£1,800.00Add to basketA signed, two-volume, limited edition box set, ‘Hamburg Days’ presents The Beatles as seen through the photographs of Astrid Kirchherr and the art of Klaus Voormann – with a Foreword by George Harrison. Hamburg Days is Voormann and Kirchherr memoir of the days they spent with The Beatles, 1960-63. Few can say they were the first to hear The Beatles play live in the basement of the Kaiserkeller. In Hamburg’s nightclubs small audiences rocked to The Beatles’ raw sound long before it blazed a trail across the world. An array of newly-commissioned artworks and recollections – over 80,000 words and more than 250 photographs, watercolours, drawings and paintings – bring to life the years when Kirchherr, Voormann and the young Liverpool lads first met in Germany. When not in the clubs, they would eat together in favourite haunts, engage in conversation, roam the streets through the early hours, and travel together, to the North Sea and later, Tenerife. In his Foreword George Harrison tells what made these formative years so special: a time Astrid photographed, producing an archive of unsurpassed images of The Beatles seen here in its entirety.
Volume 1 contains 228 pages of Klaus and Astrid’s story alongside the complete collection of Astrid’s Hamburg photographs. Volume 2 contains 72 pages bearing reproductions of the Hamburg Days painting and associated artwork. The books are printed on 200gsm matt art paper, with trace-paper leaves and coloured wraps.

B46313 – Genesis Publications Speed of Life Collector’s Edition Book (UK)
£1,450.00Add to basketSpeed of Life was born out of a 40-year collaboration between musician, actor and producer, David Bowie, and photographer and designer, Masayoshi Sukita. In their fine bound edition, the authors opened up Sukita’s archives to assemble a 300-page photo essay which, captioned with their own recollections and memories, traces the development of Bowie’s remarkable career from 1972 to the present day. Meeting in the early seventies, by 1980 Sukita had photographed Bowie on nearly 20 separate occasions. A connection was formed such that over the ensuing decades Sukita’s camera has never been far from the focal point of Bowie’s life and work. The narrative thread of Speed of Life begins here – in London, 1972 – and continues through to the present day. Over the course of more than 300 pages Sukita and Bowie trace their forty-year story through extended captions in both English and Japanese, informing many of the greatest images the authors have created together. The book is bound by hand in a fine-grain leather onto a cloth cover. It is housed in a handmade slipcase bound in black buckram with pink, silver and turquoise foils and leather accents.
