- Don’t Wanna Talk About Jesus: Robert Frank’s original collage for the inlay LP cover of ’72’s “Exile”
-
- Mick jagger’s hand-written title for “Exile” dashed off in black marker, as per Robert Frank’s suggestion
-
- “Rock Dreams” artist Guy Peellaert’s’s Cover proof mock-up for 1974’s “It’s Only Rock & Roll (But I Like It)”
-
- Keith Richards’s personally owned copies of the original non-censored cover (featuring the faces of Lucill Ball, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Raquel Welch, and Brigitte Bardot), and censored “under reconstruction” cover that replaced the original
-
- Proof sheet layout and mock-up for the first Stones greatest hits album (note the lower-case lettering, quite rare), 1966.
-
- Ultr-rare promotional ad image for “Beggars Banquet.” Why is Charlie missing an arm? Perhaps he is begging for it back?
-
- “Ladies and Gentlemen, The rolling Stones,” filmed on the 1972 tour, released in a limited engagement to theatres in 1974 and then inexplicably, rarely screened since (until finally being given the DVD treatment some 40 years later); long sought-after and considered by fans and collectors (myself included) to be the greatest recorded document of the band at its peak.
-
- Far right: Mick’s striped suit that can be seen in a few ’73 press conference pics and magazine spreads while the Stones toured Europe in ’73; In the middle is the black and white checked suit Mick wore often during the ’69 tour and trip to America; it pops up in several Ethan Russell photos of the Stones staying at Stephen Stills’ house in Laurel Canyon in L.A. while preparing for the U.S. tour, as well as a dress rehearsal for the “Ed Sullivan Show” that fall (where they performed “Gimme Shelter” and “Love In Vain”)
-
- Jagger’s Jumpin’ Jack Flash yellow embroidered blazer used in the alternate version (no warpaint/makeup etc.) promo for the single, backed by an assortment of Carnaby Street/Granny Takes A Trip Edwardian/Victorian wear from the mid-60s (you can spot these items in many 1966-68 photos of the band, and the band wore them onstage for concert appearances as well)
-
- Two of Mick’s jumpsuits worn on the legendary 1972 U.S. tour “which I could still get into,” said Mick in an interview. “Very comfortable … But you have to be in shape to wear them. You can’t come out with a belly!”
-
- Ronnie Wood’s fur coat worn during the band’s 1975 tour announcement from a flatbed truck rolling down the heart of NYC.
-
- Charlie’s vintage toy drum kit and Keith’s nearly-as-vintage tape recorder, both used in the recording of “Street Fighting Man.”
-
- LP cover mock-up for 1965’s U.S. release of “Out Of Our Heads,” which gave the Stones their breakthrough smash (can you guess?) and made them world famous.
-
- Does the question mark refer to the confusion whether this notebook contains lyrics to the songs for that album — or perhaps whether the album title is a keeper? Only The Glimmer Twins know for sure.
-
- The image that flashed on-screen at the moment I was photographing Brian’s guitar and thinking, ‘thanks for starting it, and living it,’ and making all this possible
-
- A poster from the greatest Stones concert film ever made of the band on its ’72 tour (film released as a limited engagement in 1974 and then, inexcplicably, scarcely seen again until its eventual release some 40 years later on DVD
