DALLAS, TX.- The 1969 Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar that Janis Joplin owned and used to arrange and record her classic anthem, Me and Bobby McGee, highlights a roster of rare screen-worn costumes, outfits worn by rock stars and a wig worn by Marilyn Monroe are among the most heavily sought-after lots in Heritage Auctions' Nov. 12 Entertainment and Music Memorabilia Auction in Dallas.

'This is an extraordinary collection of items that has enormous appeal to collectors and music lovers around the world," Heritage Auctions Director of Entertainment Margaret Barrett said. 'Not only were Janis Joplin, John Lennon and Michael Jackson iconic musicians who transcended the music world, but they also had their lives cut short, thereby making these items part of finite sets. These artists will be known around the world for generations to come, making these items of extraordinary value to collectors."

The enormously talented and influential Joplin's legend only grew after she died at just 27 years old in 1970. Joplin played the Hummingbird Gibson, with its sunburst finish, during the recording of Me and Bobby McGee, which was released posthumously on her Pearl album. Since her death, the guitar has been owned by Sam Andrew, a founding member of two bands – Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Kozmic Blues Band – and has been displayed at the Musical Instrument Museum in Scottsdale, Ariz. The lot also includes the original beige doily Joplin used to clean the guitar, a letter of provenance from Joplin's road manager and the instrument's original hard case.

Collectors who covet Beatles memorabilia have an opportunity to acquire an Autographed First Pressing of P.S. I Love You/Love Me Do 45 (est. $40,000). Signed on the 'B" (P.S. I Love You) side in black ballpoint pen, this rare copy is encased in a sleeve VG-E 6 with a tear at the label hole and is accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original owner for whom the signatures were obtained and certificates of authenticity from Tracks and Heritage.

A third musical legend featured in the auction is Prince, who personally played and approved a Special Prototype Schecter Diamond Series Cloud Guitar (est. $25,000) that is among the available lots. All of the metal hardware on this cobalt blue guitar – made in the 'Cloud" style made famous by the artist – is gold in color. The 22-fret fingerboard is decorated on the front with silver markers in the form of Prince's 'spade" symbol. The instrument, which is in very good condition, includes a padded gig bag. The instrument gained further notoriety in June 2016, when Sheila E. held the guitar aloft at the end of her Prince tribute performance at the BET Awards, symbolically offering the instrument to Prince. The guitar is accompanied by an equipment loan agreement signed by both the consigner and Sheila E.

One highly coveted item that is included in the auction is a Beatles Yesterday and Today Sealed Livingston First State Mono 'Butcher Cover" LP (est. $30,000). Release July 20, 1966, by Capitol Records, Yesterday and Today was as the ninth Beatles release in the U.S. from the company, its title given based on the inclusion of the hit Yesterday. The (in)famous 'butcher" photo was taken early in 1966 by Robert Whitaker and was titled A Somnambulant Adventure. Whether it was a Vietnam protest, a protest against Capitol 'butchering" their records, or something else entirely, the negative response to the photograph was swift and severe when it became the official cover for the album. The value of this LP is increased because of its excellent physical condition and the fact that it is one of the coveted 'Livingston" copies. It includes a signed letter from former Capitol Records president Alan W. Livingston in which he explains that although a decision was made not to release the album with the 'butcher album" cover, a single box of the Yesterday and Today albums with the controversial cover was taken off the press and given to him and kept sealed, thereby preventing any kind of exposure.

One of the most unique items in the auction is a lock of John Lennon's hair and autograph (est. $5,000). The strands are roughly 1.5-2 inches long and tied together with a piece of white ribbon, and stored in a polythene bag with another piece of ribbon that is signed in ink by Lennon. The hair and ribbon are framed with writing on the mat that reads: "Certificate / This is to certify / that this hair is / an original curl / of John Lennon. / Munich September 1966 / G. Thomas Beyl / BRAVO chief reporter." The frame also includes a poem written in German in black felt pen.

In 1966, John Lennon famously had his hair cut in preparation for his role as Gripweed in the movie How I Won The War. German magazine Bravo acquired some of Lennon's locks and gave them away as prizes in a poetry writing competition. The subject was the cutting of Lennon's hair and Barbara Lüttkopf was one of the lucky winners.

Another lock of John Lennon's hair sold at Heritage Auctions in February, 2016 for $35,000.

The auction includes almost 100 lots of items from the personal collection of legendary actor Ernest Borgnine, whose film, television, character and voice acting career spanned more than six decades. Highlighting the Borgnine collection are the cap he wore in the 1960s television show McHale's Navy, (est. $30,000), numerous scripts he used in films such as From Here to Eternity, The Wild Bunch and Escape from New York, and dozens of awards and citations presented to him over the years.

Other lots related to Hollywood's Golden Era include the blond wig worn by the legendary Marilyn Monroe as 'Roslyn Taber" (est. $20,000) in the star's last completed film, The Misfits, a collection of previously unseen color transparencies of James Dean on the set of Giant (est. $2,000), Maureen Stapleton's Golden Globe Award for the 1970 cult classic disaster film Airport, and one of Wayland Flower's original 'Madame" puppets (est. $12,000) that was used on countless television appearances throughout the 1970s and 1980s

Legendary musician John Lennon always will be known best for his time as a member of The Beatles, but he also was an experimental fiction author, and the auction includes the black hat he wore on the cover of his second book, A Spaniard in the Works (est. $20,000). The wide-brimmed felt hat, which includes a gilt stamp reading 'Fabricacion Selecta" inside, is accompanied by a May 25, 1984 affidavit signed by Dot Jarlett, Lennon's housekeeper during the 1960s.

Known as 'the King of Pop," Michael Jackson was revered for his singing, dancing, song writing and unique sense of style. Collectors now have an opportunity to acquire a pair of black, metal-rimmed aviator sunglasses (est. $8,000) Jackson wore on stage Sept. 8, 1984 during a Victory Tour performance in Denver. The sunglasses, which are identical to those Jackson wore at the 1984 Grammy Awards, were given to the Los Angeles Daily News, which subsequently awarded them to a fan during a contest run by the newspaper. The lot includes a non-original black satin bag and black hard case, as well as a portion of the Los Angeles Daily News from Nov. 23, 1984, featuring Jackson and the contest at which the sunglasses were given away.

Additional highlights include, but are not limited to:

• A stellar, private collection of concert posters, led by Velvet Underground And Nico Concert Poster "Andy Warhol Presents The Plastic Inevitable Show" (1966) (est. $6,000).

• Sammy Davis, Jr.'s Address Book, circa 1980s (est. $1,000).

• A National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Award for "Bonanza," 1965-66 (est. $1,000).
