Early Rolling Stones Handbills. They weren’t always the opening act.

There was a time, believe it or not, when the Rolling Stones opened for or shared the bill with some acts most of us have never hear of.
These English handbills are rare examples of the early advertisements and posters promoting the band back when.
When they needed people to show up.
Printed on thin paper and posted on walls or handed out, these rarities were quickly tossed away and torn down after the shows.
It’s a history of the venues as well as acts the Stones played with in their early days.
Almost impossible to find today.
Most carry a pretty hefty price, usually somewhere in the thousands.
