An original, framed, four-sided piece of Mirage Music Ltd. sheet music for the 1968 Rolling Stones song 'Jumpin Jack Flash' by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It is a rare piece of sheet music, but here all the rarer with Mick Jaggers signature. I can trace no other signed example.This was previously owned by one of the Biba Girls, the iconic 60s fashion shop and this is where is was signed by Mick Jagger.

The present example was owned by Tolkien's uncle, W.B. Incledon who later gifted it to a friend. Inscribed by Incledon: C.S.C. / from / W.B. Incledon. / Rottingdean / Jan? 1938/

This impression was printed in December of 1937 in an edition of 2300 copies (423 of which were destroyed at the warehouse of the binder, Key and Whiting, in the bombing of London on November 7th 1940). This example with the connection to the Tolkien family is one of a kind and has been held in the consignee's family by descent since 1938. One does presume that the book was originally given to his uncle by Tolkien himself.
