May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I, just a few days ago, bought a bunch of clippings on eBay. Some things within I already had copies of (the whole NME December 4th, 1982 edition with Jim on the cover, taken by Anton Corbijn, for example). There are actually a number of good things…gig reviews, album and single reviews…some Belgian magazine articles,…

Oh, I HATE doing this stuff…but I like sharing shots I’ve never seen before. And I wish I had the money to pay for the use of all these. Paying for the upkeep of the blog each year is enough. I keep contemplating monitising it, but I abhor the thought. I don’t want ads all…
Oh, my! Sparkle in those photoshoots, mister 😉
I am being nostalgic for things I wasn’t even around for! Lol. But…this is still one of my favouritest things, ever, because of that big, beautiful, cheesy smile. Maybe *this* was Virginia Turbett’s best work? Oh, she took some doozies of him :-))) Wonder what happened to her?

Another pic from the past I had never seen before. I’d say given by the look of him it was taken circa 1982. Beauty personified. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Simple Minds Latin America (@simpleminds.ar)
Not sure who the photographer is. Went to check my copy of Classic Pop (Dec/Jan 17 issue) as it seemed the work of the same photographer whose main image was used in that as well…but they get no credit. They should get a name check, whoever they are. This photo is lovely. I had to…
This seems to have come from a site called 41rooms.com – I went there to try to get the photographers credit, and provide a proper link, etc…but I can’t source where the photo is once I get there! A shame, cos I feel bad for just nicking it…but I *had* to share it! Given the…
