I've never heard of a poster shipped flat. Even the vintage Fillmore posters I bought (only 3) came rolled. Personally I like the idea of flat if they're not damaged. I'm real sorry to hear some fellow fans got slighted on this deal. I know how important this is. I'd be very upset. Maybe there's a possibility of replacement? I hope so.

What a shame! I was thinking of ordering one, undecided between Dublin and Marseille. But I might forget it, if they all arrive damaged

Hum...not sure about ordering the Marseille poster now ! Might go for the T-Shirt, it won't (hopefully) get damaged during shipping and its cheaper...and more useful ;-)

Their (www.rollingstnes.com) shipping is getting better, i.e. more organised (emails sent out saying that the order has been dispatched for example), and the shipping is a lot faster too. I remember during the ABB tour. F**k me, you ordered something in 2005 and you were lucky if it turned up by the time the tour ended in 2007 !!

My most recent purchases were three T-shirts, Twickenham, Prague, Warsaw, plus lithograph posters from those three gigs as well. I also got the Cardiff lithograph. All in all, a very special tour this was for me personally, I won't bore everyone with explaining why exactly ... just put it down to 'sentimental reasons'. I.E. specific people I shared some of those gigs with, the particular countries and/or towns those gigs were in, and so on .........

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

Received the Marseille one a couple of weeks ago, and had no problems with poster of t-shirt.

Then the one I thought I had cancelled, the Cardiff one, some money went out of my account and was on my door step arriving from work. Both were packed flat, which I thought was unusual and sealed in a plastic type envelope.

Once again, no problem with items.

I ordered lithos from all ten gigs I attended. Paper stock this year is a lot different and cheaper than last year. Certainly not worth the $60 each, even by RS pricing standards!

In the US, mine were shipped in a tube. One litho was damaged and another didn't make the pack.

last year I orded a poster through the UK shop – it came in a tube but was about 10% smaller than advertised. Thus I got 10 Euros refunded

Maybe that's why this year they do not even give measurements

I found yesterday in my mailbox the Marseille T-shirt in perfect condition (size M was out of stock the day of the show).

But look how was the special Olympique de Marseille / RS T-shirt received early july. A piece of crap with a big hole and with some grease everywhere.

That is so messed up. Hope you got your $$ + something for your trouble (like a 2nd shirt free....doubt it though).

On the topic - my Twick lithograph came flat - no problems....still waiting on Berlin, so we'll see.

It was a postal sorting center problem, the plastic envelope probably stuck somewhere at La Poste facility ant they don't care to send this garbage to the customer.
(I've sent back to "Made in Sport" and got another one few days after)

Those were probably the best looking t-shirts for the entire second leg of the No filter tour imo.
I remember someone posted them and I assumed they might have been custom/fan made, but I see you can buy them officially here:

Stones t-shirts

The black one is also available here at $19.99, but doesn't show what's on the back and looks like it might be a knockoff?

In 2017 I bought most of my posters at the venues and they were all numbered.
This year I ordered all online and, no exception, none of the posters were numbered.
So far, so good, not a big deal as I really liked the quality of the posters/silkscreens but just curious:
How many posters are available per show: 200 numbered ones and xxxxx unnumbered??

All the London shows (London 1, London 2 and Twickenham) were sold out immediately online so decided to buy these at the US Store.
Received these posters last week and was really shocked by the quality:
London 1 and London 2 are no silkscreens, just prints. Paper is way thinner than all the other ones I have. The worst though was Twickenham: printed on Kodak photo paper and scratches all over...
Anyone same kind of experience? Is this just the US store or just the London posters?








Hendrik Mulder

All my litho's came damaged. I'll keep asking for replacements till I get a mint one. No refunds anymore.

Pretty sure Edinburgh was numbered 150 prints. I will check when I get home. I would say that 2018 is the same quality as 2017. Are you saying the Kodak type paper is glossy? That's a lot of scratches and I don't think that's the way they're sold at venue. Hopefully the next tour will have nicer posters. I don't think they qualify to be called lithos anymore.

Twickenham is just a print on cheap photo paper, anyone could do that for a fraction of the money spent. Just curious if anyone has the same experience? Anymore posters on Kodak paper? Are all the London posters this poor quality or is it just the US store?
All other posters I purchased (Dublin, Southampton, Manchester, Edinburgh, Berlin, Marseille,Prague and Warsaw) I'm very pleased with: all on very thick quality paper.

Everyone is talking about about lithographs. I have a feeling most of them are just, overpriced, posters. Just because they are numbered doesn't make them lithographs.
And it isn't the quality of the paper that makes the difference. It's the printing technique. To pay more than 20 box for a poster is a steal.

I mentioned this a few times already in the 2017/2018 tour poster topic.

The 2 London and Twickenham posters are real silk screens. (not numbered)
The background color is in 2 different shades. Yellow for London 1, blue for London 2 and red for Twickenham.
They have a different size than the regular litho’s.
The silks screens sold online in Europe are exactly the same as the event silk screens.
They sold out within 24 hours are, as far as I know, not reprinted. I don’t know how many copies were made, anyone?

In the US online store they were sold as lithographs. I never saw one of these but I assume the background of these has no different shades.

The paper quality of the lithographs sold in the European store is more or less the same as the event litho’s, which is very good.
Sadly, the European store messed up delivery.
All lithographs I received were sent flat and arrived damaged.

I'm not a printing expert but I think the quality of the lithographs is very nice, especially the event ones, but they are indeed highly overpriced.

I live in the US- I ordered and payed for London 1 on May 24th, it still hasn't even shipped.

Edinburgh has 200 copies. Sorry if I misled anybody. Hendrik that's too bad about the condition of your poster, and shipping them flat makes me scratch my head. Unless it's encased in seriously hard cardboard, but that would be costly.

Great news: my new Berlin "litho" arrived in mint condition. Waiting for my third Stuttgart "litho" (poster).

Munich and Hamburg are great !
Marseille has the same inspiration as the one that was used.

Ik like both the Edinburgh's ànd the Hamburg one better that the designs that were used in the end.

Like the Manchester Bee one better than the one they used..
Wearing my Edinburgh one as I type, like it a lot, better than the ones that didn't make the cut, although the loch ness one is pretty cool

Munich is fantastic. Would have loved to see that one!

Both Edinburgh and london for me.
