Striking and very unusual poster design for The Faces' 1973 North American tour. A section of the artwork was used on the subsequent live lp 'Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners', long out of print. Printed on card stock.
Scarce.

Multi-talented James Wedge has enjoyed successful careers variously as a top milliner, Kings Road boutique owner (clients The Beatles and Rolling Stones) and a leading fashion photographer.

Adam's third album after the whirlwind rise and split of Adam and the Ants was hindered by record company under-promotion and a long delayed release which negated the chart success of the single 'Apollo 9'. The album was reissued in 2005 to greater acclaim. Producer Tony Visconti said of him "What a creative ball of energy! He was great to work with."

Few artists sum up a whole era as thoroughly as the work of Peter Max evokes the playful psychedelia of the 60s. His playful imagery captured the imagination of a whole generation and launched the young artist to remarkable fame and fortune.

1970 and Zeppelin's two-part tour of the States that year saw them take the Beatles' crown as the biggest band on the planet, and cemented their colossal popularity in America for years to come.

Unusual and way superior poster for Culture Club's debut album, which featured the huge international hit 'Do You Really Want to Hurt Me'.

Fantastic original White Riot tour poster, which doubled as a plug for the first album. With the lp and 'White Riot' single out, the band, and Punk, exploded out of a small club scene into broad daylight.

American photographer Kate Simon took the famous shot of the three in an alleyway in Camden Market.

Striking poster for The Stranglers second album. The title track became one of the most played songs of the era to this day. A successful, at times controversial anomally within Punk, the band were really entirely unclassifiable, enjoying a post-punk chart success denied to The Sex Pistols and The Clash.

As with Elvis Presley in 1956, the Beatles three February appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show were landmarks moments in popular culture, effectively marking the beginning of the british Invasion and the greatest love affair of any country for any band in history.

Very likely from around the time of the release of 'Plastic Letters' and its UK hit single 'Denis'. Chalkie Davies was one of Britain's leading rock photographers, with extensive work for the NME in this period.

Terrific original photo with Debbie Harry in front of the Hollywood sign by Richard Creamer, one of the leading (and most popular amongst his subjects) American rock photographers of the 70's.

Almost certainly from the 10th March 1977 'Dandy in the Underworld' tour date at Newcastle City Hall, with The Dammed in support.
Bolan's career enjoyed a sadly cut-short resurgence in the early years of Punk, of which he was a keen supporter.

The third of John Pasche's three Art Deco-inspired tour posters for the band, then at their absolute peak, touring the recently released 'Exile On Main Street'.
Note: This is the most repro'd of all the classic John Pasche posters and the genuine original is both hard to identify and scarce. This poster was acquired from a person who worked for the band for ten years around this period.
