The Rolling Stones signed vinyl record of "Black and Blue". Signed the Rolling Stones' album "Black and Blue". This one was released by Rolling Stones Records in 1976. The cover adopts a hyper-realistic close-up collage style, combining close-ups of the faces of the core members of the band through layering and color superimposition to create a strong visual impact - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Lonny Wood, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts signed on the cover with black markers. This makes it an extremely rare and historically significant item.

Dimensions: Vinyl records Size 12 1/4 x 12 1/6 in.

Note: The album features 8 songs, blending various elements such as rock, funk, reggae and soul. It is an experimental work by the Rolling Stones to explore the boundaries of music. Representative tracks include: "Hot Stuff", "Memory Motel", "Cherry Oh Baby", etc. The album centers on "instrumental improvisation + style crossover". A large number of tracks (such as "Melody" and "Hey Negrita") retained the original texture of the jam sections during recording, embodying the Rolling Stones' creative concept of "the studio as the stage". "Black and Blue" marks a turning point for the Rolling Stones from the "mid-1970s transformation pains" to the "second spring of creation". With its experimental style fusion and lineup formation, it has become a classic case of "transformation is rebirth" in the history of rock. Its influence spans creation, industry and culture, and it continues to shape the diverse possibilities of rock to this day. The version with the band members' autographs is a "transitional specimen" in the rock collecting world - it not only records the formation of the lineup after Ronnie Wood's joining, but also becomes a classic case of rock visual art in the 1970s due to the experimental design of the cover. This album is often sold at high prices in the auction market due to "historical milestones + design scarcity" - its estimated value is between 60,000 and 80,000 US dollars.
