Original in-store standee version of the infamous S&M billboard poster put up by Atlantic on Sunset Boulevard to promote the new album, with the caption "I'm 'Black and Blue' from the Rolling Stones - and I love it!". Howls of protests rapidly saw the campaign withdrawn. This is a very rare item.

Just when Punk had stagnated into workman-like orthodoxy and po-faced politics, The Cramps crazed blend of Sun-era rockabilly and 50's pulp, sci-fi and horror was something fresh. Produced by Alex Chilton, recorded at the Sam C. Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis, released on Miles Copeland's I.R.S. label.

Initially an NY disco diva, with designer and partner Jean-Paul Goude Grace Jones created a radical androgynous new image and a musical metamorphosis, one of the most memorable of the era.
'Slave To The Rhythm' was the apogee of Trevor Horn's unique bombastic polished production sound.

The Clash's debut album was released in America in 1979 after 'Give 'Em Enough Rope', CBS feeling the debut lp too raw for radio play. Hence the mixed-period photos on this superb poster.

Springsteen's celebrated five night run at New York's Bottom Line club was a defining moment in his career and in the history of rock music.

This remarkable poster was carefully picked off the wall of the club itself at the time by an enterprising young English CBS employee, who had been queuing for tickets outside from 10 that morning.

This historic item is offered completely unrestored with all options open to the next fortunate owner. Comes with letter of provenance.

Springsteen strongly took against Columbia's full-blown promotion and personally ripped down the "Finally the world is ready for Bruce Springsteen" posters in the lobby at his first UK concert at the Hammersmith Odeon. This is one of the originals that survived the Boss's displeasure, one of the all-time great rock posters.

A great example of Barney Bubbles' versatility, a monumental Nuremburg/Soviet design for the tour promoting Hawkwind's 1976 album.

"He was so good I couldn't have really competed with him."

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.

£375.00 conservation framed.

Quite amazing full-size promo poster, with a discrete (see 'Black And Blue' for the alternative approach) but unmistakeable Bondage aspect that elicited some murmurs of disapproval.

The poster is an unmistakable tribute to the Hollywood film posters of the 1940's.

£425.00 conservation framed.

Mick Jagger had shown Bowie his Peellaert collection at his house. Bowie, impressed, immediately commissioned the artist to create his 'Diamond Dogs' album cover, stealing a march on The Stones who were to feature Peellaert's artwork on their own lp 'It's Only Rock'n'Roll' later that year.

Bowie later wryly commented: "Mick's learned now, as I've said. He will never do that again. You've got to be a bastard in this business."

Rare original poster for Marley's classic album, which yielded the huge international hits "Jamming," "Waiting in Vain," and "One Love/People Get Ready."

Jamaican born Neville Garrick had a close working relationship with Marley, designing covers and live staging for him. Ex-NME stalwart Adrian Boot is one of Britain's best known music photographers.

Rare original poster for one of the real highpoints of Elton and Bernie Taupin's classic early period. The western theme of the lyrics carried over to the lp and poster designs.

Bowie's makeup was created by Pierre Laroche, who also did the makeup for the film 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. Duffy, a great character and photographic innovator, made up along with Terence Donovan and David Bailey what Terry O'Neil called 'the holy trinity' of fashion photography in Britain in the late 50's and 1960s.
