Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts Original 1966 Photograph from ‘Thank Your Lucky Stars’ Original 1966 semi-glossy 7.25 x 9.5 silver gelatin photograph of Mick Jagger on the set of ABC-TV’s Thank Your Lucky Stars. He stands in a striped jacket with Charlie Watts at the drums behind him, and a figure seated cross-legged with a sitar, likely Brian Jones, is partly hidden behind Jagger. The reverse is dated in another hand "8 May 1966" and captioned "Rolling Stones (Mick Jagger), ABC-TV's 'Thank Your Lucky Stars.'" It is also annotated "A new pic. of Mick Jagger of the 'Stones.' One film cancelled, another planned for September." The reverse also bears stamps from St. Cross Features Ltd., London, and stamps and labels from the Aquarius Picture Library, Hastings. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing and light corner wear. The Rolling Stones taped their final appearance on Thank Your Lucky Stars at Birmingham’s Alpha Studios on May 8, 1966, miming to ‘Lady Jane’ and ‘Paint It Black’ for broadcast on May 14. Featuring Brian Jones’s distinctive sitar part, ‘Paint It Black’ was released by Decca in the United Kingdom on May 13, the day before the program aired.
