Ramones By Roberta Bayley
What started off as a casual shoot for the cult New York-based magazine, Punk, ended up as what many would describe as one of the most iconic record covers ever – an in-your-face image that dripped with attitude and rebellion. Photographer Roberta Bayley had been asked to shoot the band the Ramones for Punk magazine but her images only came into consideration for the record cover a few months later…
Bayley explains, ‘It was absolutely not shot for the album cover. When that picture was taken the proposed album cover had already been taken by a professional photographer… no one liked thein the UK.’
