Archival silver gelatin photograph made by hand in the darkroom from the original negative on 16 x 20 inch (40x50cm) paper, signed by Pennie Smith on the front under the image. Price is shown for an unframed photograph excluding VAT. The classic London Calling album cover photograph. It is one of the most famous photographs in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. It is not cheap, but sometimes the good stuff has to hurt a little. The photograph shows Paul Simonon about to smash up his bass during a show at The Palladium, New York City on 21 September 1979. It is an acclaimed shot, receiving the ultimate accolade from Q Magazine by being voted the best rock and roll photograph of all time. Pennie had accompanied The Clash throughout their 1979 US tour, and very nearly didn’t attend this particular concert. In the end she chose to turn down the offer to go out with friends and ended up stage right at The Palladium. The band were used to getting a big response from their US audiences, but not on this night – The Palladium had fixed seating. Paul’s frustration turned to anger, and then he lost it completely. His watch stopped at 9.50pm.

The cufflinks given to him by Joan Baez, strategically placed LP's by The Impressions, Robert Johnston, Lord Buckley and others, his own fourth album, 'Another Side of Bob Dylan' pushed away in the background, the beautiful and enigmatic Sally Grossman in the red dress, cigarette held defiantly, Dylan in the foreground on a chaise longue with a Persian cat on his knee : they all come together with a number of other carefully selected and composed objects, set within Daniel Kramer's swirling photograph - created using a specially constructed and technically innovative rig which enabled him to keep Dylan in focus while blurring the edges of the room -deserving of its' Grammy nomination. Dylan at the centre with everything revolving around him, daring you to step inside his new world, echoes of renaissance portraiture, unsurprisingly voted by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the top 100 LP cover photographs of all time. This is rightly one of Daniel Kramer's proudest moments. Limited edition in a choice of sizes. Contact us for information.
