<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 416722, member: 84&quot;]I JUST GOT REPLY FROM STONES POSTER ARTIST KATE BURNESS!</p><p><br /></p><p>Hi Charlie,</p><p>Yes, I think you do have one of the original Rolling Stones Cardiff Castle concert posters. </p><p>I&#039;ve looked carefully at the images you sent, &amp; the colours, size, &amp; the look of it generally, convince me it&#039;s one of the ones I had, &amp; gave away to friends. </p><p>I only have one of those original posters left, but yours looks exactly like it. </p><p>I was a young artist, only 24, freelancing in London, at the time I created that painting. </p><p>I gave lots of reproductions of my early work away. I didn&#039;t think about how valuable it might be later on.</p><p><br /></p><p>When one is young, working in one of the most exciting cities in the world at the time, surrounded by&nbsp; world class illustrators, you don&#039;t think like that. At least I didn&#039;t. </p><p>I gave about 15 of that poster away to friends in London, but they made their way all over the world in the following years, &amp; I have no knowledge of how or where.</p><p>Some obviously made their way to the States, which is how the Classic Rock Posters people acquired 2 or 3. They told me they have one framed on their wall. </p><p>I didn&#039;t know most of the posters were pulped &amp; the concerts cancelled until a few years ago, as you will know from my website. </p><p>The originals were only concert posters to be pasted up all over town, so although the reproduction is good, the paper is lightweight, &amp; not meant to last. </p><p>The limited edition of 73 that I made at the end of 2014 to launch my website, &amp; tie in with a concert the Stones were doing in Auckland, was on much heavier archival paper, &amp; is signed &amp; numbered by me.</p><p>I know from the Classic Rock Posters people that there have been many cheap versions produced in the past, including by the Stones themselves years ago, but nothing of the size or colour quality of the one you have. </p><p>I wish you all the best in the work you do, remembering &amp; honouring your daughter. </p><p>My boy died at 20, in an accident whilst travelling overseas, so I know what it is to lose a child. </p><p>Enjoy your poster, &amp; if you want to sell it get it valued first. </p><p>It will be worth several thousand dollars if it&#039;s in good condition, as it appears to be from your photographs. </p><p>All the best to you, &amp; many blessings, </p><p>Kate Burness[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
