      This unique, two-in-one artifact features handwritten lyrics written by Don Blackman for an unreleased song called “Emotions,” written on the reverse side of an original, and extremely rare, flyer promoting a pair of April 1976 appearances from the Weldon Irvine Ensemble at Gerald’s in Cambria Heights, Queens in support of Irvine’s Sinbad album for RCA Records. 

      Gerald’s is remembered as one of several Southeast Queens nightspots where a young Don Blackman and his Jamaica Kats crew honed their chops playing under the direction and supervision of Weldon Irvine. Sinbad was the first of Irvine’s albums to feature Don Blackman, and he was naturally featured in the ensemble at these gigs to support its release.

      Before you bid

      Before you bid:

      Please note that, on top of the final bidding price, you (the buyer) will be charged the following:

      • Buyer premium of 20% on top of the final hammer price. E.g. for a winning bid of $100, you will pay $120 plus shipping, insurance, and taxes. The buyer premium helps us invest in curation, appraisals, verification, content and platform development.
      • Shipping, packing, insurance & handling costs - see 'shipping' section below for more details
      • Import duties and taxes - these vary by location and are payable by the buyer upon delivery, if applicable
      Shipping & insurance

      Shipping method: All orders are shipped tracked.

      Insurance: For all orders over $200 we will include 1.3% on top of the hammer price to cover insurance.

      Packing: We work with trusted packing teams to ensure the best delivery of your items. This will be added to the final cost.

      Expected delivery: Item ships 2 weeks after auction closes. Delivery time varies by location.

      The bidding process

      We run a popcorn bidding process. This means that if you put a bid in within the last minute of the auction, the clock will extend for another 5 minutes. This allows everyone time to get their bids in fairly.
