The Rolling Stones rare 1970 Decca poster

"Let It Bleed" was the Stones' final original studio album under their deal with Decca Records (London in the US).  The labels would put out the excellent live "Get Yer Ya-Yas Out" (1970), and compilations "Hot Rocks" (1971) and "More Hot Rocks" (1972) along with tons of unnecesary compilations for the next two decades (plus an interesting outtakes compilation in 1976, "Metamorphosis").

But in 1970, as the Stones ascended the showbiz ladder, the label wanted to remind listeners about their 1960s output... albums and singles which the group had accidentally signed away to Manager Allen Klein.

This rare and fascinating poster recently surfaced, advertising the London/Decca years.

And as a side note, from the same blog (Gary Rocks), here's a rare billboard-that-never-was for "Let It Bleed."
