Very early and imposing color 8 x 9.75 paperstock group publicity photo of the band posing with skulls, candles, and a large pentagram flag, signed and inscribed in black ballpoint “Martha Yaaahh, Tommy Lee, T–Bone,” “Hi Martha, Kick ass all the time, Vince Neal,” and “Nikki Sixx,” and in blue ballpoint, “To Martha, Shout at the World, Mick Mars.” The recipient of the photo was a booking assistant and stage manager at Studio Instrument Rentals where the band rehearsed and the signatures were acquired between February and May of 1982, before they signed with Elektra Records. In fine condition. An extremely early example as the band had been together for only a little longer than a year and had yet to be signed to a major record label. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
