The Julien’s auction block is more than just a stage for headline-grabbing celebrity pieces; it’s where history is bought and sold. "REMIX: No Reserve Auction" offers collectors a rare and direct connection to pivotal moments across rock 'n' roll, R&B, and pop culture, and presents itself as a unique opportunity to acquire some of the truest tangible links to the music that shaped generations.

Julien’s has long been the highly trusted authority in the music memorabilia marketplace, and with experience and expertise, we've identified the standout rock 'n' roll lots that not only carry exceptional provenance but also represent crucial, often rebellious, turning points in popular music history. This is your chance to own authenticated artifacts from the pioneers and provocateurs who defined the sound of the 20th century.

The Genesis of Rock: From Little Richard to Johnny Cash

The foundation of modern rock 'n' roll is powerfully represented in two distinct yet equally significant pieces:

Little Richard Signed "Giant Rock & Roll Show" Concert Poster

This lot is a true time capsule. Dated May 11, 1956, the poster advertises a New Orleans show by a man who was arguably the single most explosive force in early rock. At this moment, Little Richard was changing the cultural landscape, pushing boundaries, and setting the stage for every performer who followed. The fact that the poster is signed by the icon himself, along with the certified authentication, makes it an anchor lot for any serious collector of rock's origins.

Johnny Cash Signed Color Still from "A Gunfight" (1971)

While known as the Man in Black, this item captures the star's foray into Hollywood. Signed simply and definitively by Johnny Cash, the still offers a tangible connection to the legend, proving that his artistic influence extended beyond music into film and broader Americana.

Punk's Revolution and the Ultimate Anti-Iconography

Moving from the genesis of rock to its most chaotic, rebellious peak, two Sex Pistols-related lots encapsulate the punk ethos:

Jamie Reid Signed "Never Mind the Bollocks" Poster (Limited-Edition)

The artist Jamie Reid is as crucial to the punk movement as the band itself. This is the instantly recognizable, oversized promotional poster for the Sex Pistols’ sole studio album—a fluorescent scream of anti-establishment graphic design. Being both signed and numbered (24/50) by Reid elevates this far beyond a standard vintage print. It's a piece of seminal graphic art that defined an entire cultural uprising.

Sex Pistols / Ronnie Biggs 1978 "No One Is Innocent" Promo Poster

This lot is rich with punk irony and political defiance. It promotes the single featuring Ronnie Biggs, the infamous Great Train Robber, who recorded his vocals while a fugitive in Brazil. This poster is less about music and more about the ultimate counter-cultural statement: partnering with a folk hero criminal to thumb their nose at the establishment. This kind of brazen provocation is what gives the lot its unique historical weight and collector appeal.

The Provenance of Superstars: Icons' Personal Archives

For deep-pocketed enthusiasts and discerning connoisseurs, items directly connected to the artists' daily lives and work are non-negotiable. This auction presents incredible lots from Kiss, Dusty Hill (ZZ Top), and Nancy Wilson (Heart).

Gene Simmons Handwritten 1998 Halloween "Psycho Circus" Setlist

This is the Holy Grail for any Kiss Army member. Handwritten setlists are rarely offered for public sale, representing a direct, unedited artifact from the mind of the Demon himself, showing the conceptual groundwork for one of their most theatrical performances at Dodger Stadium. The inclusion of songs later scrapped or reordered makes this an invaluable piece of performance history.

Dusty Hill's Vintage ZZ Top T-Shirts & Backstage Passes (Multiple Lots)

These lots come directly from the personal wardrobe and working files of the late, great ZZ Top bassist. These are not general band merch; the vintage t-shirts and the collection of backstage laminates—including passes from the 2007, 2010, and 2002 tours—are a poignant, tangible link to the "little ol' band from Texas" on the road. For many collectors, the provenance of a personal, working item from a legend like Hill surpasses the value of an autographed photo.

Nancy Wilson Signed Limited-Edition Prints (From Her Collection)

This lot offers a rare intersection of music and fine art, showcasing the Heart guitarist's skill beyond the fretboard. These signed and numbered prints, coming directly from Nancy Wilson's own collection, provide unique insight into her personal artistic sensibilities and are a must-have for fans of the rock pioneer.

The Modern Legends and Global Impact

Rounding out the collection are items from global superstars of the 20th century:

Michael Jackson Signed "Dangerous" LP Record Album

A simple, powerful artifact from one of the most successful albums of the 1990s. The direct signature from the King of Pop on the jacket remains a high-demand collectible, with certified authentication ensuring its place as an investment-grade lot.

Rick James Archive and T-Shirts (From Lisa Sarna)

With provenance from Lisa Sarna (of Rick James & The Stone City Band), these lots provide an intimate look at the "Super Freak's" career. The archive of physical media and the iconic "I love Mary Jane" T-shirt are a rare window into the legendary funk and R&B star's flamboyant touring and promotional life from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Lynyrd Skynyrd Dean Kilpatrick Mid-1970s Tour Itineraries

This is perhaps the most somber and historically significant "working" lot in the sale. These annotated itineraries from the band’s assistant road manager are tragically linked to the infamous 1977 plane crash. These documents offer an exceptionally rare, detailed look at the final touring schedules of the classic Lynyrd Skynyrd lineup, making them essential, moving artifacts of Southern Rock history.

Pop Culture Personified

The "Remix: No Reserve Auction" is truly a collector's landscape, offering everything from the foundation of rock 'n' roll to the personal working files of its modern legends. With every lot selling regardless of price, the opportunity to own these pivotal pieces of pop culture history is unprecedented. Which chapter of rock 'n' roll history will you claim?
