Earls Court Concert Program- Real or Repro?

[zeptangerine]

Hi! I have a question. My brother just purchased an Earls Court Concert Program 1975 from Ebay, and I am questioning its authenticity. I looked at it and when I saw Bonzo's photos, I almost lost it. There is a tiny gear-like wheel over his right eye on both of his photos; it's very spooky. I told my bro it's a fake, and he said it was the real thing. Can someone with expert knowledge confirm what the REAL Earls Court 1975 program looks like??

Thanks!

HOLY HELL it IS for real? Why would someone deliberately print Bonzo out that way? It's a wonder Peter Grant didn't get a hold of these things on night 1 and toss 'em in the bin. I'm still really spooked, and what's worse, I have to eat crow.

Thanks for your help,

You never know. Maybe he wanted it that way.

The gear wheel on Bonzos eye was in the original. I saw them at Earls Court had the programme until recently, definitely remember the gear wheel.

My guess is it is to do with the whole clockwork orange thing that Bonzo was obsessed with at the time (it was banned in the UK) his stage gear was from the movie too.......so he probably requested it.
