MEMBERS OF THE ROLLING STONES AND THE BEATLES UNITE

The Rolling Stones "Rock N' Roll Circus" Autographs By Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, John Lennon and Yoko Ono (1968). Collection of (6) vintage items from the "Roll 'N' Roll Circus" recording event, one of the most ambitious Stones projects at that time. Including (1) sheet of lined paper signed in blue ballpoint by Mick Jagger ("To Gill"), Brian Jones, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono - an extraordinary grouping of autographs from the unique concert spectacular where Lennon and Ono both participated in the one-off "Dirty Mac" supergroup with Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Mick Mitchell, and violinist Ivry Gitlis. Measuring 7" x 4.5" folded, the autographs were obtained by a member of the Rolling Stones Fan Club who attended the filming of the Rolling Stones "Rock 'N' Roll Circus" in December 1968; (1) plastic sunflower measuring approx. 10.5" x 8.5", seen in the concert film held by an attendee sat next to Pete Townshend during the final song "Salt of the Earth"; and (4) candid behind-the-scenes photographs of the event, each measuring 3.5" x 3.5". To obtain the autographs of Jagger and Jones is an impressive feat - to have the autograph of a Beatle as well makes this an exceptional piece of rock history.

Sunflower exhibits minor handling wear including some cracking to the yellow petals. Some photographs exhibit light fading or fold lines, light paper loss to verso.
