Festival Records – the Murdoch owned record label which acquired Mushroom Records back in 1997 – is selling off a load of memorabilia following the closure of one of their studio complex. Festival was founded in the early fifties and as well as signing home grown acts they represented many other international artists in Australia - so they own a lot of musical history, plenty of which is included in the sale. There are items from numerous artists in the sale including Barry White, Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warwick, Don McLean, Divinyls, Garbage, Grace Jones, Jason Donovan, Joe Cocker, Mental as Anything, Nick Cave, Robert Palmer, Roy Orbison, Shirley Bassey, Sting, Supertramp, Tina Turner and many more. The bad news is that as far as we can make out you’d have to go to Sydney to bid! But if you interested check http://www.graysonline.com.au/sale.asp?SALE_ID=5428#SaleInfo
