17711Original poster from the short-lived boutique started by the Beatles in Kings Road, Chelsea, 1967/8.
I have a small collection of these. Sold a few to Christies for £95+.
See; http://www.formidablemag.com/fool/
Available to AOS at £80, post inc to UK.
Posters are 30 X 20 inches. Will come in a tube.
They came from when the place was closed. The mural was originally on the outside wall of the shop-until local inhabitants complained! (I bet they wish it was there now? Shades of Banksy, here in Bristol....I tried to get my market to let me have a Graffiti show here in 80s......"What? That trash?"......!!)
I was at same school with 2 Beatles- and George once worked for a friend's Dad as Saturday boy!
These are NOT copies but last few remaining original ones - they weren't meant as museum pieces-it WAS the 60s!
I can't get the pic of poster to load here! (too big-me an ignoramus, re computers!) But it is identical to the pic of the external wall in the article (with Paddington Street sign on) and I can send a pic to anyone who asks.

Sorry Chris, we really do need a photograph of the actual item you are wanting to sell. Them's the rules.
Do you have a digital camera an a photo hosting site you can use? Have another try - but if you haven't posed any images by the end of the weekend, we will have to pull the ad.

Received my poster safe and sound and very pleased. Its a unique item and I suspect very few are still around and even less in such amazing condition 51 years later.

JOhn Lee Hooker (+ early Stones, Rod stewart...) played in Corn Exchange where my cafe (later!) was situated. Was then used as wedding receptions, plus the oddly named 'Chinese Blues Club'.
A few 'Fool' posters still available.

But then, there are people on 'Eggheads' who know nothing about the Beatles.
Whereas, in LA.......https://abc7.com/entertainment/eye-on-la-presents-the-legends-of-laurel-canyon/5318245/?fbclid=IwAR3fNDXO2ZE1Lt1it6_d0DL3knjsNPRwvB3qUwov YcrbtncwBU9oybR91oo
