“Till there was Rock”
The current issue of NME celebrates the reissue of Mick Rock’s 256-page Exposed paperback book in the shape of three posters, including the iconic double-page shot of Ziggy and Ronno ’enjoying’ British Rail nosh on their way to Scotland for shows in 1973.
The original hardback (bottom left in montage) featured Bowie on the cover, but the new paperback (published by Palazzo, September 25), sports a 1973 shot of DB on Kate Moss’s chest, not to mention a foreword by Tom Stoppard and an afterword by Andrew Loog Oldham.
The attendant exhibition at SUMO in NY, opens to the public on September 23. Full details here.
We’ll leave you with a link to a recent Mick Rock interview courtesy of Hit-Channel.com, wherein he discusses the work featured in Exposed.
In the interview, Mick also teases news of an upcoming co-signed (with Bowie) limited edition Ziggy Stardust book for Taschen due next year.
At the moment, the book is planned to feature a ton of previously unseen Bowie photographs from the 72/73 era and it will be released as one of those beautiful Collector's Edition books with a stand that Taschen do so well.
