Love the sixties? Still love the old world?

Love the sixties? Still love the old world?

Well it's a great decade from which to start a collection. It was perhaps the most exciting time for the newly emerging genre of music photography: brash young image conscious bands were cutting their musical teeth and at the same time, specialist music photographers were capturing them in the studio, on the street and stage, creating a series of iconic images along the way.

A fine place to kick off is with the archive of British photographer David Wedgbury, who worked with The Who, The Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithfull, Small Faces, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Tom Jones, and even a young Julio Iglesius. It wasn't just the well known - he also worked with criminally obscure bands such as The Mockingbirds, who cut fine a image (as well as some fine vinyl). Out of everything that we offer, the photographs of his that we love best are not actually of anyone famous: they are a pair of Cavern Club scenes, showing a bunch of teenage boys / teenage girls in the line for a concert by The Big Three in 1963, the guys pictured here, in a shot from their 'Live at The Cavern' EP cover shoot.

Limited editions are available in a range of sizes, starting at under GBP 100 for a limited edition photograph.
