Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Signed vinyl poster & radio station plaque

Description: 14.5” square plaque ABC/Shelter Records Vinyl poster 40” x 39” poster ABC/Shelter Records 45 years old poster, 46 year old plaque JSA Authentication for 5 autographs - Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, Stan Lynch, Benmont Tench, Ron Blair One of a kind offering of two rare, not available to the general public, Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker promotional pieces for the radio and record industry from the beloved rock and roll radio station WCOZ-FM 94 ½ Boston, Massachusetts. 8th Floor Studio, 441 Stuart Street, Boston, MA. The plaque was created as a thank you to radio stations for playing the first Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album. The album had not yet received gold status however ABC wanted to thank the stations for their help getting wonderful airplay for Breakdown. (The plaque for a different radio station is featured on page 74 of Jon Scott’s book; Tom Petty and Me. If it wasn’t for ABC PR man Jon Scott loving Tom’s music you may have never heard of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Jon Scott single handedly got Breakdown played again on Rock Radio 8 months after it had been first released on Nov 9, 1976.) The Autographed Poster – (JSA Authenticated) The 40’ x 39” vinyl poster was created to advertise the You’re Gonna Get it album for record stores. Jon Scott got the band together to sign 100 of these posters to send to radio stations and a few rock magazines around the country. After signing about 50 of them the band was tired and had to leave the ABC offices in Los Angeles for a sound check and a practice session. (They were getting ready to do a big arena concert in Stanford, CA) After the band left, Jon Scott addressed all To: (radio station call letters). I have a text from Jon stating that providence. These posters are very rare to find. This poster is well loved, but still together after 45 years. There are a few tears around the edges. This poster should be framed to last another 45+ years. I have added photos of all of the edges where there is a tear of a missing piece. There are two small scratches on the back of the poster where some of the printed vinyl is missing however they are not tears. I have had both of these treasures in my possession for 43 years. It is time they find a new home to be rare treasured collectables. Unless a radio station still has both of these, this auction is for the only two addressed to the same radio station in the world. It is truly a one of a kind package to have both radio promotion pieces from the same iconic radio station from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on ABC Records.
