Signed records, more proofs, metal stampers, reels, gold & platinum discs, T-shirts & the last remnants of Geoff's stuff - well worth looking through.
The Peepholism collection interests me greatly - maybe enough to cough up for it...

This is all mighty queer. Alot of these Moz lots must surely come from Jo Slee: "Peepholism" proofs, Arsenal tour itineraries, Etc.

í robbed a bank accidentally a few years back, and bought one of those gold & chocolate "Interesting Drug" variants that had come from Jo Slee. That salmon one though is quite soignée.

í would kill my own Uncle to get my mits on the Sprio spree, and that never-seen Teller 8x10 :love:

Also, aren't some of these lots items that were sold the last time round {There is a Light & Sheila proofs?} GT must have a stash of them. The Smiths are the gift that keeps on giving.

í seem to remember that it was reasonably well known that Mr Shelley and M. were very good friends in the early daze. As close as brothers...

.

It'll be interesting when we find out roughly how many brothers he's had. I hope he's kept a diary.
 
His genius showed up later on...

Had this on my bedroom wall, freshly cut from a music magazine of the era - I forget which one. I now get the in-joke which I merely thought, at the time, was Morrissey being wittier than Oscar Wilde.

I'm not around this morning to collate the highlights - if anyone wants to copy and paste them here, feel free.
Probably a separate thread later.
