[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 415765, member: 84"]Saw this in the paintings/posters bin a aisle away & zipped to it; even though I had no idea at the moment that it was a Stones concert poster - the eye popping colors put the git up in my steps! Then when I saw it was a Rolling Stones poster that I never saw before I got excited; because even a copy of something so unusual was going to be valuable. And the Prints Plus label on the back made me more sure it was a copy by them. BUT(!) when I got home and googled it, I found this article ([URL]https://www.classicposters.com/Rolling_Stones/poster/Art_of_Rock/4.273[/URL]) - that said there were very few of the originals that survived & were so rare that bootleg versions were made - and these versions were easy to tell because they were smaller than the original's 20" x 30" and the colors weren't as eye popping. Well, I measured mine - and it measures 20" x 30"!! And the colors certainly pop on it! And I looked closer at the label on the back & maybe it's the final inspection label for when someone had the poster framed & was not made by Posters Plus? The only thing I haven't done is open it to see if it is on thin white paper like the original was made on- I wanted to check here first before taking that step. So, is there a way to tell if it's an original? Thanks all - this is a VERY cool piece either way!
