JOHNNY CASH - UNCHAINED, 1998

Special American Recordings promo poster, photo by Jim Marshall.
11"x17"

Fabulous image laying it on the line in no uncertain terms for the country music establishment after the unsupported 'Unchained' won a Grammy. The famous photograph was taken by Jim Marshall at the 1969 San Quentin gig.

This poster is now scarce.

£275.00 conservation framed.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - ODEON HAMMERSMITH, 1975.

Original concert poster, 31" x 41"

Original poster for Springsteen and the E-Street band's London debut. The 18th November date was to become one of the most celebrated concerts ever seen in the UK. In 2005, Springsteen commented: "It was the show that put us on the map in England and began a long and beautiful relationship with our fans overseas."
The poster is very rare.


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


ELVIS COSTELLO - MY AIM IS TRUE, 1977.

Original STIFF Records promo poster, 20"x30"
Photography by Keith Morris.

The cover shot on Costello's first album, the pose, jacket and glasses of a twisted Buddy Holly, had an immediate impact and established one of the most distinctive identities of the time.

'Alison', from the album, was an instant classic.


£350.00 conservation framed.



T.REX - THE CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION, 1972.

Original EMI promo poster, 16"x11.5"

Scarce poster for one of the classic T Rex line up's last major hits. It reached number 2 in September 1972.

THE ROLLING STONES, TATTOO YOU, 1981.

2 original promo posters, each 12 1/4"x12 1/4"
Artwork by Peter Corriston.

Peter Corriston also designed the superb covers for 'Some Girls' and Led Zeppelin's 'Physical Graffiti'. These are the superior card stock version.

Pair £200.00 conservation framed.




THE ROLLING STONES - EUROPEAN TOUR, 1970

Original promo poster, 33"x24"
Art by John Pasche.

John Pasche not only designed the band's classic tour posters of the early 70's , but also created the 'lips' logo in 1971 for the Stones' own label. His work is among the very best of the era.
Note: Repros are very common on this poster.

£685.00 linen backed and conservation framed.

GENESIS - A TRICK OF THE TAIL, 1976

Original tour poster, 30" x 40"

The album, the first after the departure of Peter Gabriel and thus a huge unknown for the band, proved to be great success and set Genesis on a solid footing both critically and financially for the post-Gabriel future
The illustrations were by Colin Elgie.


£245.00 linen backed.

LED ZEPPELIN - EARLS COURT, May 1975

Original concert poster, 25"x35"
Art by Martine Grainey for Peter Grainey Graphics.

Original 'Physical Rocket' poster for the famous sell-out shows at Earls' Court in May 1975, so popular that two extra dates were added. The band's double album magum opus 'Physical Graffiti' had been released in February and Zeppelin were at their peak.


Please inquire for availability.



JIM MORRISON - 1969

Original blacklight poster, 33.5"x22"
Original photo by Mike Barich.

The image of Jim Morrison is taken from a Mike Barich photo on the 10th November 1968 at the Minneapolis Concert Hall.

Stylish original blacklight design that works well as a straightforward poster.

£485.000 linen backed and conservation framed.



THE ROLLING STONES, CARDIFF AND PEMBROKE CASTLES, 1973

Original concert poster 20"x30"
Art by K. Burness.

Super-scarce original concert poster for the Stones' cancelled dates at the two castles. This is one of the rarest major Stones posters, with only merchandise versions or out-and-out repros normally surfacing.

We hadn't imagined to see this poster again, but were lucky to recently acquire this from a person who worked for the band for ten years around this period.

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



ROD STEWART - ATLANTIC CROSSING, 1975

Original Warners promo poster, 15"x21.5"
Artwork by Peter Lloyd.

Apparently commissioned by a panicking Warners under an overnight deadline after the original designer failed to deliver, Peter Lloyd produced a classic of 70's album artwork, in all its overblown airbrushed glory.
The sharp eyed will also see hints of the styling he brought to his work on the film 'Tron'.



£350.00 linen backed conservation framed.




DEXY'S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS - SEARCHING FOR THE YOUNG SOUL REBELS, 1980

Original promo poster, 60"x40".
Design by Peter Barrett.

We never thought we'd see this poster again, the flagship item from 2006's original 'Rock Explosion' Exhibition. But a second copy has finally come our way. Extremely scarce and again in excellent condition.

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