Michael Putland (1947-2019) recalled: I went to David's home, which was a flat in Haddon Hall in Beckenham, to take some photographs for Disc and Music Echo. Bowie came to the door, cigarette in one hand, paintbrush in the other, wearing a one piece catsuit I had seen him perform in on stage a little while before. "Hello mate" he said. "I'm painting my ceiling. Do you mind if I finish it?" And that was how I found myself with a wonderful set of photos of the great man up a ladder waiting the ceiling dressed in his stage clothes, with a matching hat to keep the paint drips off his hair.

Michael Spencer Jones: Oasis – Be Here Now – Rolls Royce in pool
£ 395 – £ 4,950Whether or not Keith Moon drove a Rolls-Royce, a Chrysler Wimbledon or indeed any other car into a swimming pool, and whether or not the pool had water in it at the time, does not really matter. It was a symbolic statement of rock’n’roll excess, and Bonehead was right - it was a great basis for an album cover. The original number plate on the Rolls Royce, MDH 119K was changed to SYO 724F. This was the number plate featured on the police van on the cover of Abbey Road; another nod to rock ‘n’ roll cultural history. -
