Forget Your Perfect Autograph - Leonard Cohen Signs Off

Dominique BOILE assures me these three scrawled autographs on the covers of the digitally remastered CDs released in February 2007 are authentic, albeit imperfect, Leonard Cohen signatures.

How can Dominique be so confident the signatures are authentic?  Well, that's him on the right watching Leonard Cohen signing those CDs on July 11, 2007 in Paris.

Dominique also assures me he has a batch of CDs, magazines, photos, etc, all of which bear more recognizable - and more legible  - versions of the Canadian singer-songwriter's autograph.

 

Leonard Cohen Autographs From 2012 Paris Event

Dominique BOILE not only shot and shared those superb photos of Leonard Cohen, Dominique Issermann, and Robert Kory attending the January 16, 2012 Paris promotion of Leonard Cohen's Old Ideas album (see  Exclusive Photos - Leonard Cohen, Dominique Issermann, & Robert Kory, Paris  and  More Exclusive Photos Of Leonard Cohen In Paris),  but also acquired a set of signatures from the Spin Doctor For The Apocalypse (Leonard Cohen, AKA … – The Nicknames, entry #34).

I've included the cover from the 45 RPM record of  "Dance Me To The End Of Love" and "If It Be Your Will" (atop  this ost) because it's one of my own favorite pieces of cover art.

 The signed napkin below is, of course, an autograph classic.

And, the autographs of both Tony Palmer (Director of the Bird On A Wire film documentary) and Leonard Cohen (subject of that film) make the inclusion of the folder of the Bird On A Wire  materials an easy choice.
