Question

If You Want Blood LP (
Hi, it's great to know there are people like you out there to help and provide advise on AC DC memorabilia. There are allot of people waiting to take advantage of those getting into memorabilia collecting. I know, having been burnt in the past. Experience has taught me better over the years, however I still have much to learn. Over the years I have collected all types of rock memorabilia and do it for the enjoyment and not to profit. In fact I have never sold any item I have ever bought. To get to my question, for quite some time I having been searching for an authentic AC DC LP with Bon's signature. I bought one (Highway to Hell)LP from a very reputable company but it was lost (most likely stolen)in the mail. Luckily i had no problem whatsoever getting my money back from them. Unfortunately, they tell me it is extremely difficult to find another AC DC LP with Bon's signature. I recently came upon, and am now seriously considering purchasing an If You Want Blood LP with Bon's (Malcom, Angus, Phil, and Cliff)signature and wanted to seek your opinion if it's the "real thing"?? I asked the company selling this LP who authenticated it and for details on their "Lifetime Guarantee". The company states that they are a member of the UACC and that each of their items are 100% genuine and that is how they can offer a Lifetime Guarantee on every item they sell. They also state that the authenticity is from themselves who are standing members of the UACC. In your expertise is this LP the "real thing"?. In addition, they rate the condition of the album flat as average (7 to 9)? How much does this affect the overall value of the LP? Any advice you can provide, or any reputable authenticators you can list would be most appreciated as I want to make sure that I have piece of mind should I decide to purchase this LP. Thanks for your time and consideration. Cheers!

Answer
Hello again,

i answered on your mail (on my direct mailaccount).
This one looks very nice. Seems to me the signatures look as they have to...
Bon always made the 'lightning' between AC and Dc longer than all other members... and never wrote his last name on a signature...
So I can hope this is a real one.
