David Wedgbury (1937-98) was the first staff photographer to be employed by Decca Records, who had signed the Rolling Stones in May 1963. Decca was a major UK pop record company of the 1960s, in competition with EMI, label to the Beatles. The Gallery holds over thirty of Wedgbury's portraits from this period, including his 1968 photograph of the Stones taken at the Elizabeth Rooms, London, when the band organised a press launch for the release of their album Beggars Banquet.
