All I've got is a photograph

george_pepper.jpg It's probably too late to start saving, but on April 17 the guitar superstore Route 66 will hold an auction of unique rock 'n' roll memorabilia. Among the items are James Jamerson's bass ("the only instrument not stolen from him," according to the catalog), Gram Parsons' acoustic guitar, Roger McGuinn's 12-string Rick, and an early Elvis autograph. But maybe the coolest is a copy of Sgt. Pepper's signed by all four Fabs.

Have fun searching the catalog. Some guy named Tom Fontaine seems to have been hoarding this stuff for about 40 years.

Hmmm . . . They seem to be okay now. Thx for the alternate link, though, Mike.

Yer links appear to have died. I was able to go here, though, and drool...
