Rare Rolling Stones poster sells for £15,000




...


A rare poster promoting one of the Rolling Stones' earliest concerts that was found in a loft has sold for £15,000.




The original poster advertised a show at Bristol's Colston Hall in 1964 during the group's first UK tour.

It was found when the sellers of the poster moved into a house in the Knowle area of the city in the 1980s.

Auctioneer Andy Stowe said it was possibly the only surviving poster from the gig.

The concert featured other acts including The Ronettes and Marty Wilde.

The poster, measuring 74 cm (29 inches) x 100 cm (39 inches), was sold at East Bristol Auctions to a UK collector.

The concert on 27 January was the last night of The Stones' first UK tour, and took place just days after their appearance on the first ever Top Of The Pops.

Mr Stowe said the poster was discovered when someone moved into the house in about 1984.

"As they were sorting it out they came across it in the loft, left by the previous owners, and it's stayed with them ever since," he said.

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef
