The UK posters for the Clash semi-documentary are dull as dishwater, the polar opposite of the electric American 1-sheet film poster.

Returned to the UK and cleaned up, Bolan's second album without producer Tony Visconti saw him revitalised and re-energised by the early stirrings of Punk, which he immediately grasped and proceeded to promote on tour and on his TV show.

Probably the most famous draftee in history, Presley's stint lasted from 24 March 1958 to March 5, 1960. This shot is from the 2 March 1960 New Jersey press conference the day after he left the army in Germany. Later in April began the timely filming of 'GI Blues'. The King was back.

Discontinued in the early 1980s, the 3-sheet was one of the most dramatic and effective of film poster formats. With print runs only in the low-to-mid hundreds, the survival of any 3-sheet is fortuitous.

Elvis loved flashy, sharp outfits ever since he bought his clothes from the Lansky Bros. in Memphis, and he quickly picked up on the extravagent style of black musicians (always one of his touchstones) such as Earth Wind and Fire in the early 70's.

Very scarce 1-sheet, way superior to the UK posters, for Don Letts's film, mainly shot by him with a Super 8 at the Roxy Club, where he famously DJ'd. A true document, the poster gives equal billing to the audience of original Punk 'faces' along with Siouxsie, Generation X, Johnny Thunders, and more.

The Beatles in August 1963 and subsequently photographed and designed five of their album covers (MEET THE BEATLES, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, BEATLES FOR SALE, HELP!, RUBBER SOUL).

West Coast underground comix and poster legend, Victor Moscoso unusually had serious academic training, studying art at Cooper Union, Yale and the San Francisco Art Institute, where he became an instructor. Moscoso's contrasting colors and vibrating edges was influenced by the Bauhaus's Josef Albers, his teacher at Yale.
