Live Aid 1985 signed poster – £3400 at Excalibur.
Original posters (there are several designs) are not too hard to find but this example, offered at the Movie & Music Memorabilia sale at Excalibur (30/27% buyer’s premium inc VAT etc) on April 25, carries three authenticated signatures: those of the poster artist Peter Blake and those of Midge Ure and Bob Geldof, the organisers of the event.
A great memento of ‘the global juke box’, it took £3400 (estimate £250-350) from a buyer using thesaleroom.com.
In 2015 Bonhams sold a similar poster carrying the signatures of many of the performers at the Wembley concert for £3800.
