"Mick Jagger was the subject of Sharp’s Oz cover in October 1968, in an image that reflected several enduring artistic influences, including Hokusai’s Great Wave off Kanagawa and photographer Eadweard Muybridge’s running man. Sharp was working at the time on the cult film Performance in which Jagger made his film debut as a jaded rock star named Turner. Sharp assisted with the look of Turner’s decadent mansion and a number of Sharp’s artworks – including his Dylan image – appear in the film, directed by Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell, which portrayed the underbelly of the sixties."
From Oz Magazine, October 1968:
I have the book Get On Down - A Decade of Rock and Roll Posters pictured in your link that my brother gave me as a birthday gift in the late '70s.
Very high quality reproductions in a large format - including the Stones' dragon poster and many, many more.
Anyhow, never realized there were so many different variations of the same design!

Interesting indeed.
The article mentions the famous Jimi 'Explosion' poster (based on a photo taken by Linda McCartney).
Find out more about that at [sharphendrix.blogspot.com] . If anyone (else) has a larger version of it I'd be interested to hear from them.
