ANONYMOUS Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Items 71-74 might be of particular interest to this forum but some of the other items are fascinating, as well, albeit pricey. I always thought the white jacket was an earlier version of the poppy or dragon jacket. I wonder how Chris Farlowe came to own it (edited to add, the catalogue says he got it from a roadie.) Preston photographs are the best but I wonder which other two are part of the group.

SteveAJones Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Chris may well have gotten it from a roadie, as the catalog apparently states, but I can easily imagine Jimmy giving it to him somewhere along the way. They had of course recorded together in the mid-'60s. In the late '60s Jimmy used to acquire Civil War memorabilia from Chris, who was an enthusiastic collector. Certainly their most well known connection is the Outrider album and tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched an American cable documentary about him, "Living in the Material World" directed by Martin Scorsese. He was always my favorite Beatle and made more so by the movie. I wish Scorsese was a Zeppelin fan -would love to see what he would do with a documentary about them. p.s. A poster ($3,125) and the white jacket ($12,000) sold.

54Tangerine Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The Sotheby's catalogue also featured several fine Joini Mitchell watercolours and drawings. Wasn't Jimmy sweet on Joni back in the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
