Q A

Agreat for a collection of rock and pop memorabilia. Two really great finds would be sticks signed by Keith Moon Sticks of The Who and John Bonham from Led Zeppelin. I think the sticks you have are worth around £100 or so and the photo, maybe £200. I have a collection of old 78 rpm records from the 30s to 40s. There are so many I don’t know where to start and wondered if they can ever be valuable today?

Sadly, more than 90 per cent of all 78s have no real commercial value. The ones to look out for tend to be operatic, in a foreign language and single-sided (from 18981923). There are only perhaps 500 collectors who buy these rare examples. The Holy Grail is early 20th Century singer Angelica Pandolfini. She made four records and only three have surfaced I understand. They could be worth up to £1,800.
