Bring Me The Head of Herr Kerr
Jim Kerr, circa 1980 – a similar picture (most likely from the same set/gig/photographer) was used for the Early Gold CD released in 2003.
The Cherub of 1984
I love the way the scan completely lined this photo. Makes it even MORE arty. Jim Kerr – you are adorable! He looks positively CHERUBIC in this photo! I could fucking EAT HIM! Lol.
The Marquee Teen
Jim Kerr performing on stage at the Marquee montage, 3rd July 1979. Entry price was £1.00!! Jim was still only 19 years old here! He’ll be 20 six days later 🙂 Added info sourced from Dream Giver Redux
Brooding Bunch
The young bhoys. At top from left to right: Brian McGee, Derek Forbes, Mick MacNeil. Bottom, left to right: Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill. Ooh, they are so serious! Jim is brooding and smouldering!! Charlie looks a bit pissed off and sad – which is ssooo odd for Charlie!
Street Fighting Years Tour Program Photos 1989
Photos of Simple Minds from the Street Fighting Years tour program. The scanning went a bit weird with this…but there you go :-/
Topless and Turbaned
It’s those naughty, cheeky, bare-chested posers again! Lol. Simple Minds – from left to right: Jim Kerr, Mick MacNeil, Charlie Burchill, Derek Forbes.
Absolutely Definitely Would (All Night Long)
In make-up with glasses on – Jim Kerr is beautiful in all the ways he presents himself (well, maybe not in some of mid 80s outfits he wore – that’s a stretch! Lol). I love him! Another picture from the NGD tour program.
A Single Kerr
Those eyes…oh, those eyes… Another shot from the New Gold Dream tour program – also to be seen on the NGD album cover.
The Perfect Kerr – NGD Tour Program 1982
Still one of the most beautiful photos of Jim Kerr, ever. Oh, just…his hair…his eyes…his pensive look…the way he has his chin in his hand…the undone tie around his neck…the light in his eyes…it’s all just perfect!
