1978 Japanese Rolling Stones Records/Toshiba EMI promotional poster for “Some Girls”

Original first printing Rolling Stones promotional poster issued by Rolling Stones Records/Toshiba EMI in Japan in 1978 to promote the release of the Some Girls album – their 14th UK and 16th US album, produced by the Glimmer Twins, and released on 9th June, 1978. It was the first album to feature guitarist Ronnie Wood as a full-time member, although he had contributed to some tracks on the band’s prior two albums, It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (1974) and Black and Blue (1976). With a stable lineup in place for the first time in several years, the album marked a return to basics for the Rolling Stones and did not feature many guest musicians, unlike many of their prior albums. Containing the hit singles “Miss You”, “Beast of Burdon”, “Respectable”, and “Shattered”, the album was a huge commercial success and reached #1 on the Billboard 200. It stayed 2 weeks at #1 and 23 weeks in the top 10, and was certified 6x Platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) in May 2000 for sales exceeding 6,000,000 copies in the US alone. The album reached #2 on the UK Album Chart and was certified Gold by the BPI  for sales exceeding 100,000 copies. The poster was for promotional purposes only, and was never made commercially available.

The poster measures 72.5 x 51.3 cm (approx. 28.5″ by 20.2″ inches) and is beautifully printed on thin, smooth-finish uncoated paper stock. In remarkably near excellent unfolded condition.
