AUTOGRAPHED / SIGNED BY ERIC CARR
Long story to this one.....!
Back in the day I co-ran the UK fanzine Kiss Renegades....Google us ;)
I had the fortune to meet Kiss numerous times including Eric on two consecutive nights in September 1988 when Kiss played London.
I had a number of items signed and Eric even did a self portrait of his make up for me on hotel paper which I framed. This is the last item I still have a...nd it's dedicated to me "To Stuart....Eric Carr"....
Here's the story.....on the second night of the two shows at Wembley Eric was sat at the bar of the Grosvenor Hotel in London with a rather attractive lady. He waved through the window and carried on. Back in the day the chocolate bar called Bounty had a card insert to protect the chocolate. One of the fans (a well known fan....Adam from Newcastle) took the card from the chocolate bar and wrote a small note to Eric letting him know how far we'd all traveled and would he spare ten minutes. We handed the note to the night manager who passed to Eric and the next thing this huge mass of hair came bounding down the corridor ...it was Eric! He spent about 15 mins or so signing and this sleeve is from that night.
I also had my tourbook signed (twice!), ticket signed, t shirt and the self portrait. All long sold.
Unfortunately the actual vinyl got badly damaged during the trip so I've taken it upon myself to source a replacement which is the exact correct issue. Therefore you'll also get the unsigned sleeve from this replacement vinyl....see pic.
The autographed seeve itself is fair to good with a small hole.
I do have pics from that evening, but do you think I can find them?!?!! So, I've added a few other pics of myself with KISS to help with provenance. A pic of Paul and myself where's he's signed a copy of Kiss Renegades, and a pic of Bruce i took which we used on the cover of an issue. Hope it helps.
