Is there any interest in original memorabilia?

Is there any interest in original memorabilia? Depends on what you have.

Only 2.5 years later ...
... this reminded me that I bought the mono Sgt Pepper when it was released here in the UK, back in May 1967. At the time I also listened to the off-shore pirate radio station Radio London, especially John Peel's Perfumed Garden. It was Peel that turned me on to so many of the US bands: Country Joe & The Fish, Capt Beefheart, and Velvet Underground (who I loved so much that I bought the 1st album as an import. Cost me 45 shillings instead of 32 shillings and six pence - or £2.25 instead of £1.625). During the summer of 1967 it became obvious that the government was going to shut the pirates down. JP suggested we all make badges with Perfumed Garden written on them. Having little imagination I used the inserts from the album. Once I owned a stereo hi-fi I bought the stereo Pepper and gave the mono version to a girlfriend. Who knew that 50 years later, this sort of thing would be worth money? Not that I would sell anything like that.
