This original pre-concert poster was famously misprinted with the sharp white outline on the lower left side of the upper die. This was corrected on the second printing (after the event) and on all other later reprints. 'Tumblin' Dice' was released as a single prior to
'Exile On Main Street'.
This is the scarce genuine original, in superb condition, acquired from a person who worked for the band for ten years around this period.

Original Atlantic/Kinney promo poster, 23.5"x33"

The evocative photograph of the Victorian woodland worker was found by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page in a Reading junk shop, on one of Jimmy's frequent trawls. The foldout sleeve contrasted an old rural way of life with the bleak new urban landscape of the 1960s.

Wonderful Milton Glaser pastiche. Design Clinic realised cover designs for both XTC and thier side project Dukes of Stratosphear. The band carved their own acclaimed creative niche, drawing inspiration from psychedelia and the English pastoral.

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."
Sir Peter Blake

Aiming the band squarely at a Mod audience manager Pete Meaden changed The Who's name to the High Numbers. One of the venues they played in that summer of 1964 was the Railway Hotel in Wealdstone - it was to prove significant.

Absolutely wonderful shot of Moon. The band's inimitably dynamic style was already bubbling up even at this early stage. The Railway saw the birth of Townsend's guitar smashing. Not to be outdone, Moon kicked over his drum kit soon after.

Manager-to-be Kit Lambert saw a line of scooters and Mods outside the hotel. Inside he saw the perfect band for his planned Mod movement documentary. He filmed the band performing, of which some terrific footage survives. Note classic Moon expression.

Another brilliant shot (the band's first official photo shoot, 1st June 1964), with a deceptively angelic Moon. The photographer is believed to be Richard Rosser, working for Rave magazine, a shoot then manager Pete Meaden would have organised to highlight the band's new Mod credentials.

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.

Original concert poster, 20"x30"

Rare original screenprint poster for Van Der Graaf Generator's November 1st gig at Derby's College of Art & Technology. Derby appears to have had a distinctive local printer/designer in the 70s producing concert posters.

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.

Original 12" Silvertone Records sleeve proof, 14"x25"
Art by John Squire

A huge fan of the Clash, Squire's interest in Jackson Pollock was sparked by Paul Simonon's use of Pollock-style paint techniques, famously on the band's stage clothes. For the Roses, the arrival of new bassist Mani saw everything fit into place, and the resulting single, the shimmering 'Elephant Stone', saw the birth of the band's classic sound.
