Uncommon original program for the Rolling Stones’ 1965 UK Tour, 16 pages, 8 x 10.5, signed inside on the ‘Relaxing Down Under’ centerfold next to their respective images by Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger, and Charlie Watts. The program is also signed inside by members of the supporting acts, including Dave Berry and The Hollies (Bobby Elliott, Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks, and Eric Haydock). In fine condition, with light handling wear, mirroring to the signatures, and an auction label affixed to the upper right of the signed page. Accompanied by an original handbill for a Rolling Stones concert at the ABC Theatre in Romford, Essex, on March 18, 1965, as well as a ticket stub for the band’s “2nd Performance” at Romford’s “A.B.C. Cinema.”
On March 18, 1965, the Rolling Stones played early and late shows at the ABC Theatre in Romford, concluding their latest UK package tour during a year of rapid international expansion for the band. The Stones were increasingly reaching audiences beyond Britain, making their first appearances in Ireland, Australia, and Singapore, while the February release of The Rolling Stones, Now!, their third American album, further established them in the U.S. market. The Romford engagement also preceded one of the more notorious episodes of their early career: after the shows, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, and Bill Wyman were involved in an incident at a local petrol station that resulted in each being fined £5 several months later for urinating against a wall. The ensuing publicity further reinforced the rebellious image that had become central to the Stones’ early reputation.
