Autumnwatch Album Covers
eBay auction for Chris's Autumnwatch album covers (cue cards). Proceeds to BBC's Children in Need.
There are 8 sets of 4 album cover cue cards - one set per Autumnwatch programme. They will be auctioned on eBay commencing 14 December.
The cards are low resolution images as scanned and used by Chris. In most cases there is nothing written on the back of the cards. Chris has personally signed each of the cards.
Set 1 from Programme 1:
The Clash: London Calling (the Punk Stones finest?)
The Beastie Boys: Licensed To Ill (still fighting for my right)
The Selecter: Too Much Pressure (from little sis)
The Clash: Give 'Em Enough Rope (the difficult second album defined)
.................................
Set 2 from Programme 2:
