Mr.C auctions ‘Ebeneezer Goode’ codpiece for charity
The Shamen’s Mr.C is hosting, what is likely to be one of the more unusual charity auctions of the year as he puts up for sale the fetish-wear codpiece and harness famously worn during his 1992 Top of the Pops appearance for the single ‘Ebeneezer Goode’. Now 22 years later Mr.C has decided to auction up this piece of pop memorabilia for a very good charitable cause, that of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust UK, a charity that works tirelessly to make a difference to those living with Cystic Fibrosis.
The codpiece comes with a suitably anarchistic stuffing, as Mr.C explains, “Just before doing the first Top Of The Pops performance back in September 1992, I'd had some bad press from the Daily Star who were sensationalising the drug reference in their national daily smutty rag & also the indie inky Melody Maker had been running a weekly spoof attack on me as an annoying rapper (which many believe I was... lol). So I stuffed the cod piece with these 2 articles for the TOTP performance, which remain in the cod piece to this very day & will stay there as an exciting addition to this very sought after item.”
Mr.C will also be separately auctioning a one-off art print from his 2002 album ‘Change’ as well as a limited edition T-shirt, both of which have been signed.
The auction closes on Saturday 28th June and further information about this online event and the charity it supports can be found at https://www.facebook.com/events/508068122655953/
