Mind you, don't think the record labels are interested in it either, remember the old days when a band might release 6 or 7 albums before getting a hit?!!! <br /><br />Martin - it was a treat, but i'm sure it'll be out and about again at some point.

It was a peach of a exhib mate, but hopefully it'll turn up in some form or other at some point. Well worth a look.<br /><br />Hi Ist - No, all the shots are inside. So in some ways, they could have been taken anywhere, but it's the same manky sink, and crabby dressing room behind most of the shots! Thats what made this so special... had these megs just got split up and off to 4 corners of the globe, nobody would have known where they were taken, but as they had miraculously all been kept together, the continuity was there. The nearest to any Southend type landmark was the 'Hodges and Johnson' piano I mentioned in the post.<br /><br />PPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-67443393451746840762009-11-29T19:41:22.545+00:002009-11-29T19:41:22.545+00:00I love that shot of Harrison and Epstein.

I think you're right, there would probably be more people up for this than perhaps they realise. I guess it's easy to look at this as 'local interest', but take a step back and it's global! What Beatles and Stones fans wouldn't wanna see never before seen pics of their idols in their prime?<br /><br />Mondo - Yeah a real winner. Was buzzin on it for days after. Only luck and me hapening to ask the right question that got 'the box' out to play!! It's a small gallery, so I guess they had to just pick the best ones, but shame a photo album or such like couldn't have been set up for people to at least see the remainder (there were quite a few). The prices were steep (£90 for the 8x8's, £120 and £240 for ther 12x12's, and a whopping £400 for the 16x16's) and there is no way i could justify that sort of money for what is, at the end of the day, a photograph. But I'd be happy to pay 50 or 60 for a nice book with some quality repros in - be nice to include the stuff from the box too.<br /><br />Hi Mark, good to see you back here again! I'm with you all the way. Yes, pictures on the net are 'handy' and 'convenient', but there is no replacement for holding a quality photo in the hand and enjoying it. As I said above, I'd buy one, and i'm sure it would cross over to general music fans of that era.<br /><br />ISBW - Hmmm, not sure. Poor 'ol Peggy went some years ago (at one point she literally lived in the road next to mine in Leigh-on-Sea).... <br /><br />OK, here's a list of people who came from the Southend, Leigh, Basildon type area and made good (and promptly f**ked off mostly!)<br /><br />Jake Shillingford (My Life Story), but now lives in your neck of the woods.<br /><br />The Horrors<br /><br />The Baddies<br /><br />Menswear<br /><br />Get Cape Wear Cape Fly<br /><br />Helen Mirren was a Leigh-on-Sea gal<br /><br />Vivian Stanshall (from the Bonzos)<br /><br />Phill Jupitus is a regular face around Leigh-on-Sea<br /><br />Domonic Littlewood (annoying bald bloke from the one show)<br /><br />Lee Evans<br /><br />Warren Ellis <br /><br />Gary Wilmott<br /><br />Phil Cornwell (i think)<br /><br />Robin Trower<br /><br />Peter Green <br /><br />Alison Moyet<br /><br />Depeche Mode<br /><br />Terry Alderton<br /><br />Denise Van Outan <br /><br />Blimey, thats more than I thought!!
