| The Rock and Pop 2020 Summer Auction |
We are so super excited about this collection as
there are some really amazing pieces of music history that will be
featured in the auction.
As one of the industry’s true visionaries, Kalodner is rightfully
credited for launching - and re-launching - the careers of Aerosmith,
Cher, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Journey, Asia and Whitesnake,
while at the same time being closely involved with the commercial
successes of John Lennon, Madonna, Jimmy Page, Van Halen, Def
Leppard, Iron Maiden, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Sammy Hagar,
Berlin, Wang Chung, Don Henley, Jackyl, Shawn Colvin and
countless others.
After his retirement from the music business in
2006, Kalodner sold his vast collection and this auction is the
very first time his incredible wealth of awards, trophies and
personal mementos will be made available to the general public.
This once-in-a-lifetime collection consists of hundreds of
authentic record awards, including rare RIAA Diamond and MTV
Moonman awards, exclusive photos, autographed memorabilia,
promotional items and unique photo ID laminated passes.
Rounding out this not-to-miss auction event will be a dazzling
presentation of artist signed guitars, rare band & crew
tour shirts and jackets, as well as a host of other desirable
rock & roll music memorabilia.
The Auction will go live on Saturday, June 20th and end on Sunday, June 28th! So mark the date and come feast your eyes on this truly magnificent exhibition of awesome music memorabilia. As always, there's something for everyone and there's something in every price range to make sure that no one will leave the party empty-handed.
