Featured in this lot is an exceedingly rare set of 33 black & white negatives (complete with an original contact sheet) of Ian Mitchell taken well before he joined the Bay City Rollers. The photos most likely were made late 1974 or early 1975 but unfortunately we have not been able to find the records that match up with the occasion. That said, it's a phenomenal set and certainly something that deserves to be labeled 'RARE'.
Please note that all 35 millimeter black & white negatives in this lot do include full transfer of ownership rights. The winning buyer of this lot will, upon full payment and clearing of funds, receive a legally binding agreement from - and signed by - the current owner of the materials as offered in this lot, granting the new owner full title and complete ownership rights. For more information about (the content of) this agreement and ownership rights, please contact Backstage Auctions, Inc.
The negatives featured in this auction lot are generally in excellent condition. They have been preserved in a climate controlled environment and were stored in their original acid-free pocket envelops. Also note that the negatives as seen in this lot have, for the purpose of this auction, been photographed from an illuminated light box, which creates a slight blurriness and graining. In actuality, these negatives are of significant higher quality and clarity. |
