Rolling With The Stones: 1969 - 1972





















Images from two items I scored on eBay recently:
These were bought as source material for a new collage I'm building for my home.
I thought I'd digitally archive them before their contents were sliced up and reordered.

One is a 1970 publication that chronicles the Rolling Stones' ill-fated 1969 tour
while another is simply a very 1972 rock magazine containing music tabs and lyrics 
to popular songs of the day along with articles on the hit-makers that produce them.

The back cover of the latter periodical, which advertises the now-legendary Stones opus 
Exile On Main Street, contains an image from that album's Robert Frank photo layout that 
always manages to astound me with its stark rawness, crudeness, and rather vague intent. 
Further proof that, in this particular era, nobody… but NOBODY rocked like The Rolling Stones.

Vinyl Therapy: Rolling Stones "Exile On Main St." (1972)









I had wanted a fully intact copy of The Rolling Stones' glorious double album 
"Exile On Main St." after having given my flea market copy away to a friend at college in the 1990s.
I knew I would be able to score another one (with postcards intact) but had no idea that it would take so long.  
Well, it was worth the wait. This copy looks and sounds amazing and I'm very glad to have it.
