Blade's old blackbooks were recently sold to Microsoftie Paul Allen's Experience Music Project for an undisclosed amount. The contents are amazing, with full color pieces by Vamm, Slave, Cliff, Phase2 and many others from the mid 70's. There was some water damage to some pages over the years, but the ink that was used is still bright and vivid. Let's just hope they are available for viewing somehow. They were the oldest blackbooks for sale, and the oldest full color books I've ever seen.
