CHRISTIE'S ROCK & POP MEMORABILIA by Peter Doggett Sarah Hodgson

CHRISTIE'S ROCK & POP MEMORABILIA by Peter Doggett Sarah Hodgson

Over the last twenty years, rock and pop music has moved beyond the concert stage and the record shop to make a lasting impression on the worldwide auction market and there is now a passionate and lucrative trade in major items of rock and pop memorabilia. Christie's Rock and Pop Memorabilia is the first comprehensive survey of this rapidly expanding market. Based on Christie's long experience in this field, it introduces the reader to the wealth of rock and pop material that has come onto the market over the last twenty years, from the original handwritten lyrics for Let it Be, to the guitar played by Elvis Presley at his first recording session. As well as providing a detailed guide to all the different areas of collecting, it explains how to distinguish between potential collector's items and mass-produced artefacts of little value.

Peter Doggett has been the consultant to the Pop and Film Department at Christie's South Kensington since 1985. He was the editor of Record Collector magazine (1982-99) and is author of numerous books on rock and pop music, including The Beatles, Lou Reed: Growing up in Public, and Are You Ready For The Country. Sarah Hodgson joined the Pop and Film Department at Christie's South Kensington in 1994 and has been the Head of Department since 1998. As well as organizing the regular rock and pop memorabilia auctions she also values items brought in by members of the public.
