The Stone Roses are one of the most important British bands of the past forty years. Formed in Manchester in 1983, their self-titled debut album (1989) fused psychedelia, funk and indie guitar music into a sound that defined the late 1980s Manchester scene and laid the groundwork for the Britpop explosion that followed. Their influence on British guitar music is immeasurable.
Behind The Gallery holds an exclusive collection of Stone Roses photography by Ian Tilton — the photographer who documented the band more comprehensively than anyone else. Tilton's images, shot between 1988 and 1989 in Manchester, Blackpool and at Granada TV Studios, are among the most historically significant photographs in British music: the band's first professional photo sessions, captured just as they were on the cusp of everything.
All prints are hand-signed by Ian Tilton and produced as archival limited editions, printed to museum-quality standards. Ships worldwide.
