The photobook daddy of them
all, seemingly longer than forever in the making, Shot In The Dark by my esteemed amigo David Arnoff and hits the streets courtesy of
the good offices that are Sympathetic Press, the publishing wing of Sympathy For The Record Industry. The UK launch will take place this coming Sunday – 17th January – at The Islington (E13) down in "The London".
Tis a door-stop and a half containing images of many your
heroes and a few chancers. If you feel the need to browse then you might miss your chance
to grab a copy so I would suggest just ordering a copy now. Not sure what
the situation is with actual distribution and I wouldn’t want anyone to be
repenting in leisure or any other such condition.
Take a look at David’s website should you be unfamiliar with
his oeuvre. And, just in case just happened by here by accident, Mr Arnoff is
the geezer that shot the covers of The Cramps “Songs The Lord Taught Us”, The
Fleshtones “Roman Gods” and Stiv’s “Disconnected”.
The sumptuous monochrome is a beautiful thing so if you don’t make it your mission to get one
then you will almost certainly regret it in not so later life.
