Over 10,000 pieces acquired
As the Rolling Stones continue to celebrate their 60th anniversary, renowned Los Angeles landmark Rockaway Records has acquired an extensive collection of Rolling Stones vinyl and memorabilia with over 10,000 items including rare LPs & 45s, vintage t-shirts from 1973-1983, dozens of concert posters from 1969-1978, promotional items and more. Major highlights include a copy of “Beast of Burden,” the second rarest Rolling Stones picture sleeve 45 and a 1977 promotional hanging display designed by Andy Warhol. The collection comes from late longtime fan, collector, and famous skateboarder Brad “Squeak” Blanck, a well-known and beloved figure in the Rolling Stones community.
This collection is already attracting buyers including Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, who purchased a rare set of 1978 UK promo posters for “Some Girls.”
“We have bought many amazing collections over the past 45 years, but this is definitely the most exciting one in a long time! Some of the highlights are a 1967 ‘Satanic Majesties’ lenticular that is different from the one on the album cover, 1970s t-shirts that look like new, and a 1977 promotional display for “Love You Live” that was designed by Andy Warhol,” shares Rockaway Records’ Wayne Johnson.
Following the success of Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Beatles and 1970s punk collections, Rockaway continues to be the premiere destination for collectors who seek unique, hard to find pieces of music memorabilia from their favorite artists.
