Departures magazine has a famous face on its cover,perhaps for the first time. It appears that its editor Richard David Story,known for not “trafficiking in celebrities to sell the magazine” couldn’t resist this never seen before photograph of Mick Jagger that was taken in 1963,before he became a household name. This is what its Photographer Terry ONeill said when he described the scene: The boys were in the dressing room waiting to go on,and Mick was wearing this fur-hooded parka and lurking around. I got this one straight portrait out of him before he started sticking his tongue out I got that one,too. But back then newspapers and magazines wanted clean-cut young men in suits and mop-top haircuts. (the latter is quoted in WWD).
