February 18, 2011

On April 25, 1981 MÖTLEY CRÜE was opening for Y&T at The Starwood, and their manager at the time (Allan Coffman) hired Bell Piper to videotape the performance which featured the CRÜE's unrecorded cover of THE BEATLES 1966 classic "Paperback Writer". The song was dropped quickly thereafter and replaced with "Jailhouse Rock".

Dozens of MÖTLEY CRÜE collectables are featured are featured among the 84 auctions, including a newly added, promotional-only Umatic videotape master of the band's first two music videos ("Take Me To The Top" and "Public Enemy#1").
