$175.00 – $625.00

The Rolling Stones (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts) arrive in America for the first time-ever on June 1, 1964, just a three days after their first album – England’s Newest Hitmakers – The Rolling Stones – was released.  After a well-received first US show in San Bernardino, California they played two very disheartening shows in San Antonio, Texas where they performed alongside monkey and juggling acts and country star George Jones to an unreceptive small audience.  Their manager and producer Andrew Loog Oldham cheered them up by surprising them with a trip on their four days off between shows to visit and record at Chess Records studios.  Recordings from Chess records were actually the spark that led to the formation of the Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards grew up one street away from each other in Dartford, Kent, England, and, starting in September 1950, would have many a play date when not attending Wentworth Primary School. Even when Keith transferred to another school in 1954, their paths would cross again in 1961 at a chance encounter at a Dartford, Kent train station, when Mick had some American rhythm and blues records that he had mail ordered from Chess Records in tow, and Keith remarked, “Oh, yeah, these are really interesting.” And so it began. Soon they were playing those records all over town, until the day they put two and two together and the singer joined forces with the guitarist—forging one of the most revolutionary rock duos of all time.  Soon afterwards they would meet Brian Jones, who along with Ian Stewart were forming a band and enlisted Mick and Keith to join. Fortunately their US Tour Manager, Bob Bonis, accompanied them on this trip and captured some of the only photographs documenting this historic event and seminal moment in their long history.

Product Description

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHS:
This photograph was taken by Bob Bonis, who was the U.S. Tour Manager for both The Beatles and the Rolling Stones from 1964 through 1966. This is a Limited Edition fine art photograph, derived from the original negative or slide, and is printed on professional grade Fujicolor Crystal Archive paper by the master printers at Duggal Visual Solutions in New York. Thanks to his unequaled access and gifted eye for composition, Bob Bonis captured thousands of unguarded, candid and iconic photographs of the two most important groups in the history of popular music. The majority of these images have never been seen or published and most are available here as Limited Edition fine art prints for the FIRST TIME!

SIZES / EDITIONS:
This photograph is currently being made available in three sizes and editions as follows:

  • 11” x 14” print (the image size is 8” x 12” plus a white border) in a hand-numbered edition of only 250 prints
  • 16” x 20” print (the image size is 12” x 18” plus a white border) in a hand-numbered edition of only 75 prints

ONCE AN EDITION SELLS OUT IT WILL NEVER BE REPRINTED!

QUANTITY AVAILABLE:
With Limited Edition prints and photographs the price typically increases as the edition sells down. After 20% of an edition sells the price will increase. After the next 20% sells the price will increase again and so on, until the edition sells out completely. To keep things clear we are only listing the number of prints that are available in a particular edition at a particular price. When you have selected a size/edition and it says that (whatever number it says above) are available, it means that number of prints remain available at that price. When those prints have sold we will list the next group of prints of that edition at the next price, and so on, until the edition has sold out completely. By buying your print now, rather than waiting, you will get both the lowest print number available in that edition AND the lowest price! So don’t hesitate or the price may go up – or the edition may sell out.

SHIPPING TIME:
Our fine art photographs are custom printed to order and require a high level of expertise and intense attention to detail, all delivered by Duggal Visual Solutions in New York City. As these are not “off-the-shelf” items an order may take up to 10 business days to print and ship. Once printed each photograph is inspected to ensure a perfect print it is then hand-numbered and is embossed with the official Bob Bonis signature seal, as authorized by The Bob Bonis Estate. It is then placed in a rigid acid-free acrylic sleeve to protect it from fingerprints and other damage. If you need your photograph by a specific date for a gift or other reason please be sure to let us know in the notes section of your payment, or Contact Us before your purchase to make sure that we can deliver it in time. We will go out of our way to accommodate your needs if at all possible.
