-
- By all accounts, a fairly accurate rendering recreating the Edith Grove flat where Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Brian Jones lived together in 1963. Apparently, each thought it was the other’s turn to tidy up.
-
- 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
