"Terry was everywhere in the '60s - he knew everything and everyone
that was happening" - Keith Richards Terry O'Neill (1938-2019) was
one of the world's most celebrated and collected photographers. No
one captured the front line of fame so broadly - and for so long.
Terry O'Neill's Rock 'n' Roll Album contains some of the most
famous and powerful music photographs of all time. At the same
time, the book includes many intimate personal photos taken 'behind
the scenes' and at private functions. Terry O'Neill photographed
the giants of the music world - both on and off-stage. For more
than fifty years he captured those on the front line of fame in
public and in private. David Bowie, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Amy
Winehouse, Dean Martin, The Who, Janis Joplin, AC/DC, Eric Clapton,
Sammy Davis Jnr., The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Chuck
Berry and The Beatles - to name only a few. O'Neill spent more than
30 years photographing Frank Sinatra as his personal photographer,
with unprecedented access to the star. He took some of the earliest
known photographs of The Beatles, and then forged a lifetime
relationship with members of the band that allowed him to
photograph their weddings and other private moments. It is this
contrast between public and private that makes Terry O'Neill's Rock
'n' Roll Album such a powerful document. Without a doubt, Terry
O'Neill's work comprises a vital chronicle of rock 'n' roll
history. To any fan of music or photography, this book will be a
must-buy. "Trusted by the stars to make them look good, O'Neill has
captured the icons of music for over half a century... Terry
O'Neill's Rock 'N' Roll Album, collects a wealth of private moments
and memories captured for eternity, with the likes of David Bowie,
Bryan Ferry, Dolly Parton, Diana Ross, Bruce Springsteen, Led
Zeppelin, Amy Winehouse and even Elvis Presley all the subject of
O'Neill's immaculately placed lens. A life in pictures, a legacy in
print. Pay heed to history!" - Simon Harper, Clash Magazine
A new edition of the bestselling Every Picture Tells a Story from
one of the greatest photographers of the last 60 years, Terry
O'Neill. This updated edition includes 32 additional pages of new
stories behind some of the O'Neill's most iconic images. From the
morning he spent with Faye Dunaway at the pool in Beverly Hills, to
walking around Vegas with Sean Connery dressed as James Bond, a
chance encounter with Bruce Springsteen on the Sunset Strip, to
taking Jean Shrimpton to a doll hospital - these are the stories
behind the images as only Terry O'Neill can reveal. "I was walking
up the Miami Beach boardwalk to the Fontainebleau Hotel where
Sinatra was staying... I just reached out with the letter in my
hand and he took it. He opened it, read it... turned to his
security men and said, "this kid's with me." I never found out what
Ava said to him in that letter. From that moment on, I was part of
his inner circle." - Terry O'Neill From The Beatles to the Rolling
Stones, Terry O'Neill fast became the photographer of the 1960s.
Having an eye - and ear - for music and musicians, he instinctively
knew what bands to focus on. And they in turn trusted him. "I
remember sitting in a pub with the Beatles and the Stones. We were
just hanging-out and talking about what we'd do next, after all of
this was over. By this, we meant the fame, being the 'new kids of
the moment'. Usually, this sort of celebrity doesn't last. Little
did we know that 60 years later, we'd still be at it." Music led
O'Neill to Hollywood and working with stars resulted not only in to
memorable moments but long-lasting friendships. He travelled with
Frank Sinatra. Took Raquel Welch to the beach. Went in the ring
with Ali. Put The Who in a cage. O'Neill captured many of the most
unforgettable faces from the frontline of fame, and his photographs
exude his own brand of serene simplicity, intimate behind-the-scene
moments and the rare quality of trust between photographer and
subject. The list of people Terry O'Neill has worked with over the
past 60 years is a Who's Who in celebrity; from film to music,
sports to politics. Terry O'Neill: Every Picture Tells a Story is
like going through a walking tour of memory by a man who has seen,
met and photographed them all.
The ultimate record of the work of a world-class photographer.
Capturing the iconic, candid, and unguarded moments of the famous
and the notorious. "Terry was everywhere in the 60s - he knew
everything and everyone that was happening" Keith Richards "Terry
O'Neill rates rightly as one of the best photographers in the
world. He captures something special" Sir Michael Caine "When it
comes to photographic legends there can be few more prolific or
revered than Terry O'Neill, the man who shot the greats." VOGUE
"This sumptuous collection of portraits, taken over six decades,
represents the best of his memorable career and should grace every
coffee table in the land" The Daily Mail "I've been repeatedly
asked to write my autobiography - I have seen an awful lot of
famous people at their best and worst - but I'm not interested in
making money trading their secrets or mine. I want my pictures to
tell a story not sell a story." Terry O'Neill Terry O'Neill is one
of the world's most celebrated and collected photographers. No one
has captured the frontline of fame so broadly - and for so long.
For more than 50 years, he has photographed rock stars and
presidents, royals and movie stars, at work, at play, in private.
He pioneered backstage reportage photography with the likes of
Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, Sir Elton John and Chuck Berry and his
work comprises a vital chronicle of rock and roll history. Now, for
the first time, an exhaustive cataloguing of his archive conducted
over the last three years has revisited more than 2 million
negatives and has unearthed unseen images that escaped the eye over
a career spanning 53 years. Similarly, his use of 35mm cameras on
film sets and the early pop music shows of the 60s opened up a new
visual art form using photojournalism, to revolutionise formal
portraiture. His work captured the iconic, candid, and unguarded
moments of the famous and the notorious - from Ava Gardner to Amy
Winehouse, from Churchill to Nelson Mandela, from the earliest
photographs of young emerging bands such as the Beatles and the
Rolling Stones to her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace. O'
Neill spent more than 30 years photographing Frank Sinatra,
amassing a unique archive of more than 3,000 Sinatra negatives. Add
to that the magazine covers, album sleeves, film poster and fashion
shoots of 1,000 stars, and Terry O'Neill - comprises the most
compelling and epic catalogue of the age of celebrity.
"Any man that loves Bond will love to get this amazing book in
their life." - Men's Journal "A great coffee table book filled with
amazing photos of everyone's favourite spy." - Tom Lorenzo, Men's
Journal "No fan of 007 will want to miss this coffee-table
album..." - Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Terry O'Neill was
given his first chance to photograph Sean Connery as James Bond in
the film Goldfinger. From that moment, O'Neill's association with
Bond was made: an enduring legacy that has carried through to the
era of Daniel Craig. It was O'Neill who captured gritty and roguish
pictures of Connery on set, and it was O'Neill who framed the
super-suave Roger Moore in Live and Let Die. His images of Honor
Blackman as Pussy Galore are also important, celebrating the vital
role of women in the James Bond world. But it is Terry O'Neill's
casual, on-set photographs of a mischievous Connery walking around
the casinos of Las Vegas or Roger Moore dancing on a bed with
co-star Madeline Smith that show the other side of the world's most
recognisable spy. Terry O'Neill opens his archive to give readers -
and viewers - the chance to enter the dazzling world of James Bond.
Lavish colour and black and white images are complemented by
insights from O'Neill, alongside a series of original essays on the
world of James Bond by BAFTA-longlisted film writer, James Clarke;
and newly conducted interviews with a number of actors featured in
O'Neill's photographs.
Terry O'Neill is one of the greatest living photographers today,
with work displayed and exhibited at first-class museums and
fine-art galleries worldwide. His iconic images of Frank Sinatra,
The Beatles, Brigitte Bardot, Faye Dunaway, and David Bowie - to
name but a few - are instantly recognisable across the globe. Now,
for the first time, O'Neill selects a range of images from his
extensive archive of "vintage prints", which will surprise and
delight collectors and photography lovers alike. Long before the
age of digital, photographers would send physical prints to the
papers and magazines. These prints were passed around, handled by
many, stamped on the back, and often times captioned. After use,
the prints were either filed away, thrown out or - for the lucky
few - sent back to the photographer or their photo agencies. At the
dawn of the 1960s, when O'Neill's career began, physical prints
were the norm. Terry kept as many as he could that were sent back
to him. "I just kept everything," he says. "I don't know why. Back
then, there wasn't really a reason to keep them. Photos were used
straight away and then I just moved on to the next assignment. No
one was thinking these would be worth anything down the line, let
alone fifty years later." This book collects hundreds of these rare
images, a true must for Terry's fans and photography collectors.

"Looking at Terry's photographs is like gazing through a window at
the most extraordinary and exciting moments of my life." ELTON JOHN
Elton John and iconic photographer Terry O'Neill worked together
for many years, taking in excess of 5,000 photographs. From
intimate backstage shots to huge stadium concerts, the photographs
in this book represent the very best of this archive, with most of
the images being shown here for the first time. O'Neill has drawn
on his personal relationship with Elton John to write the book's
introduction and captions. "I'm so glad he was with us throughout
the madness: in his evocative and stylish photos he captured those
moments as no other photographer could." ELTON JOHN
'An incredible photographer and good friend' -RINGO STARR The
definitive collection of the breathtaking Beatles photographs of
Terry O'Neill. Iconic photographer Terry O'Neill worked with the
Beatles across five decades, capturing the band at the beginning of
their rise to the top and the solo years beyond. From recording
sessions, rehearsals and larking around town at the height of
Beatlemania, to intimate shots at weddings, at home and on tour in
the solo years after the band had split, O'Neill captured countless
photographs - many of which are being published for the very first
time here. With more than 300 photographs and including quotes from
Terry collecting his personal memories of working with the band,
The Beatles by Terry O'Neill is a unique visual portrait of the
story of John, Paul, George, Ringo and the music they made.
When Ziggy played The Marquee Club in Soho, London, in October
1973, most of those invited to the small venue did not realise that
this would be the last performance David Bowie would ever give as
Ziggy Stardust. Terry O'Neill, celebrated photographer, was given
unprecedented access to document the event. O'Neill captured Bowie
and his crew backstage as they went through costume changes, and
Bowie transformed into the character he'd soon put to rest. On
stage, dodging television cameras and lights, O'Neill snapped the
incredible stage presence for which Bowie and his crew had become
renowned. O'Neill remembers of Bowie: "He became a character on
stage. As much as a person takes a role in a play for the West End
or on Broadway, learning the lines, putting on the costumes - this
was, I think, the way Bowie treated his stage. This night at the
Marquee, I witnessed a modern-day Hamlet - and it was Ziggy
Stardust". Award-winning music writer Daniel Rachel interviews key
contributors of the day, including O Neill, Ava Cherry, Amanda Lear
and Geoff MacCormack along with new insights and memories from fans
who were in the audience who played witness to this incredible
moment.
Occasionally a spark of inspiration can become the catalyst for
transition. Just such an occasion took place with the construction
of Thompson Speedway in 1940, a five-eighth-mile banked oval track,
dubbed "The Indianapolis of the East." A road course joined to the
oval in 1952 enlarged the track to form the first privately-owned
complex where sports car drivers could race safely. It transformed
the face of sports car racing in America, and hastened the demise
of the dangerous open-road events together with the majority of
flat and boring airfield race venues. These two volumes tell the
story of the ground-breaking racetrack and, as far as possible,
detail the drivers and cars that participated in the races. They
are profusely illustrated with contemporary photographs showing
well-known drivers such as Briggs Cunningham, Bill Lloyd, Bill
Spear, Lance Reventlow, Walt Hansgen, George Constantine and Denise
McCluggage in action driving Maseratis, Jaguars, Porsches, Coopers,
Ferraris and other makes that they imported from Europe and that
are now in such popular demand. Today, the Raceway has been
regenerated and runs as a successful venture under the control of
Jonathan Hoenig, great-grandson of the original owner. Volume One,
The Formative Years: 1945-1959, covers the years 1938-1960 and
describes the development of sports car racing at Thompson as early
as 1945. It explains the politics involved between land-owner, John
Hoenig, and Raceway manager George Weaver, and their unsuccessful
attempts to establish a working relationship. Their disagreements
led to the development of the Raceway's second layout by Weaver as
it separated from the Speedway Oval in 1958. Volume Two, Changing
Fortunes: 1960-1977, sees Hoenig and Thompson Raceway in Windham
County Court in 1961, the culmination of a long-standing dispute
over share holdings. SCCA policy changes in the first half of the
1960s involving the conflict between professional and amateur
status also contributed to the eventual demise of the Raceway under
Weaver's control in 1967. Subsequently, the venue was revived by
the Hoenig family, with a new track that incorporated the original
Speedway oval, but the fuel crisis, a lack of investment and a
general decline in spectator interest led to its closure again in
1977.
