Vintage Decca Records promo card of the Rolling Stones, 5.5 x 4.25, signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint, "To Gill, Mick Jagger, x," "To Gill, Love, Brian Jones," "Charlie Boy, xxx," "Keith Richard, xx," and "Bill Wyman, xxx." Text on the reverse of the card promotes their recent singles, ‘Come On/I Wanna Be Loved’ and ‘I Wanna Be Your Man/Stoned.’ This features the same image used for the cover of the band’s self-titled debut EP, which Decca released in January 1964 to test the commercial appeal of the Rolling Stones before they would commit to producing a full album. In fine condition, with a light crease to the upper left corner and small old mounting remnants on the reverse. Consignor notes that the signatures were obtained at Leek Town Hall on December 24, 1963. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: "I worked behind the soft drinks bar at the Town Hall with my friend Julia Wardle. We closed up for a while to meet the group behind stage. Mick Jagger was a bit late so he was in a rush but he was a perfect gentleman. Brian Jones seemed to be in a world of his own and Charlie Watts looked very morose. Keith Richards was very hungry so he sent out for some pies, which we found out later gave him food poisoning. After the concert they chatted behind stage and Julia and I were the first to get their autographs." This promo card features the same image used for the cover of the band’s self-titled debut EP, which Decca released in January 1964 to test the commercial appeal of the Rolling Stones before they would commit to producing a full album. An attractive fully signed example.
