Rare and desirable Street Survivors album signed on the inner gatefold in ballpoint by all seven pictured members: "Ronnie Van Zant," "Steve Gaines," "Allen Collins," "Gary Rossington," "Bill Powell," "Leon Wilkeson," and "Artimus [Pyle].” This album was obtained at a signing at the Altamonte Springs Mall in Altamonte Springs, Florida, on its release day, October 17, 1977, and just three days before Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ill-fated flight bound for Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The resulting crash took the lives of Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, and pilots Walter McCreary and William Gray. Collins, Powell, and Wilkeson are since deceased, leaving Rossington and Pyle as the band’s only surviving original members. With only a three-day window between the date of its release and the date of the tragic plane crash, fully signed Street Survivor albums are few and far between. This beautiful, highly displayable example is the first we have ever offered, and it will likely be years before we see another. Comes with a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Letter of Authenticity and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
