Billboard reports the private record collection of Joey Ramone is to go under the hammer, along with a selection of the late punk rock star’s iconic clothes, glasses, guitars, passport, handwritten lyrics, and even his Rolodex.
The record collection includes 97 pieces of vinyl up for sale, with titles from Led Zeppelin, the Who, T. Rex, Cream, Bob Dylan, Elton John, The Human League, Iggy Pop, KISS, the Doors, the Temptations, and the Ventures.
There’s a minimum bid of $500 attached to the record auction, which opens Feb. 14 and ends Feb. 21.
Several other items are also available, including Ramone’s personal Rolodex, which is “full of record companies, musicians, and agents,” and it includes business cards from Rock 'n' Roll High School producer Allan Arkush, Epitaph Records, EMI Records, Footlight Records, Geffen Records, and the artist’s personal Addicted to Noise card.
Ramone, who is identified in the passport by his real name Jeff Hyman, died in 2001 at the age 49.
The Joey Ramone Collection is available for auction here.
