on!

Continuing with the astounding array of rare concert posters that fans and collectors have come to expect from ItsOnlyRocknRoll.com are posters including the 1st European Jazz Festival in 1949 with jazz great Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Django Reinhardt, and others plus many other important early jazz pieces. There's also supremely rare posters from The Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, The Who, Cream/Eric Clapton, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, The Acid Test, and all the other big names.

Entertainment items will include original Frank Sinatra awards, Marilyn Monroe documents, a Golden Globe award, and even a Tonight Show Emmy award. More info at http://www.itsonlyrocknroll.com/ -- info@itsonlyrocknroll.com .
