My thanks to Phyll Smith, Don Lickley, Paul Kaczmarek and for feeding me with material and insights. This was greaser rock ‘n’ roll for the new generation and Mean and Filthy had their bedroom walls covered. The three Rock Revival posters link effortlessly with Farren and Barker’s Watch Out Kids and with the aesthetic of Ian Sippen and Peter Shertser’s Union Pacific label. #36 – Paul McCartney (PK has found references to this but has not seen a copy).Ĭ1 – Eric Clapton (PK has not seen a copy only references to it in sales invoices) #8 – ‘Beatles scene’ (drawing by Richard O’Mahoney) Other posters that are of interest include: The numbering system used related to the sequence of release and was not a continuation of the Rock Revival series, so Jimi Hendrix was Unicorn’s 14th poster (with two variants), it was also based on a Vytas Serelis illustration. They were heavily reprinted in the early 1970s with some 10,000 in distribution. There are three variants of the Dylan poster (black/grey, orange and green versions). These three, along with the Dylan and Hendrix, were the only Mean and Filthy productions – all first published March 1968. Rock Revival 3 – Eddie Cochran (2,500 printed) Rock Revival 2 – Elvis Presley (2,565 printed)
Rock Revival 1 - Gene Vincent (2,622 printed) There were only three titles directly related to the ‘Rock Revival’ series: Paul Kaczmarek, who worked with Bill Butler, has very kindly provided the following information about the various rock related posters the shop printed and sold.
Guevara, Dylan, Hendrix and Eddie Cochran – heroes of the revolution
