    Description

    Willie Nelson’s album,  “…..Greatest Hits (& Some That Will Be”  encompassed his hits from 1974 – 1980.  As you can see on the closeup photo of the Side 1 ORIGINAL label in the photo,  the 4 labels of this 2-album set were printed in 1981 when the album was released.  1)  The record labels and the cassette insert – none of which were ever used and are originals – are 40+ years old.  2)  The award that accompanied the hand-signed photo provided by Columbia to my father,  Ken Kittinger,  who made approximately 100  of this album's awards in 2002,  was to commemorate the sales of more than 4-million copies just in the U.S. alone at that time.   As always, Columbia like all other record labels,  provided my dad with or thousands  of freshly printed record labels over the years,  cassette inserts and other graphics for his use in making their awards which were sent to V.I.P.’s in gratitude for giving the album airplay or promotion.   When my father passed,  he left three very large truckloads of awards,  signed photos, and thousands of items of rare collectability and memorabilia in his workshop on Music Row where he was the legendary awards maker for 50 years.  You can authenticate his Music City contributions by Goggle’ing:   Ken Kittinger Gold Records.  Click on “images”  to see a few of his awards.
    THIS TWO FRAMED SET includes a hand-signed rather rare photo of Willie which was used on a long-ago retired poster with his iconic red bandana.  He signed several hundred and my father had about 50 left over from Columbia’s award mail-out.  I have just discovered these and decided to add the original labels of the album and the original cassette insert.   I do not believe you can find 40 year old UNUSED record labels or cassette inserts – scored but not bent to fit into the cassette case.  His workshop housed tens of thousands.  I cannot find any available on the Internet - ANYWHERE.
    This is a “WILLIE TREASURE”  and comes with a COA and a comparison of authenticated autographs you can use to compare yours to.   If by some improbable chance this original fails to pass a 3rd party authentication agency,  a full refund is guaranteed and you may keep all items.  Return postage is on me.
    I will continue to find previously undiscovered items of my father’s due to the unopened boxes in the three storage units housing his estate.  Keep checking my listings for new items and thanks for stopping by.
    Shipping is impeccable.
