David Corio recalls: "This photo of Bruce Springsteen was taken from the audience - I hadn’t got a photo pass but was lucky enough to get a ticket for the show and I managed to get near to the stage at the huge Wembley Arena. Apart from a couple of shows in 1975 this was the first big concert in Europe for ‘The Boss’ as he is affectionately known. He was famous for his energetic sets and this show lasted for three hours and he didn’t stop moving for the entire show. He climbed up onto the speakers, leaped across the stage and pulled girls out from the audience to dance or sing with him. Springsteen supports many social causes, keeps to his working–class roots and speaks out very strongly on political issues. He has donated money to war veterans groups, endorsed Barack Obama early in his political campaign and most recently took part in fund-raising events for Haiti after the earthquake. He still lives in New Jersey where he was born - his 1973 debut album ‘Greetings From Asbury Park’, was named after the run-down sea-side resort where he still occasionally plays the tiny Stone Pony Club (capacity - 775 people) . A contrast to the 137,000 people that were at the Glastonbury festival when he performed in 2009!"

In Spines #6 Springsteen, Keith Haynes recreates the spines of Bruce Springsteen albums to form this beautiful new limited edition print. The starting point is Keith’s own record collection, which he supplements with missing albums he needs for the piece. These sleeves are used as research materials. The painstaking process then begins as Keith tracks down all the historic fonts and uses these to recreate the spines himself, building up the artwork spine by spine. So this is not a photograph, and neither is it assembled from actual sleeves cut up in some way – it is a completely new artwork designed and created by Keith. Limited edition of 40 archival pigment prints with silkscreen varnish, image size 44x100 cm / 17x39 inches, paper size 64 x 120cm / 25 x 47 inches. Signed and numbered by Keith Haynes in the border under the image area. Price is shown for an unframed print. If you would like us to organise framing, just let us know and we will give you a quote for frame/delivery.

Frank Stefanko recalls the shoot in Haddonfield, NJ during the winter of 1978: "...he arrived in a slick ’60 Corvette. I think that car was his pride and joy. It was loaded, it was sleek, it ruled Route 9 and the New Jersey Turnpike. I imagined what it would be like to be Bruce, cruising in that Vette up the Pike under that giant Exxon sign in the wee, wee hours, thinking up song ideas while listening to his favorite tunes in that bad-ass Corvette.” Please note that this beautiful photograph is now right down to the wire for the limited edition 30x40 inch paper size option. We now have just one left in inventory - artists proof 4/4 - the very last one in the 30x40 size. It is framed and ready to deliver, and looks incredible in this large size.
