ROD STEWART - ATLANTIC CROSSING, 1975

Original Warner Bros. promo poster, 15"x21.5"

Apparently commissioned by a panicking Warner Bros. under an overnight deadline after the original designer failed to deliver, Peter Lloyd produced a classic of 70's airbrushed album artwork.

Note hints of the styling he later brought to his work on the film 'Tron'.

Please inquire.

JIMI HENDRIX EXPLOSION - Martin Sharp, 1967

Published by Big O Posters Ltd 1973, 28"x36.5"

Moving from Australia to London, becoming 'OZ' magazine's Art Director, Martin Sharp soon became a defining artist of the era, finding the perfect visual expression for Hendrix's revolutionary sonic explosion. The image is based on a Linda McCartney photograph taken at the Rheingold Festival in Central Park, NY, July 1967.

thumbnail link to original U.S. Epic Records promo poster The Clash first album

THE CLASH, 1979.

Original U.S. 1st album Epic Records promo poster, 39"x17".
Photography by Penny Smith and Kate Simon.

The Clash's debut album was released in America in July 1979 many months after 'Give 'Em Enough Rope', CBS initially feeling it was too raw for radio play, hence the mixed-period photos on this poster, a blessing in retrospect as they are all classic images of the band. Penny Smith’s shot on the right is held in the National Portrait Gallery collection.
This unusual style of banner poster was unique to America for few years in the late 70s.

Please inquire.


original green version 24 x 24 inches CBS UK overseas promo poster, The Clash London Calling

THE CLASH - LONDON CALLING, 1979

Original CBS promo poster, 24"x 24".
Design by Ray Lowry.
Photography by Penny Smith.

This UK-printed poster doesn't feature the 'Two for a Fiver' tag, meaning it was most likely intended for promotion elsewhere in Europe, in particular Ireland.

Penny Smith had spotted Paul Simonon's growing frustration with the Palladium's audience that night and her attention enabled to her - whilst backing away! - to shoot the exact moment when the bass guitar came smashing down, capturing one of the defining images in rock history.
All original UK posters on the album are notably scarce.

Please inquire.

DIANA ROSS, 1973

Original Paris concert poster, 36"x24".

Diana Ross had enjoyed huge success with her portrayal of Billie Holiday in 'Lady Sings The Blues' the previous year (hence the white Gardenia). The soundtrack album reached No.1. Almost 50 years previously Josephine Baker had taken Paris by storm at the same theatre.

£350.00 linen backed and conservation framed.

One of the founders of the famous Family Dog collective, Stanley Mouse is one of the definitive artists of the 1960s San Francisco scene. The poster was unauthorised and very likely withdrawn at the insistence of Zeppelin's management.
