1970s

A rare original tour poster printed to promote the Rolling Stones 1971 UK Tour, otherwise known as the Farewell to England tour as the Stones would afterwards leave England to become tax exiles in the South of France. Designed by John Pasche, creator of the band's famous tongue and lips logo, the poster promoted the Stones first UK tour in five years, which saw two weeks of high energy concerts in England and Scotland in March 1971, one month ahead of the release of seminal album Sticky Fingers.
