Provisional Specifications 250 illus. 264 pp 325 x 285mm Hardback £45.00 / $70.00 Autumn 2019 1 • Includes many rare and unseen photos of the band, on and off stage • Extensive commentary throughout from top photographers: Terry O’Neill, Michael Brennan and Baron Wolman • A mixture of black & white and colour photography • Edited by Dave Lewis, the author of several acclaimed Led Zeppelin books Led Zeppelin Live 1975-1977 Iconic Images, edited by Dave Lewis Between 1975 and 1977, there is little doubt that Led Zeppelin reigned supreme as the biggest band in the world. Bigger audiences, bigger stage settings, bigger venues—lights, lasers and dragon suits. All this combined to produce some of the most iconic images of the 1970s rock era. That era comes firmly under the spotlight inLed Zeppelin Live, 1975–1977. The book profiles the work of three highly respected photographers. Terry O’Neill was on hand to capture Led Zeppelin at Earl’s Court in London on 23 May 1975, at Tampa Stadium, Florida on 3 June 1977, and at New York’s Madison Square Garden on 7 June of the same year. Similarly in the right place at the right time was Michael Brennan. In early 1975, Brennan travelled with the band on their rented luxury jet, a Boeing 720B known as The Starship. He was then in close proximity for their show on 31 January 1975 at Detroit’s Olympia Stadium. San Francisco-based, former Rolling Stone magazine photographer Baron Wolman was in attendance to capture what would turn out to be Led Zeppelin’s final performances in America. In front of 50,000 fans each day, they performed in the open air at the Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, California, on the afternoons of 23 and 24 July 1977. Wolman’s chronicling of the band in stark daylight offers a unique portrayal of their final appearances in a large stadium setting. 9781851498963 200 col. 192 pp 300 x 237mm Hardback £29.95 / $45.00 Published 2 • Celebrates the career of one of the top British fashion photographers from the 60s-70s • Created with the full support of the Duffy archive • New edition includes striking new snaps, including a dedicated new section on David Bowie Duffy As famous as the stars he photographed, Brian Duffy defined the image of Swinging London in the 1960s. Together with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, Duffy is recognised as one of the innovators of ‘documentary’ fashion photography, a style which revolutionised the industry. Their attitude and aesthetic iconified the scene, birthing the cult of the fashion photographer and inspiring the famous filmBlow-Up (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966). As Duffy put it, “Before 1960, a fashion photographer was tall, thin and camp. But we three are different: short, fat and heterosexual!” The press nicknamed the three photographers ‘The Terrible Three’, while Norman Parkinson added to their notoriety by naming them ‘The Black Trinity’. Duffy’s most famous photograph is the ‘Mona Lisa of pop’, the cover of Bowie’s Aladdin Sane. He collaborated with the artist over eight years and exerted a direct influence on the numerous reinventions of Bowie’s image. It is fitting, therefore, that this new edition should expand on their work together with new images. This new edition of Duffy also features other, new images from the photographer’s archive, depicting both star and photographer in their prime. 9781788840088 224pp 290 x 232 mm Hardback £45.00 / $65.00 Spring 2019 3 4 • Filmmaker and renowned photographer Jerry Schatzberg’s essential iconic photographs of Bob Dylan, including studio portraits, on-stage performances, recording studio outtakes and more – many published for the first time • The photographer of the cover and liner images of Dylan’s acclaimed 1966 album Blonde on Blonde • Widely recognised as the foremost body of images of Bob Dylan, Nobel laureate, from a pinnacle point in his career • Schatzberg’s essential images not only stand the test of time, but also have become visually synonymous with one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. Dylan by Schatzberg is a comprehensive record of those moments, in photos and memories presented for the first time as a single subject monograph Dylan by Schatzberg Jerry Schatzberg In 1965, photographer Jerry Schatzberg listened to Bob Dylan for the first time. Shortly thereafter, Dylan’s new wife called to offer an open invitation to the studio where he was recording ‘Highway 61 Revisited’. Dylan gave Schatzberg free rein of the studio and the images that emerged from that day make obvious the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere that was already brewing between photographer and subject. Considering Dylan’s almost-universal dislike of journalists (and by extension, photographers), this was a completely unprecedented situation, one that Schatzberg took seriously. The almost-instant trust and rapport quickly grew into a friendship and are part of the reason Schatzberg’s sittings with Dylan work so successfully and are so important. Dylan is relaxed, he’s funny, he takes the props that the photographer gives him and has fun with them—he’s obviously not taking himself too seriously. Working and socialising together, Schatzberg would eventually do nine more photo shoots with Dylan between 1965 and 1966, arguably the singer’s most creative period, and capture the (now) Nobel laureate during one of the most pivotal moments in music history. Part of their uniqueness is their broad range of intimate and public locations: music and photography studios, live performances, and street portraits. But more than that, each session (including the one for possibly his greatest album, Blonde on Blonde) says something different about Dylan, the man and the musician, and manages to capture perfectly the many facets of one of the most unique, complex and mysterious individuals of all time. 9781851498932 100 col. 150 b.&w. 262 pp 325 x 285mm Hardback £45.00 / $70.00 Published 5 • Take a tour of the rich rock history behind one of London’s most famous and nefarious hotels • Sensational and sordid tales narrated by writer Tony Barrell • Features stories and shots of major music icons including Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix and Madonna Hard Rock Hotel London Tony Barrell With a finger on the pulse of the twentieth-century music scene – tapping along to the beat, in fact – the Hard Rock Hotel, previously known as the Cumberland, was second home to some of the brightest stars on record. Buddy Holly stayed here during his only British tour, less than a year before his tragic death. The Rolling Stones paid Bo Diddley a visit in his suite. Jimi Hendrix gave his final interviews from the Cumberland, named as the place of residence on his death certificate. And, most infamously, it was on the fifth floor of the Cumberland Hotel where a besotted fan with a revolver held Shirley Bassey hostage in 1957. From Bob Dylan to Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross, from Little Richard to Madonna and A-Ha, each suite is steeped in stories. Whether they were wining and dining, giving interviews to the press, or looking for a place within walking distance of Pye Studios, where some of the most iconic pop songs of the sixties and seventies were recorded, the Cumberland was the place to be. The Hard Rock Hotel honours its roots with this incredible collection of shots, capturing the glamour, drama, sex, drugs and (of course) the rock ’n’ roll. 9781788840095 150 col. 192 pp 290 x 237mm Hardback £29.95, $45.00 Spring 2019 6 • Exclusive never-before-seen photos of Ali and other stars of the ’70s boxing scene • Celebrates one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time, as well as those who went up against him in the ring • This edition also includes a special introductory essay by the late, great Jimmy Breslin They Must Fall Muhammad Ali and the Men He Fought Photography and Words by Michael Brennan Introduction by Jimmy Breslin From award-wining photographer Michael Brennan comes a book dedicated to some of the most powerful and moving figures from the world of boxing.
