I took the photo on the left of Arthur Brown in a brilliant live performance in Hull a year or so ago. I liked it. I told Arthur after the show that his act might have more impact if he made the effort to dress up a bit and use a little make-up.
The image seemed to have a sadness and yearning. That was strange because Arthur’s act was all lively brilliance. His voice is better than ever, he prances around like a youngster and the band is superb.
I chose the photo because it fitted in with the ethos of the rest of my books. I used the blue of the title strip as an augmentation.
I thought the effect worked. What do you think?
