Classic Rock T-Shirts, Hendrix Album Bring Big Bucks At Auction
November 30th, 2007 5:04pm EST Post a comment Add to My NewsNEW YORK (AP) - An auction at Christie's of rock 'n' roll memorabilia from some of the hottest bands of the 1960s and '70s hauled in big bucks Friday, including $20,000 for a Jimi Hendrix album and more than $4,000 for a Rolling Stones' T-shirt.
A copy of Hendrix's ''Axis: Bold as Love'' album from 1968 - inscribed ''Thanks for everything'' and accompanied by three color photos of the rock star - sold for double its pre-sale estimate of $10,000. Three cardboard posters for Hendrix concerts in 1968 and 1969 fetched $10,625, $16,250 and $18,750.
The limited edition, long-sleeved sweater designed to promote the Stones' 1973 ''Goat's Head Soup'' album sold for $4,750. Only about a dozen of them were produced.
Of the T-shirts, a Yardbirds shirt worn by rock journalist Greg Shaw to the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival brought $3,000 while a maroon Led Zeppelin 1973 shirt fetched $1,625.
A short-sleeved white shirt with green sleeves with the words ''War is over! If you want it'' from the John Lennon song ''Happy Xmas (War Is Over),'' sold for $1,875, just below its $2,000 estimate.
The auction house said all the T-shirts were bought by U.S. private collectors except for the John Lennon one, which was acquired by an institution it wouldn't name.
The prices included the buyer's premium.
