Autographed Vinyl Album: Hand-Signed by Leonard Cohen (Death of a Ladies' Man – JSA Letter of Authenticity)
This offering represents an extraordinary, museum-grade artifact of modern poetic literature, folk-rock history, and avant-garde pop lore: an original 1977 vinyl copy of Death of a Ladies' Man, hand-signed across the album jacket by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend, novelist, and poet Leonard Cohen (1934–2016).
Released via CBS Records / Columbia Records in November 1977, Death of a Ladies' Man stands as the fifth studio album and one of the most creatively ambitious, provocative, and fascinating entries in Cohen's entire catalog. Famously co-written and produced with legendary "Wall of Sound" architect Phil Spector, the album represented a radical sonic departure from the austere acoustic instrumentation of Cohen's earlier records, submerging his wry, baritone lyricism in sweeping orchestral arrangements, dense rhythm sections, and layered choral harmonies across landmark compositions like "Memories," "Iodine," and "Paper-Thin Hotel".
The record jacket—showcasing the iconic cover photograph of Cohen flanked by two women in a Montreal lounge—is hand-signed cleanly in blue fiber-tip marker across the center by Cohen:
"Leonard Cohen"
His signatures on vintage vinyl remain among the rarest and most elusive treasures in 20th-century music memorabilia. The autograph presents with vivid ink flow, exceptional contrast against his shirt, and sharp definition.
The piece has been thoroughly examined and certified authentic by James Spence Authentication (JSA), complete with a full, notarized Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and matching serialized tamper-evident certification label (No. YY17687) affixed to the reverse cover.
An essential, top-tier centerpiece for Leonard Cohen scholars, vinyl archivists, and collectors of fine autographed music artifacts.
