My signed record album by Heart

Tweet

I mentioned to Four Walls recently that my only signed album is “Dog & Butterfly” by Heart. The date was September 21, 1978 when I got it autographed. At the time Heart was my favorite group and the first concert I attended. The Wilson sisters were as hot looking as they were talented. I knew someone in the Hollywood press who tipped me off that Heart was doing some press PR for the album and informed where and when. The now defunct Century Plaza was a huge hotel with a mammoth lobby. Heart was meeting the press somewhere on upper floors where I couldn’t go. So it was a matter of waiting in the lobby to hopefully see them (specifically the Wilson sisters) leaving. The expansive lobby was by the pool area and I got lucky as the band came down for photos. My break came when they sat in a row on benches. It was a matter of going member to member and getting the album signed. This was the originally Heart lineup: Michael Derosier, Howard Leese, Roger Fisher, Ann Wilson, Steve Fossen and Nancy Wilson. The signatures aren’t clear because they are in ballpoint but you can make them out in the pic.
