LONDON.- Itʼs a story that would give any photographer sleepless nights. A classic photo-session for one of the biggest bands on the planet, The Rolling Stones, for the cover of one of their most critically acclaimed albums, "Sticky Fingers". Disaster then strikes, as British photographer Peter Webbʼs negatives go missing soon after the 1971 shoot. Then, out of nowhere, they are discovered again after almost 40 years. Detailed scanning of the negatives reveals a collection of previously unpublished photographs of The Rolling Stones, group shots and solo portraits, in black and white and colour. Many of these are now to be shown together in a gallery exhibition for the first time at Snap Galleries space in central London, some in sizes up to 6 ft. wide.
