Original music
industry promo photo sourced from a German music magazine archive printed between mid-1970s and 2000s. The archive
contained thousands of promotional images of various sizes and formats and
included originals and contemporary copies with the majority having wet stamps,
stickers, press release details and editorial annotations to the backs. They
had been stored for decades in suspension files and as a consequence most are
in excellent condition.
