Description

A rare and insightful archive from the pre-digital era, this Obvious Gossip Spring 1992 bundle captures the craftsmanship behind k.d. lang’s official newsletter production. The set includes a signed edition of the Obvious Gossip newsletter, the original printing plates used to create it, and a production negative that played a crucial role in the layout process.


Before emails and online updates, fan newsletters were carefully designed, typeset, and printed through a meticulous process involving multiple production stages. These printing plates and negatives provide a fascinating look at the effort and precision required to bring each issue to life, making this a remarkable piece of music history.


Disclaimer:

The Obvious Gossip newsletter and printing plates are signed by k.d. lang and feature a gold OVD, as a TRuEST™ authenticator was on-site to witness the signing. The included newsletter negative is the only unsigned piece and features a silver OVD to verify its authenticity.

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 industry standard and comes backed by a money-back guarantee. TRuEST™ replaces old-school certificates of authenticity with immutable provenance stored on the blockchain, clearly showing 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 tamper-resistant OVD holograms.


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.
