AC/DC/Where can I find/purchase 4 AC/DC Programs

Advertisement


Question
Hello Bill,
My name is Jenny Ogle and my husband is a die-hard AC/DC fan.  He needs 4 very rare and I am quite sure hard to find tour programs.
I was wondering if you could help me in my search for these programs, or point me in the right direction as to where I could possibly find these programs?
Here are the names of the 4 programs that he needs to complete his collection.  Since Christmas is coming up, I would like to surprise him with a least one if not more of these programs for a Christmas present.

1. THE RECORD BREAKERS '76
2. UK TOUR AUTUMN '76
3. AUSTRALIAN TOUR DEC. '76
4. U.S. TOUR '83 (FLICK OF THE SWITCH)

Again, any help that you can give me would greatly be appreciated.  Thank you again, and I hope that you have a nice day.

Sincerely,
Jenny Ogle

Answer
Hello Jenny,

The tour programs that you mention are extremely rare items, and would be quite difficult to find.
The best best is to keep a constant eye on online auction sites such as Ebay. You might want to also try a subscription to the Record & Music collectibles magazing "Goldmine" (Krause Publications), and perhaps place wanted ads in there. Lastly, you might want to try going to record & music memorabilia collections, however, unless you are attending them in the UK or Australia, it is highly doubtful that you would find any of these.

The US Tour 83 program would be the easiest of them to locate, and turns up on Ebay from time to time.
The UK Autumn tour 76 is ultra rare, but has been on online auctions in the past.
The others are very scarce.
Good luck in your search!

Best Regards,
Bill
