Offered is a 1978 Rolling Stones poster for their LP Some Girls. This example comes from a small number that were produced for the Los Angeles market. They were not in circulation long because some of the celebrities in the artwork sued the Stones for use of their image and the artwork was banned – making this a very rare and desirable poster!
The historic Colby Poster Printing Company produced promotional material between 1948 and 2012 and they became legendary for their signature fluorescent inks and bold all-caps typography although none of the original staff had any formal design training. They were members of the letterpress union the screen printers union and the typesetters union.
The poster measures 14 x 22 and presents with some edge wear and four small areas of paper loss at the holes made by mounting. Excellent condition.
