Klepsie 24th Dec 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaSteeleye Span - British Tour 1981 Souvenir Badge (1981) | I believe this may have been the last tour with Tim Hart on board?
|
Klepsie 8th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaThe Maddy Prior Band - Gig Flyer: The Aquarius, Chesterfield (1981) | A very folk evening, evidently. Leonard and Squire's LP on Rubber Records, "Broken Down Gentlemen", is very collectable; for the Ripley Wayfarers see here and for Roaring Jelly, here.
|
Klepsie 8th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaGenesis - Patch | Never worn, evidently; still has a price label stuck on the back (20p!)
|
Klepsie 8th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaLed Zeppelin - Patch | Apologies for the woeful condition of this one, which has evidently seen years of hard service on someone's jacket. I expect that originally it looked like this.
|
Klepsie 8th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaThe Sensational Alex Harvey Band - "The Buffer" (Ted McKenna) Badge | This was one of a set of five, one for each member of the band. The others were "The Actor" (Zal Cleminson), "The Punk" (Chris Glen), "The Professor" (Hugh McKenna), and "The Teacher" (Alex Harvey himself). There was also a gig programme/comic book featuring the characters, which I have somewhere...
|
Klepsie 8th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaSteve Hackett - Badge (1979) | "From his 1979 tour" according to one for sale on eBay.
|
Klepsie 8th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaThe Jam - "This Is The Modern World" Badge (1977) | Not the same photo as on the album cover, though obviously from the same photoshoot.
|
Klepsie 8th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaThe After Affect - Badge | Image blown up ~20%.
Berkshire band, interview here.
|
Klepsie 8th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaBad Apes - Badge | Image blown up ~20%.
Wolverhampton band. Interview here.
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaAndy Fairweather Low - "Watch Out For La Booga Rooga" Badge (1975) | "La Booga Rooga" album and single came out 1975; this presumably 1975 or 76.
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaKenny Young And The Eggplants - Logo Badge | Larger than the other badge I have of theirs, and the eggplant's hair is green...
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaThe Buzzcocks - "Northern Rock" Badge (1979) | Similar but smaller badge dated to 1979 by this page (which has a couple of dozen more Buzzcocks badges pictured).
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaUriah Heep - Souvenir Badge, UK Tour 1980 (1980) | Blown up ~20%.
Uriah Heep toured the UK twice in 1980, firstly between 1 and 24 February and then again between 5 November and 3 December. This badge more likely comes from the latter as that tour had a Stoke date, unlike the earlier one.
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaRockpile - "A Pile Of Rock" Badge | Size increased ~20%. (Scanned at 600dpi but still blurs when blown up.)
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaBoomtown Rats - Badge | Probably 1970s. I get the impression this logo was mainly in use in their early career,
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaRick Wakeman - "I Went Out To Lunch With The Rick Wakeman Show" Badge | My superannuated scanner is supposedly scanning at 300dpi anyway...
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaYes - Souvenir Badge, Wembley 1978 (1978) | Empire Pool, Wembley. Page with setlist, photos and memorabilia (but not this badge!) here.
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaRick Wakeman - "I Went Out To Lunch With The Rick Wakeman Show" Badge | Small lapel badge, blown up 20% to meet site minima.
No idea of date I'm afraid.
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaThe Stranglers - "No More Heroes" Badge (1977) | Versions of this badge also exist with the design less magnified, hence with smaller writing and more flowers visible round the edges.
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaWilko Johnson - Badge | Small lapel badge, scanned larger than actual size to comply with site minima.
May have been from a Dr Feelgood gig, but given the other badges in the collection that I got this with, I suspect it was obtained at Knebworth 1978 where Wilko and his Solid Senders played.
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaUFO - Souvenir Gig Badge | No clues about the date of this one I'm afraid.
|
Klepsie 7th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaDarts - Badge (1977) | Someone who knows more about the band than I might be able to date this one from the line-up depicted?
|
Klepsie 6th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaClimax Blues Band - Badge | This one might not be official -- it looks a little amateurishly done.
|
Klepsie 6th Oct 2014 | | Music Memorabilia[none] - Mike Lloyd Music Rock Club Badge | Mike Lloyd Music was a chain of record stores in Staffordshire and environs. Mr Lloyd was also involved in promotion and possibly management. He wound up on the board of Walsall FC and later Port Vale.
|
Klepsie 6th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaThe Stranglers - Badge | There are also badges with this same design but with "Rattus Norvegicus" text on the branch that the rat's running along.
|
Klepsie 6th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaThe Beatles - Badge, "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" | Entered under the Beatles with some hesitation; it looks about the right vintage to be related to the dreadful 1978 film with the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton.
|
Klepsie 6th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaMotörhead - Souvenir Badge, Heavy Metal Holocaust Festival (1981) | Ozzy was a late substitute on the line-up for Black Sabbath -- the change came after the tickets were printed but not, it seems, the badges. Web page with info, reminiscensces, setlists and photos of the festival here.
|
Klepsie 6th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaRick Wakeman - Souvenir Badge, "No Earthly Connection" Album/Tour (1976) | Presumably relates to that album, anyway, as it shares cover art with it (you can just see some of the title under Rick's name at the bottom).
|
Klepsie 6th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaJudas Priest - Badge | Unsure of date. Doesn't appear to tie in to any obvious one album or tour.
|
Klepsie 6th Oct 2014 | | Music MemorabiliaFrank Zappa - Souvenir Badge, Knebworth Festival (1978) | Second badge from same event as this one, but nowhere near as nice...
