This one was taken on the 2001 Days of Speed Tour. We really like the crop and the lighting on this - it puts the emphasis onto his knees, feet, the stool and his guitar. There's great movement in this picture: see how Paul's foot is caught mid bounce by Lawrence.

A variant of the 1966 album cover photograph. Gered recalls: "This photograph is an out-take from the "Between the Buttons" album cover session. It was taken very early on a beautiful morning after an all night recording session. The Stones always recorded through the night and I thought that their "look" after one of these gruelling sessions might capture an image that would be right for the time. The band's manager and producer Andrew Loog Oldham agreed, as did the band, and at about 5.30 a.m. we all set off in a procession of limousines for Primrose Hill. I had built a rather clumsy filter of black card, glass and Vaseline, which I hoped would create a strange, ethereal and slightly "stoned" look to the photos. In spite of Brian Jones being rather unhelpful some of the time, and all of us feeling the bitter early morning chill, the photos turned out better than I could have wished for and the cover image has become one of my most famous and enduring photos of the Stones".

A bedrock for any Stones collection. Gered recalls: "This image became my first cover for the band, and was the fulfilment of a dream for me at the age of 18. The original negative for this image was lost years ago, probably stolen from my studio where security was lax to say the least, but it was recently returned to me, having been found in an old lock-up in West London. After careful restoration I am now able to produce these beautiful prints. One of these prints is now part of the permanent collection at the National Portrait Gallery in London."

Signed limited edition photograph on 50 x 53 inch paper, edition of 24. Unframed price excluding VAT. Gered recalls: "This shot of Jimi smoking has become one of the most famous images of the great musician ever taken. Jimi laughed a great deal and had a great sense of humour; however the look of the time was for everybody to be sullen and moody, but in spite of that a lot of my favourite photos have caught Jimi smiling."

Signed limited edition photograph on 50x53 inch paper, edition of 24. Unframed price excluding VAT. Gered recalls: "This photograph is from my first shoot with Jimi and has become my most famous image of the great musician. He was very easy to work with, and would arrive at the studio looking perfect. He was a very quiet and gentle person, and he laughed a great deal."

Ormond Yard London 1965 Gered recalls: "Shot just outside my Ormond Yard studio, this portrait of the band features two of Britain's greatest guitarists; Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. I was very pleased to have captured the bowler hatted city type as he passed by in the background!" There is certainly more than meets the eye in this picture. We actually think this photograph is a perfect example of one of Henri Cartier-Bresson's "decisive moments". Here's why. Well, it goes without saying that the band were posed by Gered, so its nothing to do with that. It's the fact that closer examination of what is going on in the background reveals a veritable microcosm of 1960's British society. Gered himself mentions the upper class gent in the bowler hat who appears between Keith Relf's legs, looking towards the camera. But look further back and see who is also there, also framed by the Relf thighs - it appears to be a working man in overalls and flat cap walking towards our bowler hatted friend. And then look to the right and see what's going on between Jimmy Page's legs...it's a genuine 1960s beat girl, nicely framed by a doorway she is passing. Prices are shown excluding VAT.
