Do you have any 'autographed' LPs or CDs?

Sometimes, there is added fulfillment in collection software if one gets hold on an 'autographed' version. Of course, we cannot really verify if they are authentic or not unless we were there, like in a CES product launching to witness the signing itself. At any rate, do you have some of these that you treasure? Let me start a few of what I got.

Lincoln Mayorga & Doug Sax:

I've been privileged to have several musicians autograph their LPs after concerts:

Ivan Moravec and his Connoisseur Society piano recordings
Rafael Puyana and his Mercury harpsichord recordings
Janos Starker and his Mercury cello recordings
Jacqui Naylor: The Color White (first tape project release)

Best line when autographing: Starker when signing his Bach Cello Suites Mercury box set remarked, "the sins of my youth." :)

Probably the best one I have is when I recorded Woody Herman at the Conservatory I attended. Signed the tape box we used to record him in '79.
 
I had Anat Cohen sign a copy of "Clarinet Work: Live At The Village Vanguard" and a signed CD by the members of The Bad Plus.
 
Wow, that's nice, guys. Keep them coming. :)
 
Just found another one in my stash, from Ray Brown's Soular Energy, Original Concord LP:

That's really nice, John.
 
I was about to go all snooty and say I don't chase autographs from people and then I realized that I have pictures of race horses hanging on my hall wall that I have had autographed by jockeys, owners, and trainers. No CDs or LPs though.
 
I have an Amanda McBroom lp with her autograph and a Wilson Audio test cd wtih David Wilson's autograph.

That's very nice, Mullard88. I think I remember that Amanda signed album of yours.
 
I had Don Henley autograph my End Of The Innocence CD cover. And I actually got to talk to him for a few minutes. I also have Jimmy Lafave, Lou Ann Barton and Marcia Ball signed CD's. Oh and when I was a little kid(about 10) Willie Nelson was signing his latest record album and selling them, but he signed one and gave it to me for free :)

That's cool, Scott.

I have a couple of Albums where the artist is writing a note to a personal friend. The first is the Album: The Best of June Christie (very popular in the 50's w/Stan Kenton). This is a radio Promo copy and was written to one of the DJ's. Jack your really keen and neat. Keep up the good work. Lots of luck, June "a fan". The other is from the Album Getz Au GoGo, which was recorded at the Cafe AuGoGo in the Village. The note is on the inside fold out: To Dickie & Donna, Thanks for the money you sent me to further my music. Sorry I spent it on dope. At least I feel I'm playing better. Love and stuff Stanley Getz. The Getz album is in perfect shape. I picked it up for just $5. Just some intresting things you'll never find on a musicl download.
 
I have a signed CD by The Bad Plus and a signed CD by Anat Cohen. Just got my Smoke Fairies LP signed!
