We’ve been giving them a hard time all year so big props from Tone Deaf to EMI Music Australia for auctioning a collection of music memorabilia to aid in Queensland flood relief. Amongst the collection are signed albums and posters from the likes of Robbie Williams, Coldplay, Gold Charlotte, Miami Horror, The Cat Empire and Jet.

One of the more surprising items up for grabs is an electric chair! The rather ghoulish item was featured on the cover of the Hoodoo Gurus’ Electric Chair best of album, but we’re reassured it was a prop and isn’t in working order.

EMI says “An exciting find on our treasure hunt was the ORIGINAL Electric Chair prop (note PROP) that was used on the album cover shoot for the seminal ‘Electric Chair’ compilation album by the Hoodoo Gurus. This is a very special and one of a kind collector’s item which will no doubt be the source of delight to any massive Gurus fan.”

You’ve got another eight days or so to bid on the items – check out the eBay listings here: http://shop.ebay.com.au/emimusicau/m.html
