PHOTOGRAPH

Two-page scrapbook spread combining colour and black-and-white portrait and performance photographs, including several guitar and stage images.

The left page contains the handwritten note:

“Truck OffMarc at Newcastle on 21.1.74. He also had the same gear on at Sheffield”

A newspaper cutting beneath the photographs carries the headline:

“Pop idol Bolan storms off City Hall stage after fan’s attack”

The clipping describes an incident at Sheffield City Hall, making this spread particularly useful because the original scrapbook compiler has preserved both photographs and contemporary written material relating to the 1974 appearances.
