Original Armored Saint 1984 Chrysalis Records Promotional Photo – Fully Signed by All 5 Original Members
Because pioneering guitarist Dave Prichard tragically passed away in 1990, fully signed items featuring his signature are exceptionally rare and highly sought after by music collectors worldwide. The gold marker provides an excellent, lasting contrast against the classic black-and-white promotional imagery.
Historical Context: This is the band's very first official promotional photo commissioned by Chrysalis Records immediately after signing in 1984. It dates right back to the launch of their iconic debut album March of the Saint. The band themselves highlighted this exact photo shoot from their vaults as their official "first promo pic just after getting signed to Chrysalis". Finding a complete set of signatures from this exact breakthrough year (1984) is a true rarity for collectors.
Provenance: Obtained years ago directly from a former staff member of an independent music publication active during the 1980s.
Condition: Good vintage condition. The front and the gold signatures are excellently preserved. The reverse side shows some remnants of vintage adhesive tape, consistent with its historical archival use in a music press office. The front imagery remains entirely unaffected. 25,50 x 20,50 cm
Authenticity: While no formal third-party COA is present, the signatures match perfectly with official archival photos shared by the band on their verified platforms.
Our Guarantee: We stand 100% behind the authenticity of this item. Should it ever fail inspection by a recognized third-party authentication authority (such as PSA/DNA, JSA, or Beckett), we offer a full, unconditional money-back guarantee.
Shipping: Ships worldwide, carefully packed in a protective toploader and heavy cardboard, fully insured with online tracking.
