Ray Lowry (British, 1944-2008): Original concept artwork for the album London Calling By The Clash,1979,ink, watercolour and pencil, comprising: a sketch of what was to become the iconic front cover; two further similar sketches; and two double-sided sheets of back cover design sketches with text, four sheets in clip-frames; together with a watercolour study by Lowry of Joe Strummer onstage with a microphone, mounted and framed, 8in x 10in (20cm x 25.5cm) each, one slightly larger, (5)Footnotes:Provenance:Offered for sale by Samuel Lowry, the artist's son.This, the third studio album by The Clash, was originally released in the UK in December 1979. The album reflected the band's interests, going beyond their punk roots and taking in musical influences such as reggae, rockabilly and ska. London Calling has been included at No.8 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of 'The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time'.Artist Ray Lowry became friendly with The Clash after they had played in Manchester and this led to him accompanying them on their US tour in 1979 as a 'war artist'. Also documenting the tour was photographer Pennie Smith, who took the photograph of Paul Simonon smashing his bass guitar on stage at the Palladium, New York, an image voted by Q magazine in 2002 as 'the best rock and roll photograph of all time'. Ray Lowry is reported to have said that The Clash were as important as Elvis had been, hence his homage to the cover of Elvis' first album, its black and white image juxtaposed with the vivid green and pink lettering.In an article in Amateur Photographer, February 2021, Justin Williams, former keeper of the Ray Lowry archive explained why Ray chose Pennie's photograph for the cover: 'What Ray recognised within the photograph was Elvis with the open mouth, the closeness of the picture, the black and white...he felt that image captured everything that rock and roll was about. It was a moment, and what Ray saw in Pennie Smith's photo was the same moment.' Conversely, Pennie herself thought that it was of too poor a quality to be used, but Ray's choice has since been proved to have been perfect. In 2010 the UK's Royal Mail issued a set of ten stamps commemorating Classic Album Covers. Alongside albums by the likes of the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and David Bowie was London Calling.The front cover sketch included here was amongst items shown in the Museum Of London's 2020 exhibition, 'The Clash: London Calling'.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Iain MacMillan (British, 1938-2006): Two prints of The Beatles on Abbey Road,1969,two original vintage chromogenic prints, the first depicting the Beatles walking from left to right (frame no.5) as seen on the album cover, signed and numbered 7/25 by Iain Macmillan in silver metallic pen, together with a second print depicting the Abbey Road street sign with the girl in the blue dress as seen on the back of the album, signed and numbered 8/25 by Macmillan in silver metallic pen, both 20in x 24in (51cm x 61cm), (2)Footnotes:Provenance:Property from the Iain Macmillan Collection.Having met John Lennon at the Indica Gallery with Yoko Ono in 1966, Lennon later invited Macmillan to photograph the Beatles for the cover of their final album 'Abbey Road'. Given the Beatles recorded most of their music at the EMI Studios on Abbey Road, St John's Wood, London, they decided to name their last album after the road. Armed with a sketch Paul McCartney had given him a couple of days before of what the picture should look like, Iain knew he didn't have long to get the right shot for the world's most famous band.On 8th August 1969, at around 11:30 am, a hired policeman stopped the traffic, Iain climbed up a large stepladder in the middle of Abbey Road and took just six pictures of the Beatles crossing the street. In approx 10 minutes Iain shot the band in various orders, but it was frame no.5 that was used for the cover of the album - the only photo where all four of them are striding in perfect formation.'The whole idea was McCartney's. A few days before the shoot, he drew a sketch of how he imagined the cover, which we executed almost exactly that day. I took a couple of shots of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road one way. We let some of the traffic go by and then they walked across the road the other way, and I took a few more shots. The one eventually chosen for the cover was number five of six. It was the only one that had their legs in a perfect 'V' formation, which is what I wanted stylistically.' - Iain Macmillan.After the shoot, Macmillan went to find a road sign for use on the back cover. Over 50 years on, and the cover for 'Abbey Road' by the Beatles is still undoubtedly one of the most iconic album covers of all time.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
