1971 The Rolling Stones UK Tour Original Poster

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.
