Own Some Authentic Rock History
• Cleveland radio icon John Gorman recently cut a deal with Backstage Auctions to sell his extensive collection of rock and roll memorabilia. This amazing collection, which spans over 50 years, includes gold and platinum album awards from The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Boston, Journey, Guns ‘N Roses, Queen, The Clash, David Bowie, The Police, Linda Ronstadt, No Doubt, Bad Company, and dozens more. The collection also includes awards and other collectables from The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, U2, Heart, Neil Young, and many others, along with tour jackets from the J. Geils Band, Stevie Nicks, L.A. Guns, and an autographed leather motorcycle jacket signed by the band’s 1991 line-up.
Naturally, because of Gorman’s long history with the legendary WMMS, he has a ton of rare WMMS Buzzard collectables, including staff jackets from 1975 and 1978 (10th anniversary) and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, including its groundbreaking and opening.
Gorman notes, “Most of this collection has traveled with me through seven homes, a dozen offices, and three states. Over the years, I even leased some of the collection to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for special theme exhibits. I’ve treasured and displayed this memorabilia for most of my adult life. But for the last couple of years I felt it was time to part with and allow my collection to shared with those who will treasure them in the way I have — and own a piece of Cleveland rock and roll history.”
The auction runs through Saturday night — the complete list of items is online now. Place your bid and get ready to take home a piece of rock history!
