Original music archive from musician Sam Skinner spanning his work with multiple groups in the 1960s and 1970s. Materials relate to Family Affair, The Poets, Total Eclipse, The Apollos, and Big Jim's Border Crossing, along with another early group from his youth.
The collection includes contracts, a homemade tour book, promotional materials, Billboard charts, photographs, 45 records, and a few autographs. The 45 records are in rough condition, with many unplayable, including one that is broken and another that is heavily warped. Items show varying wear across the collection.
This archive comes directly from Samuel Skinner’s estate and represents a single-owner collection.
