Tell us body type for pop stars – big head, wide shoulders more… “It was an adventure,” Gered laughs. “That was and tiny bum. Jagger and Hendrix were perfect...” THE ROLLING STONES This is from the first session I did with the Stones in April 1965. It was a week after a national newspaper called them ‘animals who should be caged’ because they’d peed on a garage forecourt after they were refused permission to use the toilet. The building site was in Ormond Yard on the other side of my studio and I thought it would make an interesting, unexpected backdrop for them – unglamorous and gritty. I also shot them behind one of the cages used for moving the bricks around, as a jokey way of putting a finger up to the media who’d branded them ‘animals’. classicrockmagazine.com 77 GETTY GUY STEVENS We went to Guy’s flat in Earls Court, cleared the room and filled it with his records, to give the shot a beatnik feel and show his dedication to music. LPs were precious in those days, they were how you made a connection with other people. Guy had the largest collection of American R&B in the country and in 1963 he was head of Island Records’ Sue label. This portrait was done for the cover of The Sue Story. I had a club called The Pickwick, opposite Ken Colyer’s in Great Newport Street, and Guy supplied our records – Mockingbird by Inez & Charlie Foxx is still one of my favourites. ERIC CLAPTON (TOP) AND BUDDY GUY (RIGHT) These shots were taken in March 1969 for an ill-fated TV spectacular called Supershow. The idea was to get musicians from the blues, jazz and rock genres to jam together in supergroups – Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Led Zeppelin, Buddy Miles, Stephen Stills and others. Unfortunately it didn’t work. The atmosphere was disorganised and chaotic, and most of the musicians were uptight because they didn’t know what they were supposed to be doing. I caught Eric waiting to go on by the side of the stage. The blues part went well and watching Buddy Guy was a treat. The gig took place in a disused lino factory in Staines, and my travelling companion was Roland Kirk, a blind jazz musician who could play several instruments at once. He was like a walking orchestra. Everywhere he went he had a melodica around his neck and drumsticks in his pockets. We THE YARDBIRDS got into the cab and he felt for the flip-up seat opposite him and started This shot captures the bashing that in a bass drum rhythm, playing his melodica and, with the band with Jimmy Page other hand, beating out a rhythm on the plastic grab handles. We had and Jeff Beck. I already crazy music for the whole journey. knew Jimmy quite well through his session work. This was done in Ormond Yard, near my studio. It was a tempestuous lineup [barely lasting six months], but they really wanted to assert themselves as a group. In the background you can see a flat-capped worker, a dolly bird and the symbol of the British establishment striding past in his bowler hat, snapped between the legs of singer Keith Relf. 78 classicrockmagazine.com classicrockmagazine.com 79 P.P. ARNOLD We did this shot on Wimbledon Common. Patricia came to London as one of Ike & Tina’s backing singers The Ikettes, but Mick Jagger persuaded her to leave and sign to Immediate as a solo artist. I came up with her stage name, it seemed like a good idea at the time! Pat Arnold didn’t sound right, so I suggested P.P. as it was cute, and she’s adorable. Immediate Records was like an extended family and everyone felt involved. DANA GILLESPIE This is Dana in the hippyish living room of her flat in Knightsbridge in the early 70s. On the piano there’s some esoteric blues sheet music and you can see the Ry Cooder album on the floor. She has an extraordinary knowledge of all sorts of music and made a lot of blues albums, some of which have been on the Ace label. I did all her album sleeves for Decca in the 60s. THE PEDDLERS Bass player Tab Martin, keyboardist and vocalist Roy Phillips and drummer Trevor Morais formed jazz-blues trio The Peddlers in Manchester in 1964. They became regulars on London’s established club scene and built up a celebrity following throughout the 60s.

  • THE EXPERIENCE Jimi Hendrix at Mason’S Yard
    Immagini classiche e inedite di Gered Mankowitz THE EXPERIENCE Jimi Hendrix at Mason’s Yard 15.03 | 13.05.2012 Wall of sound gallery Jimi Hendrix è stato il pifferaio magico del rock. — JoHn Lennon Purple Haze Quest’anno Jimi Hendrix compirebbe 70 anni. Non solo, sono trascorse pure 45 primavere dalla sua esibizione incendiaria al Monte- rey Pop Festival. Poteva Wall Of Sound Gallery lasciarsi sfuggire la ghiotta occasione di portare – in esclusiva assoluta per l’Italia - una selezione delle immagini più fa- mose del chitarrista di Seattle, realizzate dal grande Gered Mankowitz? “tHe experience. Jimi Hendrix at mason’s Yard” non può dirsi una semplice mostra. Mankowitz da anni sperimenta nuove tecniche digitali per impreziosire le sue immagini, ricorrendo anche a grandi formati e a tecniche e soluzioni espositive che includono la serigrafia, l’uso di carte metallizzate, tridimensionali “lenticulars”, scatole luminose, “Softsharps” dal fuoco selettivo a seconda di come le si guardi e montaggi diretti su plexiglass. Tutto concorre a enfatizzare l’immagine del “più gran- de chitarrista di tutti i tempi” come icona assoluta della Storia del rock. Per questa prima esposizione delle sue fotografie di Hendrix Mankowitz ha riaperto i suoi archivi selezionando un gran numero di immagini inedite da affiancare a quel- le già storicizzate. È stupefacente come fotografie entrate ormai nell’immaginario collettivo come quella della copertina di questo catalogo (l’ultimo scatto del primo rullino!) siano il risultato di due sole photo sessions realizzate nel 1967 nello studio di Mankowitz in Mason’s Yard, nel cuore di Londra. Il racconto completo di quelle sessions è oggetto di un prezioso volume edito da Insight Publications, The Experien- ce.

  • Led Zeppelin
    For Linda, Evie, Mollie and Michael – always. Author’s Note While I have been fortunate over the years to have enjoyed the company of various ex-members and/or former employees of Led Zeppelin, it should be born in mind at all times that this is an unauthorised biography, written objectively and with no undue pressure from any outside influence to do anything other than tell the story as I honestly see it. It should also be clearly understood that the italicised ‘flashback’ passages of the text are not the actual words of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Peter Grant, nor are they actual quotes. Whilst they are all based on thorough biographical research, the facts of which can be found in the Notes & Sources section at the end of this book, the words themselves are the product of my imagination.

  • Out of Our Heads the ROLLING STONES*/December's Children (And
    out of our heads The ROLLING STONES*/december’s children (and everybody’s) The ROLLING STONES* It’s Going To Be Confusing There is a picture, a great picture, a familiar picture and it appeared on two Stones’ albums with different names. Then, there is an album with a UK version and a US version, Out Of Our Heads, that has two different pictures. The photo below was taken by Gered Mankowitz. It appeared on the cover of the Rolling Stones third UK album, Out Of Our Heads (OOOH). It also appeared on the fifth US studio album, december’s children (and everybody’s) THE ROLLING STONES* (DC). The US version of OOOH has a photograph taken by David Bailey’s photo session for Rolling Stones No. 2. It looked like this. Let’s review. There are two versions of OOOH with two different photos. The photo on the UK version was also used for a US only album DC. The Stones were young, they had no idea where this thing of theirs was headed. Their manager was young, 19 when he started. The photographer was 18 when he took this photo. The Stones were talented, passionate, and young. In the early days they tended to gravitate toward people with the same qualities. This is the story of Gered Mankowitz and the photograph seen above and Andrew Loog Oldham, manager and creator of the Rolling Stones image, so ably reflected in that photograph above. The Title Mick Jagger described the title of the UK album out of our heads as something of a taunt: “Yes, we’re as crazy as you think we are and probably high, as well.” A line had been drawn in the sand, and there was no doubt where the Stones stood, they were out of their heads, just as Oldham would have us all believe.
