STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN - "LAST CALL" LITHOGRAPH SIGNED BY PHOTOGRAPHER

Description: STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN - "LAST CALL" LITHOGRAPH AUTOGRAPHED / SIGNED BY PHOTOGRAPHER W.A. WILLIAMS! THIS IS FROM THE ORIGINAL EDITION OF 2500! DO NOT BE MISLEAD - THE EDITION OF 2500 PRINTS WAS RELEASED BY BILLY PERSONALLY AND HE NEVER MADE MENTION TO ME OF ANOTHER BEING RELEASED. ATTENTION: DO NOT GET SCAMMED! THE RELEASE OF 2500 PRINTS IS, WAS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN THE VERY FIRST PRESSING BILLY PRINTED AND RELEASED! THIS IS THE PRINT HE GAVE ME AND WAS EXTREMELY PROUD OF - HE NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT A LATER PRESSING HOWEVER IT IS POSSIBLE. ALSO - BEWARE OF THE FRAUDS THAT STOLE THIS IMAGE AND PRINTED FRAUDULANT COPIES! BILLY WAS A FRIEND I SPOKE WITH FREQUENTLY IN THE LATE 90'S AND EARLY 2000'S. HE WAS FURIOUS AND WAS HITTING A WALL WHEN TRYING TO PURSUE ACTION AGAINST WHOEVER STOLE THE IMAGE. I LOST TOUCH PRIOR TO HIS FALLING ILL AND WAS NEVER ABLE TO FIND OUT HIS PROGRESS IN GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. BOTTOM LINE - KNOW WHO YOU ARE PURCHASING FROM. I RECEIVED MY PRINT FROM BILLY PERSONALLY. I have this listing cross promoted on our old account as well to raise awareness of the fraudulant prints that are known to exist and will be removed after it is sold. William, or Billy, as many knew him, took this photo that was used in MANY famous and well-known publications. After speaking with him I was told that it was just one of those shots that every photographer dreams of getting! A sweetheart of a man who invited me out to see the Allman Brothers on a couple occasions. Sadly, Billy passes away last year… a genuine spirit who had a beautiful eye for 'the shot' and lover of Rock & Roll, Billy was really a truly gifted Rock ' Roll fan who managed to document many one-of-a-kind images. This particular picture he snapped really defines the man all true Rock & Roll fans have grown to not only love, but most deservedly have accepted as the one and only true rock & roll guitarists of our time! Stevie Ray Vaughan did not just PLAY the music... He bled the chords!!! To say this print is rare is a huge understatement! The hand signed lithographs that were signed by Billy were printed on a very heavy paper stock and VERY LARGE prints as lithographs go. All of the hand signed and numbered prints were sold by Mr. Williams many years ago and sold out in quite a short period of time. It was framed to specifications only a museum would demand with the use of acid free materials and UV Protective Glass and I am going to start the bidding off at the most recent auction sale price! The framing on this is absolutely incredible and the pictures do it no justice.... you will not be anything short if impressed when you see the attention to detail and extra effort that went into the framing of this! The limited-edition lithograph was signed by W. A. "Billy" Williams who took the photo in Columbus, Ohio in 1989 on October of 1989. It is not the cheap fraudulent poster or unsigned lithograph... It is the hand signed lithograph released by W.A. Williams himself! The item has been stored in a climate-controlled storage facility that I have literally outgrown and it's time to sell a few items. This particular piece is a MUST for any Stevie Ray Vaughan fan! I hope this goes to a great home... This is a one-of-a-kind item and the framing alone cost me 368.00. Framed to museum quality standards using acid free materials and UV Glass. Extra listing deleted once item sells. Shipping will be $82.50 and packaged very well, shipped with tracking and signature required as well as insured for the full auction closing bid. Good Luck! ABOUT ME: I have worked in the live / touring music business since 1986... over 37 years now. In that time, I have amassed a collection of items like none other and am now offering a small portion of my items to the public. What you are bidding on is an item that was actually signed by the band / artist, and it is as real as it gets (unlike most of what I see online). If you are looking to purchase something authentic - here is your chance. It will pass any authentication process you wish and is as rare as it gets. I went so far as to literally catalog everything I collected at a particular concert that evening or following day of the event, going so far as to keep an actual journal for over 30 years with meticulous notes. I look forward to finding good homes for these pieces... It breaks my heart to sell them, but I must part with some of them as I have literally run out of storage and refuse to rent a larger unit. All of these items have been stored in a temperature-controlled storage facility and the framed items were custom framed by a professional framing company to museum quality standards using Acid Free materials and UV / Museum protective glass. Shipping charges cover all packing materials including shipping with tracking and insurance for the full purchase price. Every effort is made to ensure your item gets to you in perfect condition with extreme precautions taken using bubble wrap and proper shipping boxes used. The insurance / tracking numbers are provided immediately after shipping in the extremely rare event any damage should occur in transit. Thank you for your interest.... It's been a lifelong passion of mine preserving these items and the kind words and appreciation mean the world to me.
