One of Martin Sharp's most intricate and rich poster designs, printed on gold foil, advertising the 16th July 1967 legalise cannabis rally at Speakers Corner, Hyde Park, London.
Over 3000 people attended the first 'Legalise Pot' rally in London's Hyde Park and openly flouted the law by holding a mass 'smoke-in'.

Original Warner Bros. promo poster.
24"x33"

The Pistols were distributed on Warner Bros. records in the U.S. and this poster, quoting what must have been alarming and incomprehensible lyrics to the average American record buyer, was produced for the release of the album.

Martyn Sharp had a very close involvement with Cream, writing the lyrics for 'Tales Of Brave Ulysses' for the band on a paper napkin, sharing a Chelsea flat with Eric Clapton and designing the covers for the albums 'Disraeli Gears' and 'Wheels Of Fire' .

One of the classic 70's 'playboy' album covers, shot by the great fashion photographer Hiro (Vogue, Harpers Bazaar etc), who early on worked with and studied under Richard Avedon. Hiro also shot the cover for The Stones' 'Black And Blue'.

The cover art (the best of Morrissey's post-Smiths designs) for his superb first solo single was adapted from a photo taken by fan Geri Caulfield at a Smiths gig at the London Palladium. The blending out of his hair gives him a distinctly authentic (and appropriate) 60's skinhead look.

Original Big O poster.
24"x33"

The name Virgin, according to Branson, was suggested by a colleague as they knocked ideas around. She felt their (untainted) inexperience of the ways of the big companies was an assett worth drawing on.

Superb psychedelic pastiche design from peak-period XTC, inspired by a 1965 Milton Glaser radio station advertisment poster. See HERE.
