Ultimate 80s Score! - THOMPSON TWINS
Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2011 2:06 am
The 80s pop group THOMPSON TWINS were one of my favorites growing up as a teen in the 80s. I had all their LPs, 45s and CDs. Still today I collect what I can find on them. They were one of the best with hits like 'Hold me Now', 'Doctor Doctor' and 'Lay Your Hands on me'.
These days the 3 original members Joe, Tom and Allanah live in 3 different parts of the world.
US, UK and France. The group hasnt been together in years and I doubt there would ever be a reunion. But I am one for 'Wishful Thinking', lol. Anyways...
Yesterday while in Boston, MA I was checking out some record stores and one of them had Autographed items such as Records, Sheet Music, etc. I saw the LP way up on the top shelf in a display case. Housed inside a plastic protector with a price tag of $800.00 USD. It was way out of my league. But I did manage to talk the owner down to $450.00. This is one of my most prized posessions. Not only that its Autographed, but its a rare promo LP that came with an extra LP of unreleased material/remixes. So it was a 2 for 1. Anyhow - I am really excited about this one and before anyone asks if the signatures are real. YES, they are. The research was done today and it was confirmed that it was 100% real. It also came with a COA, but to me those dont mean anything to me as anyone can make one of those.
Well, just wanted to share this with you all. Enjoy.
I removed the plastic from the album.
Its now framed and on display in my home.
