Rolling Stones koncertowali po całym świecie, nawet za "Żelazną kurtyną". 13 kwietnia 1967 roku zawitali do Polski.
Zamiast niewymienialnych złotówek grupa dostała jako zapłatę dwa wagony wódki. Niestety nie mogli jej wywieźć do Wielkiej Brytanii, ponieważ cło przewyższałoby kilkakrotnie wartość "honorarium".
Rolling Stones received royalties in American dollars and Polish zlotys. The
part of the sum in zlotys was equivalent to the price of three
Polish-produced Warszawa cars (around zl.300,000). The Stones, however,
were not allowed to take a suitcase full of Polish money abroad and
exchanging the money into foreign currency in communist Poland was out
of the question. The story has it that the Stones exchanged the money
for two wagons of Polish vodka which they subsequently never collected, as
the duty they would have to pay in Britain was several times higher than
what the vodka was worth.
