Wow, looking at some pretty big dollar amounts here IMO.

Some interesting stuff there. I don't know if BMC has this info on the October 15, 1976 show:

If money were not an issue, I would definitely buy a few of these. This might be my favorite (though I've seen it before):

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

The band never played the carnival benefit. Bernie pulled them out.
Great poster though which I can't recall seeing before.

Indeed, but in keeping with other similar items over the last couple of years. Personally I could never part with that kind of cash for a poster. Would love to know who does though.

Easiest thing in the world now to get a reprint, There really is no difference except in the minds of some.

I would agree with you on that, if I was fortunate to have any of those, I'd never put them up for sale either.

Should we go to war with France now?
Should we go to war with France now?
If we don't we got nobody else to kill
And if we do then i get to be Churchill
So come on and let me know
Should we go to war with France?

Just sent him another email seeing if those dates are legit. Amazon shows the same.
Just got a response from Bernard R.
My health is ok and I’m about to start a fresh adventure. Where did you see this information…..

Meantime I’ve attached an item sent to me recently from the past I’d like to share; see it as a case study of my work. Shall let you know of the new project soon….

Be well,
He included a snippet from an NME article where Keith Levene talks about Rhodes' importance. I'm definitely approaching this with sincerity as I do respect Bernie/Bernard. I sent him the amazon and bookdepository links.

Sounds like he's still looking for validation of his role in early UK punk.
