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.

THE SEX PISTOLS - GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, 1977

Design by Jamie Reid.

Original Virgin promo poster.
39"x27.5"

Without doubt the single most memorable image to come from the Punk era. It's worth restating that what the media saw at the time as an incomprehensible and thuggish youth 'problem' was the vehicle through which Jamie Reid and Malcolm MacLaren produced the boldest and most coherent series of graphic statements ever seen in popular music.

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


THE ROLLING STONES, GOATS HEAD SOUP, 1973.

Original promo poster, 24"x24"
Design & art direction John Pasche, photography Phil Jude.

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.



£750.00 conservation framed.
