Photo Frame Record

I currently have my signed Iron Maiden 'Powerslave' and King Diamond 'Conspiracy' albums in them, and will be going back to get two more - one each for my original cover Guns N' Roses 'Appetite For Destruction' LP and my original cover Uncle Sam 'Heaven Or Hollywood' (if Chloe lets me put it up!)

The frames are fine for single albums, but you might struggle to get a double album or something with a gatefold release in it

OK - this MIGHT work! Got a new camera which I am struggling with - it tends to turn itself off after a minute, stating it has 'low battery power', even tho the batteries are new. Will have to take to back to Argos and get a refund I think

Anyway...

1) Iron Maiden. Ignore the name the signatures are dedicated to. It was a long time ago! Starting from the top, and moving clockwise, we have Adrian Smith, Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Nicko and Bruce D. This was after a show they played at the Southampton Gaumont on the World Slavery Tour, 7th October 1984

2) King Diamond. The messages are 'Stay Heavy', '9' and 'I Hate Dr. Landau', while the signatures are King Diamond and (I think) guitarist Andy LaRocque. Again, it was a long time ago. It was at an 'in-store signing' at a heavy metal shop in London in 1989. I forget the name of the shop, but it was off Wardour Street, and you had to go downstairs to get to it!

3) Uncle Sam. The original cover for the 'Heaven Or Hollywood' LP, before it was censored by having the girl wearing underwear

4) Guns N' Roses. The original 'rapist robot' cover which was withdrawn and replaced with the cross cover

5) Kate Bush. This is a Canadian import from 1983. Hey, if you have a picture of Kate Bush in lingerie, you HAVE to frame it, don't ya!
