Description
I recently acquired a rare, original "press kit" from Andy Kaufman's legendary April 1979 performance at Carnegie Hall. The original "press kit" comes in a nondescript manilla envelope with "ANDY'S PRESS KIT BY HIS MOTHER MRS. STANLEY KAUFMAN" stamped on the front. The "press kit" consists of seven yellowed, PHOTOCOPIED sheets featuring various articles, show info, a drawing of a bus leaving Carnegie Hall en route to Famous Amos for milk and cookies--and a photo of Tony Clifton with handwritten instructions for audience members to ball up the photo and throw it at Tony Clifton on stage (a gimmick that has been noted by Bob Zmuda in one of his Kaufman books). The original "press kit" also came with a package of 40 year old jellybeans. This is a strange and rudimentary yet fun "press kit"--the likes of which is vintage Andy Kaufman.Considering that it consists of photocopied pages, the original "press kit" is a reproduction in and of itself.
I am not selling the original "press kit," but due to the rarity of this "press kit," I am offering a reproduction (of the reproduction).
You will receive...
--A reproduction on white paper of the manilla envelope featuring the stamp indicating that the "press kit" was produced by Andy's mother.
--Reproductions of the yellowed, photo copied "press kit" sheets.
--Eight pages total on standard white paper.
This is a rare opportunity to have a reproduction of the "press kit" from this now legendary Andy Kaufman show--and a really fun addition to any Andy Kaufman collection.
Each page of the reproduction has been stamped "copy" on the back.
