About this Item
2 parts* of 4-layer-pressed cardboard (the outer layers stronger than the inner ones, 3 mm in total), backed with fold-out stands (the lower one twice-folded for higher stability) of slightly softer 'single-wall' cardboard (2 thin layers with wave-shaped filling, also ca. 3 mm). - Upper part (from the upper 40% of the record-cover up to Mick's head): 87 x 41,5 cm (43+ x 16+ inches, widest at elbows) / Lower part (from the lower 60% of the record-cover down to Mick's feet [with plaster on the 2nd toe of his left foot]): 89 x 43,5 cm (35 x 17x inches, widest at feet); Total height: 176 cm (69+ inches). *** [Letztmalig erweiterter SOMMER-SCHLUSS-VERKAUF (bis Donnerstag, den 18.09.2025) / Ultimately expanded SUMMER-END-SALE (until Thursday, September 18, 2025): um fast 50% REDUZIERTER PREIS / PRICE-REDUCTION of almsot 50%; ursprünglicher Preis / originally EUR 2.650,-] --- ORIGINAL PROMOTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC CARDBOARD DISPLAY-STAND, delivered on the occasion of the 'Sticky Fingers' LP-record release, the Rolling Stones' first studio album without Brian Jones. - *) According to auction-descriptions the (here) two parts were a folded single-part item, but regarding the cardboard's thickness(es) it is difficult to image how they would not crack at the fold immediately once folded (if not equipped with a special joint). The connecting edges of this copy are slightly rubbed and/but do not look like ever have been connected; the connecting edges of the (original) mounted stand are stronger rubbed and might have been connected once; difficult to surely decide. --- Unfortunaltely the head once has been bent backwards which results in a crack of the photographic paper-surface (right at Mick's tight collar) and a bending-crease at the rear; this part is stabilized with a loose cardboard neckbrace (definitely not matching any medical standards). The neck and the waist are each vertically somewhat-rubbed obviously from (the removal of) 5-cm tape to stabilize (neck) or connect (waist) the figure from the front. The bottom-right part of the waist (on the record-cover) lacks the photographic surface-paper on ca. 1 x 11 cm; at the very top of Mick's hair are a 2 small and a few smallest, partly frayed, holes, at least the 2 parallel small ones obviously formerly used to pin the figure onto another kind-of stand. The photographic paper-surface of the right leg is slightly wavy below the record-cover (thigh) and minimally at the knee. 'Shallow shadow' over the left lung (ca. 10 x 8 cm, what did he smoke during that period?), humidity-stain at the left shoulder (ca. 8 x 3 cm), rearsides of head and of right shoulder with larger humidity stain; right thigh and record-cover appear a little sunned, few smaller spots and another slightly frayed kind-of pinhole between ankles and feet, lower sharp-cornes of the stand frayed as well. OVERALL SOMEWHAT USED BUT COMPLETE SET OF THE IMPRESSIVE RARE MEMORABILIA. - ''Sticky Fingers is the ninth studio album by . . . the Rolling Stones. It was released on 23 April 1971 on the Rolling Stones' new label, Rolling Stones Records. . . On this album, Mick Taylor made his second full-length appearance on a Rolling Stones album . . . It was the first studio album without Brian Jones, who died two years earlier. The original Grammy-nominated cover artwork, conceived and photographed by Andy Warhol, showed a picture of a man in tight jeans, and had a working zip that opened to reveal underwear fabric. The cover was expensive to produce and damaged the vinyl record, so the size of the zipper adjustment was made by John Kosh . . . Later re-issues featured just the outer photograph of the jeans. The album featured a return to basics for the Rolling Stones. The unusual instrumentation introduced several albums prior was absent, with most songs featuring drums, guitar, bass, and percussion as provided by the key members: Mick Jagger (lead vocals, various percussion and rhythm guitar), Keith Richards (guitar and backing vocals),
