Description: The Posies Autographed CDThe Posies "Failure" re-issue CD, autographed on the CD booklet by in red and blue marker by both Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow.(we have two of these -- this one has lighter autographs -- please look closely at photos). Sold with a brand-new copy of the CD. Signed at an official private autograph session in August of 2014. Sold with a Certificate of Authenticity from The Autograph Source (Lifetime Guarantee). ___________ The Posies’ 1988 debut is back and bigger than ever! Little did Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow know that when they dropped off their cassette to Scott McCaughey (R.E.M., The Minus 5), the clerk at their favorite record store (who happened to do A&R for the indie label PopLlama), that a power-pop dynasty would begin. Originally released by the band on cassette, then issued on LP (with one track removed for the then-current time constraints), and later on CD, Failure set the independent music world on fire. Omnivore Recordings is proud to reissue this landmark album, complete with eight bonus tracks, including one available for the first time. Housed in a digipak, Failure contains the original 12 songs, plus bonus material from the highly sought after and out of print 2000 box set At Least At Last, as well tracks from the Spanish only 15th anniversary edition—plus, one track recently located in The Posies’ extensive archives. The booklet contains press clippings and essays from 1988, as well as updated messages from McCaughey and the band. This 2014 edition sees the original 12-track playlist restored and available on vinyl for the first time since its original issue (and cut by Kevin Gray). The LP (initial pressing on colored vinyl) also includes a download card for the entire CD program. While Auer and Stringfellow have continued on—whether as members of the reunited Big Star, as The Posies and as solo artists—the journey began at Failure. Step back in time and hear the future. Signed at an official private autograph session. Sold with a Certificate of Authenticity from The Autograph Source (Lifetime Guarantee).

The best way to avoid problems is to buy from a respected dealer with a physical store. You want someone that will be there when you walk in the door, or call on the phone. Do a little research. Find out who you are purchasing from. If it is too good to be true... chances are it is fake. Don't take a risk when investing. Would you buy stock from someone who will only communicate with you by email? Would you buy a Rolex from someone on EBay who doesn't give you their phone number or address? Don't treat your memorabilia investment any differently. Rock'n'Roll and Hollywood memorabilia is VERY hard to come by. Someone with the wherewithal to authenticate a piece knows what it is worth. There is not a respected dealer in the business who has multiples of these types of pieces. Real dealers have long waiting lists on the high end pieces... they won't be sitting on big inventories. In addition, please research so-called "Forensic Examiners", whose letters are not accepted by legitimate dealers or auction houses. Search for information about them online and draw your own conclusion.. We are not the only dealer selling authentic pieces, but we are one of the few. Use your brain, educate yourself, and enjoy collecting! - The Autograph Source Aspen.

We have provided customers all over the world with some of the finest pieces the industry has to offer. We appreciate that buying autographs can be a daunting task even for experienced collectors. Know that you can purchase from us with absolute confidence. Look under “authenticity” for more information. The Autograph Source is located in downtown Aspen, Colorado. Our location gives us exposure to many of the modern celebrities and their agents. The simple fact that many of the autographs that we sell are from people who pass through our retail location gives our customers absolute confidence that our pieces are real. What you see here on EBay, and on our website is only a snapshot of what we sell. Due to the unique nature of our business, sometimes it can take us months to authenticate and negotiate for a piece. By the time we receive the piece, there can be several parties interested in purchasing it. As a result, a high percentage of our pieces sell in the first 48 hours. The best way to obtain quality pieces is to contact us with a “wish list”. Founder Rick Schultz has been involved at the highest level of this field, with a high-end memorabilia gallery here in Aspen since 1996. He also opened a very successful store in Las Vegas which sold in 2003. He has been collecting for most of his life, and has found a way to live and breathe his passion for Rock’n’Roll, Sports, Hollywood, and History each and every day. Feel free to contact Rick, or any of our staff, at any time. AUTHENTICITY OF OUR PIECES: The Autograph Source works with the certified experts in each field that we sell in order to make insure that every piece we sell is authentic. Rather than using a generalized authentication service, we rely on the opinion of the specific expert; the most knowledgeable authority on each particular piece. Through our years in the industry, we know who the experts are, and they are used to dealing with us. We do not take any risks on the pieces that we sell. The provenance of each piece is the most important thing. If the provenance is impeccable, then we move on to authentication of the piece or signature. If any part of the equation does not add up, we simply do not deal with the piece. We offer a Certificate Of Authenticity, which is a lifetime guarantee that the piece is real, with every piece. A Certificate Of Authenticity is only as good as the company that issues it. Our reputation is impeccable, and our letter means something. Buying from us is a no-risk proposition. Please feel free to email us or call us for more information about the authenticity of our items. Different items are sourced in different ways, and we are always happy to discuss this topic. It is the most important facet of our business. Feel free to contact us through ebay or The Autograph Source.
