Scan of my ticket for the: Echo & the Bunnymen’s concert in Paris in November 1987. I don’t have a very precise reminder of this concert (well it was 24 years ago) just that it was a magical one taking place in a famous old & huge cinema in Paris. There was something magnetic when this band was on stage (I saw them twice+once McCulloch in solo). Ian’s big charisma, charm and great voice, Will Sergeant’s talent and shyness at the same time. Echo was not my favourite band, but some of their songs are just magical, so 80’s, not really New Wave, not Pop and not so much Rock, just Echo & the Bunnymen, still a big influence for actual bands.

Johnny Marr photographed by Paul Slattery backstage at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, Valentine’s Day, 1984.
For me this picture is like a Pop music icon, showing Johnny Marr, guitar hero and ex Smiths one of the very best Pop band ever (my favorite one) …that’s why I spent some times to retouch, tune, reframe and change the toning on it (click on the photo above to see the original one)

Rare photo of Morrissey at the time of The Smiths. I saw it only once in the lowest part (in very small size) of an article about the discography of the band.
