Then went to the “Bag-O-Nails”, a club where the Stones and Beatles go’&nbsp;</li><li>Monday 7th August 1967 – ‘Next went to the Speakeasy. Need a passport to get in as a guest.’&nbsp;</li><li>Tuesday 8th August 1967 – ‘BEFORE I write – anything I must say that I met (talked to) John Lennon of The Beatles! It happened in the morning (actually – to be technical – on August 9th at 3.15 at the Speakeasy Club. I got his autograph and talked to him. He signed his name with this very pen I’m writing this with. He was very sharp and witty. For example, I said “Hey John, I know you don’t like to sign be bothered signing autographs…” And before I had a chance to finish he said, “How do you know?” I said “Well, ah – ah – I guess I don’t really know but I just assumed that”. Then I told him I didn’t normally collect autographs, but there were only four people whose autographs I would ever want and that is: The Beatles. Then he said something in return but I didn’t quite understand him. He said something about “You mean you wouldn’t want Kruschev’s (sic) or Johnson’s autograph?” Thinking he said that, I said, “No No, I just want The Beatles autographs”. Then I asked him if The Beatles were going to change their name to Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band. He once again gave me a witty answer and said “What do you mean? What’s wrong with having two names? Will you accept us if we use the name “Beatles” on one side of a record and “Sergeant Pepper” on the other side?” Again I had to admit he was right. What’s wrong with two names? Why should you conform and have only one name? Then, finally, I asked “Oh? Do you mean that your next album will use both names?” He said “Maybe, that’s and idea” He walked out of the John (bathroom) and as he left I said “Thanks John” He said “It’s all right” I still don’t believe it happened. Before this I went to the “Wetherbee Inn” and “The Ship” nothing half as interesting happened.&nbsp;</li><li>Sammy Davis Jr. was also at The Speakeasy. I also met a guy named Mark who I talked to most of the night. There weren’t many girls at all.&nbsp;</li><li>John Lennon was at a table with Eric Burdon and the Animals who are playing at the Speakeasy on Thursday nite. I hope to see them.’&nbsp;</li><li>Thursday 10th August 1967 – Went to Speakeasy. Saw Eric Burdon and the Animals. Psychedelic Sound. Got Eric’s autograph. Also met a girl who said she wrote for an American newspaper about pop music. Associated with WPOP in Hartford. Name Debbie Smith She seemed to like me. The New Animals did not impress me. They were just a lot of noise. Eric’s singing was fair.’&nbsp;</li></ul>&nbsp;(4) A letter from the cousin of the original recipient that reads:<ul><li>‘Enclosed please find the autographs of John Lennon and Eric Burdon from August of 1967. I have also included my cousin's (Tom Tondo) diary from his trip to England. I have tabbed the page that referenced him getting Mr. Lennon's signature. You will also find additional memorabilia he had from that trip such as his personal notes, a club card and transit map.’.&nbsp;</li></ul>

Lennon has signed the lending stamp to the inside cover 'J[ohn] W[inston] Lennon, IVC', and dated this '1955'. The details have been crossed through by the subsequent reader in 1961-2. This signed library book represents an especially early autograph from the future Beatle, at this time aged just 14; 'The Quarrymen' band was formed by John aged 15 and was named after the high school noted within this volume. Music aside, the subject of the book has a clear link to his later career as a dramatist; Lennon co-wrote the play A Spaniard In the Works with Victor Spinetti and starred in the film How I Won the War. An important item, accompanied by a statement of provenance from Paul Wane, one of the world's most respected Beatles specialists.

Between the years 1978 and 1986 Raymond Pettibon (aka, Raymond Pettibone; St. Pettibone) produced a now historic amassment of graphic works for the seminal Southern California punk band Black Flag. Published mostly by SST Records - founded by Pettibon's brother and Black Flag guitarist, Greg Ginn, these works shed valuable light on the origin and development of Pettibon’s thematic interests &amp; style; not to mention his evolution into one of the most important artist’s of his generation.

Taking their points of departure in the Southern California punk-rock culture of the late 1970's and 80's and the “do-it-yourself” aesthetic of album covers, concert flyers, comics and fanzines that characterized the movement, his drawings have come to occupy their own genre of powerful and dynamic American commentary.

In your face and rebellious, Black Flag defined American punk with their destructive energy and spontaneity evoked here in the black and white designs, making the portraits reverberate both visually &amp; contextually.

Between the years 1978 and 1986 Raymond Pettibon (aka, Raymond Pettibone; St. Pettibone) produced a now historic amassment of graphic works for the seminal Southern California punk band Black Flag. Published mostly by SST Records - founded by Pettibon's brother and Black Flag guitarist, Greg Ginn, these works shed valuable light on the origin and development of Pettibon’s thematic interests and style; not to mention his evolution into one of the most important artist’s of his generation.
