TALKING HEADS Original 1977 B&W 8x10 Band Photograph by Scott Weiner DAVID BYRNE

Description

This is a rare original, vintage black & white photo of the young Talking Heads by Scott Weiner. The image area is 6 3/4" x 9 7/16" on 8" x 10" photo paper.
The print is not signed by the photographer, but has his studio sticker on the back. The rooftop location is not noted, but this well-known celebrity photographer is based in Philadelphia. This print was likely made for reproduction in a magazine or newspaper, and is stamped 'Published on Nov 14 1977'. Please zoom the scans for a closer look.
This print would look great matted and framed, but there are a couple of condition issues. The main flaw is that the band members' names were written on the back (stupidly) using a ballpoint pen. This made very light impressions of some of the writing on the front side. It's hard to see because much of it occurs on Jerry Harrison's dark jacket, and it's light enough so that it doesn't show in my scans. There is also some tape residue and a crack, but these are outside the image area and would not show if the photo was matted. The rear shows discoloration from age. I've priced this rare print low to account for the condition issues. Finally, this sale is for the print only and does not include any transfer of copyright or reproduction permissions. Boxed, economy shipping to the lower 48 states will be .00.
