Requiem for a Stone
NEWS OF THE WORLD
London News Ltd. July 6 1969.
Description:
The News of the World report of the 5th July 1969 "Stones in the Park" free festival in Hyde Park, headlined by The Rolling Stones. Intended as a return to the stage for the Stones after an absence of two years, and as an introduction of their new guitarist Mick Taylor, the festival was overshadowed by the death, on 3rd July, of Brian Jones. As a result, it became a "Requiem for a Stone". This copy of the News of the World (595x398mm) contains only pp1-4 and 15-18 but the report of the concert appeared on the front page with, on page three, "The truth about Brian Jones". Sold with two black and white photographs of Mick Jagger on the stage at the concert.
