In the early 1960s, as Beatlemania swept the world, more British bands began springing to the forefront of the popular music scene, causing what is now known as the "British Invasion". The Rolling Stones led the charge of the bands, releasing their self-titled debut album in 1964. The album consisted of mostly covers of American blues and rock songs while the Stones built up their fan following. The founder and de factor leader of the Stones, Brian Jones, was booted from the Stones in 1969 due to drug and alcohol problems. He would die in a tragic accident a monthy later, the first of the numerous legendary musicians to die at the age of 27. Offered here is an orgiinal pressing of the 1964 album signed on the cover by all five members of the Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts. All have signed in blue pen with the exception of Richards, who signed in red, adding a star beneath his name. In fine condition with scattered handling wear and toning, expected from age. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
