VINNIE VINCENT STUDIO AUDIO TAPES ON EBAY
(from kiss-museum/eBay)
An amazing Vinnie Vincent artifact - Vinnie's personal studio tapes of various demos from the mid-'80s soon after leaving KISS. These were basically tapes Vinnie would copy from the masters for his personal use away from the studio. What makes these tapes extra-special is that the song titles were hand written by Vinnie himself!

Before being in KISS, Vinnie was a studio musician and then, as he is doing here after leaving KISS, is writing songs to shop around to various artist or record companies. Two of the songs are notable - Tears, was recorded by John Wait in 1984 and went on to become a huge hit. Back on the Streets was recorded later by his band Vinnie Vincent Invasion, but was also recorded for the 1984 movie Voyage of the Rock Aliens and later by John Norum in 1987. It also showed up on unreleased Ace Frehley demos and was rumored to have been recorded by KISS for the Creatures of the Night album, but was dropped from the final cut.

Many of the same song titles appear each on the tapes, but they are all TOTALLY different mixes.
Sound on the tapes is crystal clear, as they were recorded straight from the studio masters.

PAUL STANLEY PHOTO BY JIMMY PAGE'S DAUGHTER
(from Chris Stern)
Recently at a charity auction I bought this signed Paul Stanley photo from Scarlet Page's Resonators collection.

The Resonators are the guitarists who created the sound we call rock, this epic collection revealing 29 portraits features a host of names and faces including Sir Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page, Brian May, Slash, Jeff Beck, Joe Walsh and Paul Stanley.

Scarlet Page, daughter of Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, A photographer for more than 20 years, Page has turned her lens on these guitar heroes for Teenage Cancer Trust.
With an exebition at The Royal Albert Hall in London and an charity auction on Ebay.
With all the profits going to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and chances of survival for the six young people aged between 13 and 24 diagnosed with cancer every day.
The charity builds specialist units within NHS hospitals that bring young people together to be treated by teenage cancer experts in a place designed just for them.
Teenage Cancer Trust wants every young person with cancer to have access to the best possible care and professional support from the point of diagnosis, no matter where they live.
Traditionally treated alongside children or elderly patients at the end of their lives, young people can feel extremely isolated during cancer treatment,
some never meeting another young person with cancer.
Being treated alongside others their own age by experts in teenage and young adult cancer care, can make a huge difference to a young person’s experience.
Teenage Cancer Trust relies on donations to fund all of its vital work.
