This Rolling Stones poster was designed by artist John Pashe for the band's March 1971 UK Tour. This is the rare, original printing! The first printings like this one have a bright green area in the lawn sections of the design, whereas the more common second printings exhibit a darker brownish grass lawn color.

The concerts performed during this UK tour were high energy, and proved to be a legendary era for the band. The Stones landmark Sticky Fingers was released a month later.

Rather than licking their wounds after Altamont, the Rolling Stones recorded a follow-up that was the equal of "Let It Bleed," taking "Brown Sugar" from a drug-induced all-night session in Muscle Shoals, "Sister Morphine" from the "Let It Bleed" sessions, and 8 more blistering tracks recorded in their mobile unit during the summer of 1970. This really was an amazing era for the Stones.
