LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND TUCKED INSIDE AN OLD FANZINE!!!
CRASS
ORIGINAL "FEEDING OF THE 5,000" FRONT COVER PHOTO SESSION PHOTOGRAPH.
FEATURES PENNY STANDING BY THE RAILWAY BRIDGE NEAR DIAL HOUSE, HOLDING THE LARGE CRASS LOGO BANNER, AS USED ON THE FEEDING COVER SHOT, PLUS THE OLD FARM LABOURER WHO LIVED NEAR BY IN THE FORE-GROUND (think his name was 'Old Bill' or similar, and I recall he gets a few mentions in Penny's Shibboleth autobiography, though as I don't have a copy to hand unfortunately i cannot check - feel free to email me if i've got it wrong!!)
This photo was given to me by Crass to illustrate a feature/interview I did with the band in the fanzine I was doing in the early 1980s.
Condition is absolutely stunningly good, the photo was inside a plastic school folder, and has been tucked away for over the past half century until I found it last night when going through a load of old 'zines. There is some very, very slight discolouration which I would imagine is a simple chemical reaction and happens to all old photographic prints. And a scratch towards the left hand side, plus two very slight 'blue tack' marks on the back where I must have stuck it on my wall at some point. The photo looks like it has been copied from the original photograph onto cheap photographic paper and cut by hand. Corners are fine and not dog-eared atall. As it seems not the best exposed of photos perhaps it was a reject. I really don't know. All i do know is that it is an amazing find, in A1 mint condition and would look amazing framed. I have NEVER seen this photo published elsewhere! An incredible piece of Crass memorabilia!
DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS RARE CHANCE TO BE THE PROUD OWNER.
(NB: obviously original photo doesn't have the Postit giving its' dimensions on it!!)
(and for anyone who doesn't know me i was in a certain anarcho-punk band who played lots of gigs with crass in the early 80s, and as anyone who has bought any of the items from my personal anarcho-punk collection from the 1980s will know, all my auctions are 100% genuine original and often one-off items)
POSTAGE = £1.66 UK // £2.84 OVERSEAS.
Postage charges include recorded delivery. Photo will be very securely sent in special card mailer to ensure it doesn't get damaged in the post.
