DAVID BOWIE - Original "Liza Jane" Single DiscAn original test (first) pressing 7-inch record for "Liza Jane", the first single released by David Bowie in 1964. This disc comes from the collection of Mike Wakelin, bass player for 1960s British pop band The Naturals, who shared a manager with Bowie, Leslie Conn. Conn asked Wakelin to step in and play bass for Bowie's band the King Bees, so Bowie gave Wakelin this disc to help him rehearse. The pair performed as part of the King Bees on the BBC2 show The Beat Room in July 1964.The black disc displays an "Advision Sound Studios" label, with the song titles and the name "Tom Jones" printed on both sides. "Tom Jones" was one of two original stage names Bowie wanted to use, the other being "Davie Jones", but both were already taken. The disc comes with a plain die-cut sleeve, on which "The Naturals" is written in black pen. The disc and sleeve display general signs of age, including marks and discolouration. Also included is a black-and-white promotional image of The Naturals presented in a white card frame. Dimensions (disc): 18 cm x 18.25 cm x 0.1 cm (7" x 7 1/4" x 1/4")Estimate: £5,000 - 10,000 M Bidding for this lot will end on Friday, November 10th.

SEMENOFF, "Rasplata" (The Reckoning), John Murray, 1909. Blue boards with central paper lozenge. The book is in poor condition (but probably complete). The interest lies in the ephemera which comes with it. Firstly, pasted in, a letter headed 'Kensington Palace (Clock Court)' and dated '28 June 1917. Addressed to 'My Dear (Commander) Robinson...' (original owner of the book we surmise); it continues...'Many thanks for your kind help . Your letter has reached me here. Personally I am very glad of the change of name, but I never could have taken the first step. It was my name that drove me out of the admiralty'...(signature not fully decipherable). Also possibly the envelope addressed to the recipient (Charles N. Robinson) in which the pasted-in letter arrived. And then a signed letter from the publisher John Murray referring to Semenoff who had died in Russia. Murray's letter dated May 4th 1910. There is then a letter dated 19th June, 1909 from The Navy League from Benedict W. Ginsburg (editor of 'The Navy') on pictorially headed notepaper (Nelson etc.). He points out that the 'modern' sailor is very different from the 'untrained daredevil of Nelson's time'. The book is just about hanging together and the first two or three pages are detached. The interest may be in the accompanying ephemera.
A fine Queen’s South Africa Medal awarded to Driver J. Smith, Royal Horse Artillery, who was severely wounded whilst fighting with “Q” Battery in the ‘V.C. Action’ at Sanna’s Post Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 3 clasps, Relief of Kimberley, Paardeberg, Driefontein (76198 Dr. J. Smith. Q,B., R.H.A.) extremely fine £400-£500 --- Jacob Smith was born in East Hendred, near Wantage, Berkshire, on 6 December 1869. A labourer by trade, he attested at Woolwich for the Royal Artillery on 21 December 1889, serving at “A” Depot, Royal Horse Artillery, from 2 January 1890. Transferred to “L” Battery, Smith served in India from 23 September 1892 to 21 January 1898, before being recalled home. Recalled to service under Special Army Order of 7 October 1899, Smith joined “Q” Battery on 27 November 1899 and sailed for South Africa aboard the Manchester Corporation in December 1899. In action at Klip Drift on 15 February 1900, “Q”, “T” and “U” Batteries faced heavy shrapnel fire with approximately 21 officers and men killed or wounded. Situation restored by cavalry charge, Smith and the Gunners of “Q” Battery accompanied Brigadier General Broadwood to Thabanchu, but were ambushed at Sanna’s Post on 30 March 1900 in one of the most famous engagements of the conflict. Having behaved with great gallantry, and managing to save four of its guns from an apparently hopeless situation, the conduct of the battery was praised by Brigadier-General Broadwood in his report on the action. As a result of this report, Lord Roberts took the unusual step of ordering the battery to ballot for the Victoria Cross, to choose one officer, one non-commissioned officer, one gunner and one driver to receive the coveted award, there being no other fair way to choose four from so many who performed with such heroism on that day. As a result, Major Edmund John Phipps-Hornby, Sergeant Charles Edward Haydon Parker, Gunner Isaac Lodge, and Driver Horace Henry Glasock were each awarded the Victoria Cross. Smith’s name would have been in the ballot for the Victoria Cross to the ‘Driver’. Severely wounded during the action, Smith was invalided home on 22 June 1900, and was discharged from the Colours on 19 December 1901. In total, the British suffered 155 men killed or wounded at Sanna’s Post, with a further 428 men, 7 artillery pieces and 117 wagons captured. The Boers in comparison suffered 3 killed and five wounded, testament to the potency of ambush from well-concealed positions and the quality of Boer marksmanship. Sold with copied research.
