Roundup Spring 1989 Signed Bundle Newsletter, Printing Plates & Negative
An incredibly rare behind-the-scenes look at the making of k.d. lang’s official fan newsletter. This bundle includes an original Roundup Vol. 2 No. 1 Spring 1989 issue, two production printing plates, and a printing negative—each signed by k.d. lang.
Description
Before emails and social media, crafting a fan newsletter was an art form—one that took careful planning, expert craftsmanship, and labor-intensive printing techniques. This Roundup Vol. 2 No. 1 Spring 1989 bundle provides an ultra-rare look into that process, capturing the meticulous work that went into producing just a single issue of k.d. lang’s official fan publication.
This set includes:
The original printed newsletter, which features tour updates, studio insights, and career highlights from 1989.
Two metal printing plates used in production, preserving the painstaking craftsmanship behind every page.
A printing negative, an essential part of the pre-digital printing process.
The newsletter and both printing plates are signed by k.d. lang and feature a TRuEST™ gold OVD, verifying that a TRuEST™ authenticator was on-site to witness the signing and confirm her direct participation. The printing negative is not signed and features a TRuEST™ silver OVD to verify its authenticity.
For collectors and music history enthusiasts, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a piece of the hands-on creative process that brought k.d. lang’s world directly to her fans.
Disclaimer:
Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique production wear that highlights its authenticity as an original printing artifact.
TRuEST™ Authentication
The Realest™ empowers partners in sports, music, and film with the industry's most advanced authentication and marketplace technology. As forgeries grow more sophisticated with deepfakes and other emerging threats, protecting the integrity of physical memorabilia has never been more critical. Traditional authentication standards carry significant risk, but The Realest™ takes a proactive approach—partnering directly with teams, artists, and studios to source items at the origin.Our multi-layered, witness-based authentication process—TRuEST™—sets a new standard in the industry, backed by a money-back guarantee. TRuEST™ replaces traditional certificates of authenticity with immutable provenance stored on the blockchain, transparently displaying population data, creation dates, and key item details. This information cannot be altered, backdated, or hacked and remains accessible at all times.
Each item is uniquely fingerprinted using our patent-pending covert markings and holographic technologies, including a tamper-resistant OVD hologram. These security measures ensure The Realest™ can verify authenticity with absolute certainty—now and in the future—while detecting any attempts to alter or counterfeit items using undisclosed, cutting-edge security methods.
