While rock and roll has had its heyday and gone back into obscurity, it has left behind a long trail of memorabilia and records that are highly in demand from collectors. Ranging from artists in the 60s and 70s, such as the Beatles, to modern pieces such as Kurt Cobain's mohair cardigan. These pieces are iconic, and collectors who want to remember the artist, or maybe a particular song, are crying out for mementos that they can keep. Rockaway Records are keen buyers of rock and roll memorabilia, so if you have something that you think might be valuable, you need to get one of our team to give it a quick look over.
Art From The Past
One of the most popular pieces of memorabilia that we see are artworks connected with a particular band. This might be posters of the band, or record sleeves. Collectors are crying out for these, at least if they are in good condition, and if you are lucky enough to still own some of these types of collector's items, then you could make a good sale when you bring it to our team to examine. You should also be aware that there is a higher demand for collectors items when a band member or solo artist dies - for example when Prince died, collectors bought up everything they could, including items such as the jacket worn in Purple Rain, which was bought for $100,000. We don't suggest that you might have anything so rare or valuable, but you could still get a good price for anything that you do have.
What Type Of Memorabilia?
We are particularly interested in mementos from the rock and roll era, which can be stretched to as far back as David Bowie, and as far forward as Nirvana, for just two examples of popular collectors names. We also like our pieces to be in good condition, so if you have a dog-eared record cover which looks as though it has come from the damp part of your attic, then we might say no. If, however, you have a high-quality cover, complete with record, which has been looked after carefully for decades, then we might be keen to talk over its value, and give you a good price for your entire collection.
