Nine’s Lego Masters: Grand Masters pulled in a total of 486,000 metro views and Seven’s Home and Away pulled in 472,000 views. “I’m happy to say it went straight to number 1 in the album charts, but it remains the only album cover I ever shot.It was a win for Seven last night as The Chase took the crown for most-watched entertainment show with 513,000 metro views. Paul and Mick dressed most of the set, but we were all involved, and I shot it on a Mamiya RB6x7 on a 90mm lens.” The set was built by my assistant, and great friend, Ross Kerridge with Peter Chatterton. Fran Crawley was the stylist and she supplied the counter, book-rack etc. “Most of the stuff in the shop belonged to Paul and Mick, but the snooker cue and George Best coat hanger are mine. The other themes were Dallas, Arena and The Tube.” These were pictures of rooms based on a TV programme so we’d have Jewel In The Crown on the TV and all the props and food would be Indian. I was offered the job because Simon Halfon, the designer, had seen some photos I’d shot for the Observer Magazine Living Extra. I mostly shot magazine editorial in those days. “We shot the cover of Our Favourite Shop on a Sunday afternoon in London in April or May 1985, at Bow Street Studios in Covent Garden.

Gallery visitors will be able to see the original, which measures a whopping 100 x 100cm / 40 x 40 inches, and is made on ultra high gloss coated aluminium.
CROWN SNAP ART MOD
Taking inspiration from the tracks on All Mod Cons, Jamie has created this beautiful piece in his very popular graphic novel style, with each panel representing a song on the album. We have been working with artist Jamie Byrne for a while now, and I am delighted that Jamie has created a new artwork for the exhibition. I still can’t quite believe that this record, which I first heard as a fifteen-year-old, is one that I go back to quite so often. I have been listening to this album for almost forty years. I can’t stress enough how important All Mod Cons is for fans of The Jam. “…it’s not only several light years ahead of anything they’ve done before but also the album that’s going to catapult The Jam right into the front rank of international rock and roll one of the handful of truly essential rock albums of the last few years.” NME review, 1978, by Charles Shaar Murray we didn’t have permission!”Īll Mod Cons by The Jam is the subject of Jamie Byrne’s latest graphic novel album commission. We waited to late evening before our raid on the station as this was going to be a quick shoot i.e. Select a style from one of Snap Art’s many presets such as oil painting, pencil sketch, crayon and watercolor, and Snap Art will take care of everything for you. “We chose Bond Street tube station on the Central line, I think because Bill Smith knew the station well from his daily commute. Martyn also has fond memories of shooting the ‘Down in the Tube Station at Midnight’ single cover on location in 1978. I can’t remember whether it was budget or time constraints but Bill (Smith- the art director at Polydor Records) and I tiled the flats the morning of the session, 2nd March 1977, and it was Bill who took the black spray paint and in one attempt produced the iconic logo on the white ceramic tiles as the glue was setting.”
“It was decided to shoot in my studio in Kensington Church Street using a couple of 8′ X 4′ flats tiled in 4 inch white Crystal tiles. Here Martyn recalls shooting the In The City cover session. Martyn Goddard made a number of album cover and single sleeve photographs for The Jam.Īfter a period assisting acclaimed photographer Gered Mankowitz, Martyn Goddard became a regular face on the new wave music scene of the seventies and early eighties.
