I'm usually not into waiting on the long lines they have at those in-store signings; I did wait for Pete Rock to sign my 'Soul Survivor' LP when it dropped at Fat Beats (as you can see in the greenbacks post), but anything else I have signed is from meeting artists from radio or being here or there. I wasn't all that into getting autographs until I got a few records signed, now I always try and take the opportunity if it comes.
*None of the following were acquired through my attending these signings; they were all bought at record stores, conventions, and flea markets.
Pete Nice autographed this picture promoting his 'Dust to Dust' LP sometime around 1992/93. It would be nice to have Daddy Rich s autograph on here as well , but I guess he wasn't there. I like how they set them up lounging with some axes in the picture. They used to do some funny shit to market artists back in the day. I guess they still do sometimes.

This one is the Cocoa Brovas (formerly Smif N Wessun) with a promotional still from an in store signing at a place called Brooklyn Records. This was around the time of their 2nd release "Rude Awakening"

I caught this still inside of the promo only 12" for 'Spanish Harlem' featuring Tony Touch and Hurricane G, at A1 records a few years back. I had been looking for this one for a long time because of the unreleased track on here 'Drama' which wasn't featured on the 'Rude Awakening' LP.
i remember that day @ fat beats gettin our pete rock stuff signed. i got my poster signed and framed it. that was definitely a dope day. i also remember that hammer record. we were both dying after seeing that. thanks for posting it up again. haha...
