Multi-Signed Vinyl LP Album: Hand-Signed by Six Lynyrd Skynyrd Members (Skynyrd's First and... Last.)
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of Southern rock history, Jacksonville guitar lore, and 1970s vinyl record memorabilia: an official MCA Records stereo vinyl LP pressing of Skynyrd's First and... Last., multi-signed across the front jacket by six prominent current and past members of Lynyrd Skynyrd—guitarist Ricky Medlocke, guitarist Ed King, founding drummer Bob Burns, founding guitarist Gary Rossington, drummer Artimus Pyle, and bassist Billy Powell.
Released in September 1978, Skynyrd's First and... Last. serves as an essential archival compilation compiling the band's unreleased early Muscle Shoals Sound Studio recordings from 1971 to 1972. Compiled following the tragic 1977 plane crash, the album documents the formative evolution of Lynyrd Skynyrd before their breakthrough debut, introducing early versions of classics including "Down South Jukin'," "Comin' Home," and "Was I Right or Wrong."
This original 12" MCA Records LP release (MCA-3047) features a central black-and-white vintage photograph of the early band lineup framed against a warm red-to-yellow gradient background.
Across the front jacket artwork surrounding the central photo print, six influential band members have rendered distinct autographs in ink marker:
-
Ricky Medlocke ("Ricky Medlocke" in black marker, upper left)
-
Ed King ("Ed King" in blue felt-tip marker, upper right)
-
Bob Burns ("Bob Burns" in black marker, center left)
-
Gary Rossington ("Gary Rossington" in black marker, lower center)
-
Artimus Pyle ("Artimus Pyle RVZ~" in black marker, lower right)
-
Billy Powell ("Billy Powell" in black marker, bottom left)
Accompanied by an official Basic Certification card from James Spence Authentication (JSA) (#CF61323), with a matching serialized tamper-evident database label affixed directly to the lower left corner of the reverse jacket sleeve.
Preserved in fine vintage condition with vibrant cover colors, light edge wear typical of age, clean reverse sleeve panels, an included original 12" vinyl disc, and six dark ink signatures, this multi-signed album serves as an essential centerpiece for Southern rock archivists, classic guitar collectors, and 1970s vinyl historians.
