Current Collection

[Burkey]

Stopped actively collecting a few years back, but this is what I've accumulated.
Sorry for the phone camera quality.


Only 6 of these exist, one to each band member and 2 that are signed by the Aftertaste lineup in Australia '97, one belongs to me and the other to the guy who made them.




Page had never seen this one before, he loved it.








Signed Inpress from Aus tour '97


VINYLS




My Strap It On LP is one of the first pressings with the "Bad Moon" typo.
Page told me how many were released before the mistake was noticed and fixed but I cant remember the numbers.
Wasn't too many though, so I was stoked when he told me.





CDS





ESP LTD Page Hamilton Signature guitars.
Got one signed at an instore at Mannys Music store in Melbourne, then made a spur of the moment decision to retire that guitar and buy the one the Page played for the instore as a working guitar.
Didn't get it signed because I knew I'd never gig with it and I'd end up with two of the same guitar never leaving the house.







Chris Traynor's ESP Horizon Custom Shop from the 1997 H.O.A.R.D. US tour verified by Chris when he was active on the forum.

Cool collection. Too bad someone wrote all over a lot of it.

Regarding the Strap It On "Bad Moon" typo that you have on your vinyl version... my Strap It On CD has that too, and I've also wondered how many of those were issued.

Yeah, some guys with a permanent marker attacked them.
I might be wrong but I think he said there where about 100 vinyl pressings with the typo, so there probably aren't too many CDs. I might be way off the mark with that number but it rings a bell. I'll have to try to research it.
Hang on to the CD, pretty cool to have an early run copy.

Yeah, here's a pic of the Strap It On CD with the typo, followed by a couple other collection pics (the collection is more streamlined than it used to be).

Rad collection, Burkey!

Re. the Bad Moon typo...I don't know, both my vinyl copies have it, one is a Brazilian pressing, the other the German Glitterhouse pressing. Both must have come after the original so you would think they spotted the typo by then. But anyway, my CD copy has Bad Mood on it.

Cheers.

Maybe they never got around to fixing the typo.
They probably all have it LOL.

Even the 2011 repress have the bad moon typo...

There you go. I guess Page referred to the CD version then.

[Burkey]

AHHHHHH.

Fair enough then.
