Original poster from the aborted date at the Budokan. The Japanese leg of the Australasia tour sank when Mick was refused entry to Japan due to his past drug convictions.

This poster is extremely rare

On August 21st, The Stones performed in from of 200,000 people at Knebworth Park The stage for their set was in the shape of a giant tongue (modelled on the Stones logo).

David Storey, under Jerry Dammers' idiosyncratic oversight, created the 2 Tone label's unique look, including Walt Jabsco the dancing Ska man. For 'Ghost Town' Dammers wanted a distinctive illustration; Sims and Storey found the skeletons on an old postcard.

Original 2 Tone posters rarely surface.

This was Jagger's first solo tour and his first ever performances in Japan (see '73 poster below).
Warhol's fascination with celebrity and Jagger's enjoyment of New York and its nightlife at the time (1975) made them a natural pairing.

Absolutely classic live photograph of Strummer, Jones and Simonon firing on all cylinders on the "16 Tons" tour of the UK, most probably June.

Superb design for Kraftwerk's three London dates on the 'Computer World' tour, the high point of their worldwide popularity: Lyceum, Hammersmith Palais, Hammersmith Odeon.

Vintage material on Kraftwerk is not easy to come by.

The artist created the striking image of Lydon by blowing up and then reducing again the original Starr & Davies photograph on a photocopying machine. The band were out of contract in the US at the time and had to fund the tour themselves.

Absolutely wonderful (and scarce) poster for AC/DC's breakthrough album. Michael Putland, one of Britain's top international music photographers, amongst many memorable images, took superb shots of the band in action.

Vintage American boxing-style window cards (on heavy card stock) do not commonly survive. This is an unusually large format poster, for a gig at the University of Cincinnati with a terrific line-up in the big year of the funk to disco crossover.

This is the original post-concert 2nd printing, the last printed on the original heavy stock. The rose-plucking skeleton, one of the most famous of all rock images, was lifted from British illustrator Edmund J. Sullivan's (1869-1933) 1913 'Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam'.

SOLD - please inquire if you'd like us to source this for you.

Unusual multi-purpose card display, with instructions on the reverse for display options.

Surprisingly little original promo material from Pink Floyd's classic years survives.

Infamous culinary masterpiece from the end of the band's greatest period, ending with producer Jimmy Miller utterly burnt out. Recorded in Jamaica, Bill Wyman remembers: "We would be driven to Byron Lee's studio through downtown Kingston. Two large, double gates guarded by the man with the shotgun would open and let us in and then close behind us.
Very scarce original poster.
