Autographed Platinum Album: Hand-Signed by Rick Springfield
This entry showcases an authentic piece of 1980s power-pop and arena rock history: an original 1983 vinyl LP pressing of Living in Oz, hand-signed on the front cover by Grammy Award-winning musician and actor Rick Springfield. Released in 1983 by RCA Records, this platinum-certified studio album marked a darker, guitar-driven musical evolution following his smash success with Working Class Dog.
Born in Australia, Rick Springfield achieved global superstardom in the early 1980s as both a pop-rock hitmaker and a household television star on General Hospital. Winning a Grammy Award in 1982 for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for his immortal #1 hit "Jessie's Girl", Springfield went on to score 17 Top 40 Billboard hits, sell over 25 million records, and earn a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Living in Oz stands among Springfield's most acclaimed albums, featuring the Grammy-nominated hit single "Affair of the Heart", the Top 20 hit "Human Touch", and fan-favorite tracks "Souls", "Alyson", and the title track "Living in Oz".
The front cover displays a moody portrait of Springfield wearing a leather vest. Positioned cleanly to the right of his face, Rick Springfield has rendered an authentic signature in black marker ("Rick Springfield"). Complete with its original RCA Records vinyl LP disc, the album comes authenticated with an official Basic Certification Card from James Spence Authentication (JSA) (Certification Number: FF66452). Showing light, age-appropriate handling consistent with its 1983 release, this autographed album serves as an essential centerpiece for 1980s rock collectors, pop archivists, and Rick Springfield fans.
