The archive is located between London Bridge (18 minute walk) and Bermondsey (8 minute walk) tube stations. It's 10 minutes walk to the south end of Tower Bridge so ideal to fit in some sightseeing in the heart of old London. Lot's of people have asked me how m

I have started display building in earnest... Here is a sneak peak at my 67 to 70 display... (yes those are 73 passes in the wrong place!) Some highlights: Keith's Altamont top, RMS1, Brian's funeral address & programme, Hyde Park 69 Pass, Mobile Studio recording etc... etc...

QuotePeachykindagirl Hi Matt wow that’s great. Thanks for sharing. would be awesome if the museum would be open to us who are going to be in London between the Liverpool and Amsterdam shows June 10-11. Just a suggestion Yes, that's very possible, before and after the first and second Hyde Park shows too. We have been working hard on the space all day... lots more to do but the pressure is

Quotecrawdaddy Big thanks to Matt, and I'm sure 'Hot Stuff' is gonna be selling well on Amazon, when even more Stones Fans will hear about this book when the Tour gets going on June 1st in Madrid............................ if they haven't already heard about it.

Quotetimmyj3 I received your book for Xmas and love it. Have you ever thought of doing a price guide for Stones memorabilia and records? Glad you love the book... I have indeed thought about a price guide, in fact the publisher wanted to call the book Priceless! However I wanted to avoid prices as they can be as misleading as they are helpful. The market has moved significantly over the ye

Dear All, I am delighted to announce that following on from the success of the Hot Stuff book I am opening the archive to be viewed and enjoyed by all in a newly fitted custom display space in central London. It's not quite ready yet but it will be by the London dates and the space will display over five times more stuff than the mini museum that I opened in my home for the last tour

Yes, the full story is a long story but in short ChrisL found the tape in my archives while we were researching Hot Stuff. We spent the best part of two years going through my stuff every Saturday picking out what to put in the book. The tape was mysteriously named CS/MJ and ChrisL had seen a piece where Carly had appealed to find the tape. Well it was there in my archive ;-) I contacted h

Dam! I completely missed this auction being a photo one… appears to be a lot but not compared with the other stuff that sold by Robert. One of the best pieces of Frank related pieces I have is a hand signed letter by him on his headed paper asking for more footage on the plane for the making of @#$%& blues!

Wow! Thank you so much…. As of an hour ago there were only 80 copies left! “Hot Stuff” has become one of Genesis’ fastest selling books on any subject by anyone ever. I am very aware my signature is worth nothing and it’s almost embarrassing to sign each copy but as a collector I understand people like signed books even if the author isn’t famous. I have plundered my archives to find 2,50

WOW! Thank you all, I am humbled.

It’s been rebranded Unzipped and I haven’t seen it since then but it still has plenty of my stuff. Charlie bless him called their first contract the most poignant item in the exhibition (Brian went off to sign it alone). The exhibition also has my copy of their first recording at IBC studio, my Street Fighting Mam sleeve and a bunch of my posters. I assume they still have the really cool part

It’s likely Woody meant all the other Stones titles. I have deluxe and collector of each Stones title plus several non Stones including all the Woody ones of course. I am such a fan of their work. Each publication is a work of art.

QuoteSomeTorontoGirl Can we select our own picks? It would be hard to accommodate all requests, there is a very high mix of Keith ones but also so Ronnie, Mick, Charlie, City, etc… There will be at least 5 items in each set. We are just figuring this out! Other confirmed items are original back stage signs, a laminate pass, a satin pass and a concert handbill. I am working on maybe a coup

I have all the other publications and I am interested,but wonder why they haven’t priced it ? It’s not been priced yet because we haven’t quite finalised the specification.

This is just the biggest honour to have been asked to do a special edition of Hot Stuff with Genesis Publications. Back in the late 90’s I was a student and dreamed of having their beautiful books. We are adding a detailed solo section as well as some iconic pieces that I have acquired in the last ten months since the original edition went to press. Most excitingly I am selecting five pieces o
