Photos from The Beatles White Album
Now, if you download the album, do you get these cool pictures? No, of course not. I recently sold a bunch of albums. 1000 is just too many. I saw on craigslist.org that some guy wanted to buy albums, so I contacted him and he came over and bought about 80 albums and huge Beatles poster. I didn’t get a photo of poster (stupid me) but I did scan these photos and take a picture of the poster that came in the White Album. I didn’t bother with the cover of the album, it’s just white. And the way my camera works, it would be yellow. So, these are sold, but I wanted to post them. The other poster was huge. bigger than this one, but the same design I think: The Beatles Four Faces Pop Art Music Poster Print – 24×36
Happy Birthday Card from the 1960s
Here’s a Sincere Regards company birthday card that looks to be from the 1960s. Was never used, but my mother-in-law decided to write in it so we will always know where it came from.

Jesus Music! Barry McGuire and 2nd Chapter Of Acts Concert Flyer
Barry McGuire best known for his hit “Eve of Destruction” became a convert to Christianity and played Jesus Music. “And a band called ‘David’”. 2nd Chapter of Acts also Jesus Music, as you may have guessed. Concert at First Baptist Church, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Barry has a very interesting site, Trippin’ Through the Sixties. This was in my parent’s stuff.
I’m really digging this song! Some great guitar work on that Les Paul!
A Couple Early School Certificates
[ad#ad-2]
This is more of a genealogy post. I’ve got these two school certificates from Crawford County, Kansas. I am most happy to send these to any decendents of any of the people named on the certificates.
The first one is for Della Majors for 6th grade in Pittsburg Public School. She was “neither absent nor tardy” for the whole year! Signed by Anna R. Brown, Principal, Gertrude Alexander, Teacher, John F. Bender?, Superintendent. May 27th, 1921.
The second one, filled out by a calligrapher, belongs to George Mertz, school district no. 39, Girard, Crawford County, Kansas, for “punctual and regular attendance.” Signed by Emma Malloy, Teacher, and J. W. Miley, County Superintendent. May 17th, 1912. Produced by Crane & Co., Topeka, Kansas. The back side has the names Frank Murtz (different spelling than Mertz) and Square Mold Selcer? I could be wrong about that last one. Perhaps it’s the dad’s name and occupation. There was a lot of mining around Southeast Kansas at this time.
U2 Rattle and Hum Poster
I got this U2 Rattle and Hum poster free while in college. Unfortunately I kept it by a window and it’s faded pretty bad. I did laminate it, but you can see the spots from the silly putty junk you have to use to hang stuff in the dorms. It’s 21 inches by 15 inches or 54 cm x 37 cm. I LOVE U2. And I LOVE this movie. And the CD. I also have the gatefold-cover vinyl and will post it someday. You can buy the DVD for less than two dollars
! U2 is largely responsible for pulling me out of heavy metal. Good or bad? Leave a comment.

Star Wars Stormtrooper Spiral Notebook
Stormtroopers blasting away. The front cover a Star Wars spiral-bound notebook. Wow, the scan really shows this worse than it looks in person. And darker. Hard to believe I’ve been lugging this thing around since 1977. I should add that this is a rare cover, it was hard to find in the stores, so that’s probably why I kept it. It was hanging on my wall as a kid, so it’s got a pin hole at the top. I should just let my kids have it, but then it would be gone forever. Except, not really, as it will float around in digital form for quite a few years now.
