In 1988 Pantera would release it's first album "Power Metal," with a new lead vocalist named Phil Anselmo transforming the band into what many remember them as today. Offered here is an extremely rare c. 1988 "Power Metal" 7" x 9" promotional photo signed by all four members of the legendary Metal band: Phil Anselmo, Vinnie Paul, Dimebag Darrell and Rex Brown. With the band just coming together at this time, this is easily one of, if not the earliest known signed photo by the core members of the band to ever be offered. Adding to the allure of this offering is the seldom seen "Diamond Darrell" signature variation seen from Darrell Abbott. In 1990, Abbott would drop the nickname "Diamond Darrell" (after original Van Halen lead vocalist "Diamond" David Lee Roth) and assumed his more well known "Dimebag Darrell" nickname due to Van Halen lead singer David "Diamond" Lee Roth securing the nickname in the public light. Overall in good condition with multiple surface impressions and light staining. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
