$

295

I have inherited a massive amount of vinyl from various collections given to me from numerous people and though it's a slow process, I have been digging through the hundreds of records and memorabilia, finding many true treasures.....such as this one!
I have FOR SALE (2) individual items that have been signed by members of The Drifters.
ITEM #1:
The first appears to be (guessing) a drum head, at least it looks like it might be, and it has the signatures of (4) members: "Ben E. King", "Johnny Moore", "Joe Blunt" and looks like possibly "Clyde", maybe Clyde McPhatter. 
While researching these members I have found they were members of The Drifters during the following time:         Clyde McPhatter:  1953 - 1954 /  DIED in 1972             Ben E. King        :  1958 - 1960, 1981 - 1985 / DIED in 2015
     Johnny Moore    :  1954 - 1957, 1964 - 1978, 1980, 1983, 1987 - 1998 / DIED in 1998
     Joe Blunt            :  1976 - 1980, 1983 - 1986 / currently still living
ITEM #2:
In this collection of Drifters things there is a publicity photo, which I do not believe to be original because it says "Epson" on the back, none the less, stuck in behind it I found another set of signatures on a manila type paper. This set is a little harder to make out but I can clearly read the following: "Johnny Moore", "Charlie Boy" and "Johnny Terry" (which is signed upside down to the others). The 4th signature is too difficult for me to even guess.
There were a couple different "Charlie's" in the group: Charlie Hughes - 1956                                                                                               Charlie Thomas - 1958 - 1967                                                                                         Charles Baskerville - 1967 Not sure who the "Charlie Boy" might be
On the back of this card are (2) additional signatures for someone named " The T-Bones "

                                                                            PLEASE NOTE: I have spent a lot of hours looking up these "DRIFTER's" members and their signatures and they all appear to be real and true HOWEVER, if you are a potential buyer, I encourage you to do your homework also to feel confident.

45 RPM Specifics:
1.  " SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES / SPANISH LACE " by The Drifters /  1964 / Atlantic / 45-2260

3.  " THERE GOES MY BABY / OH MY LOVE " by The Drifters / 1959 / Atlantic / 45-2025
                     *  Vinyl has been played quite a bit.  There is needle noise and heavy needle popping during part                      of "There goes my baby" but surprisingly no skips. HOWEVER, the flip side "Oh my love" also has                      needle noise but skips in a few places. Also, the label on the flip side is not clean.

                    *  Vinyl is Good - plays fine but there is some needle noise
Note:     These records are old so not uncommon for needle noise
