Expressandstar.com is reporting:
A former rock drummer is planning to write a book about his unorthodox life as he today told of his decision to sell off his treasured collection of rock memorabilia.
The avid music fans collection will go under the hammer at auction on Saturday. They include exclusive recordings of legendary star OZZY OSBOURNE. Items taken from the personal collection of Barry Spencer Scrannage, a drummer who worked alongside Ozzy after he left BLACK SABBATH, are among the latest pieces to be offered up for sale.
The items on sale in Stourbridge include the iconic crucifix used for lighting for Sabbath tours in the 1970s.
There are also programmes, posters and photos up for grabs, as well as two exclusive tape recordings.
One of the tapes features recordings of Ozzy and his first wife Thelma made at his Birmingham home in 1979 where Mr Scrannage lived with the veteran rocker. The other features John Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN).
Mr Scrannage, who moved to Stourbridge more than 20 years ago and used to run the Rock Tavern in Hill Street, Brierley Hill, met the stars through his own musical career which started out in a band with Glenn Tipton, now famous as part of JUDAS PRIEST.
The memorabilia will be sold by Fieldings Auctioneers, based in Mill Race Lane, Stourbridge, as part of their Christmas Sale on Saturday.
