The devastating floods in Queensland has resulted in death and destruction, but generous donations by Australians will go a long way to assist victims of this tragedy.
One company – EMI Music Australia – has trawled its offices for ‘exclusive, signed and money-can’t-buy’ items to be auctioned to raise money for the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal.
This is a rare opportunity to bid for that valuable signed album from your favourite artists including limited edition vinyl, CDs, posters and other exclusive items which have unearthed in the search for this much-needed cause.
The auctions will be held via eBay on EMI Music Australia’s account – http://shop.ebay.com.au/emimusicau/m.html with all monies raised going to The Premier’s Flood Relief – http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html.
Items include (but are certainly not limited to) the original and actual electric chair used on the cover for the classic Hoodoo Guru’s album ‘Electric Chair’ through to a vintage Triple J hottest 100 plaque awarded to the Virgin team for sales of the 2nd Triple J Hottest 100 CD; an ultra limited edition signed Air vinyl box set; signed block mounted posters and CDs by numerous celebrities; various merchandise items, and vinyl from the likes of Hot Chip, Arcade Fire and Massive Attack.
