Hi Guys-

      I have a vintage B-52's signed LP with all five original band members signatures on it. I have no doubt that "Fred" (far left) is authentic, but Keith (2nd from left) is only vaguely similar to other examples I've seen (see additional pics below). Additionally, I've never seen Cindy (top center) abbreviate her name ("Cin"). My hope is bolstered though by Ricky's signature (2nd from right), which is very rare (as he died leaving few examples), but who's signature looks very similar to earlier examples (see 2nd and 4th pics below). Finally, I've never seen Kate (far right) print her name rather than use cursive. Lastly, I have added a VERIFIED example of this very same LP signed by all members (minus the rare Ricky sig) for comparison (see last pic #5).

      So to conclude, I have reason to believe that at least two signatures are authentic, while three others are questionable. Is this a partially (authentically) signed LP that someone has embellished with additional "signatures" to potentially increase it's resale value, or is this an authentically signed LP displaying slightly alternate examples of their signatures? Anyone here have any experience with these band members and their signatures? Does it look like these examples were possibly written by the same hand(s)? All opinions will be greatly appreciated. -Syren
