I collect Stones' concert tees and am looking for anything that someone might have from the 70s. Thanks so much!

Here's what I have to offer, not so much from the seventies:

European Tour 73 "Die härteste Gruppe der Welt..."

???: "TDK bringt's"

Europe 1982: Dragon front

European tour 1982: big tongue on front

Europe 1990: "Urban Jungle"

Seventies?: Keith Richard (no"s"!) with guitar

a bit OT:

Trademark Of Quality label logo

Ned Kelly Wanted For Questioning

interested?

Did you search through the archives? Someone had a thread on IORR selling RS t-shirts from the 70s. They were all Size Small, though.

@Milkyway- I bought some awhile back that were small, maybe it was from the same post. I'll have to go back and check.

@Rank Stranger- I'd be into some of the stuff you've got for sure. Thanks so much!

Try emailing the stones site & asking them. you never know. of course you'll be taking out a 2nd or 3rd mortgage to pay for them, but hey! it's only dosh!

"The wonder of Jimi Hendrix was that he could stand up at all he was so pumped full of drugs." Patsy, Patsy Stone

yeah, i guess it wouldn't hurt. but, i doubt that would have any from that long ago. my hope is that there are some fans out there who saw some earlier shows and have kept their shirts in a drawer for 30-40 years.

I have originals I purchased in '75 and '78. They were mediums but appear small by today's standards. I don't think Bitman could afford them.

it depends how rare and what size they are. the smaller ones tend to fetch less because most of them are not wearable. i bet i could afford them, but i probably already have them.

have any pictures?

I have never been able to post pictures to this site, either because I use a Mac or operator error - or both.

>>> The '75 shirt is a white polyester material with the eagle/jet logo in full color and the words Rolling Stones Tour of The Americas 1975 in Avante Garde type. Because the shirt material appears to be entirely man-made it has developed "pills" that are less than sightly. The shirt was a medium when I was 18. I wore it until about age 24 when I could finally afford to eat. Today, neither of my normally proportioned teenage sons (ages 15 and 17) would have a prayer of fitting into it.I've seen the same shirt on eBay with several hundred dollars as the asking price.

>>> The '78 shirt is cotton or cotton/poly, flesh colored with "The Rolling Stones" in a psuedo-punk scrawl in white and black adjacent to a red black and white tongue logo. Unlike the '75 shirt this one utilizes traditional silk-screen printing. It too was a medium and today is very small by even small standards. I've seen it online for about $250, asking.

The reason I say you couldn't afford them is that I have no desire to sell them unless someone made an insane offer I couldn't refuse.

Ah, I see. Luckily for me, those two tees are already in my collection

There are lots out there that I don't have though, it's what makes searching for them fun.

A friendly bump

Max, have a look here:

Hi Chirs,

Thanks for the head's up. Ken and I have already been in contact for a few weeks now and have worked out a deal for several of his tees.

Thanks so much!
