Jimmy Page Guitars

by Julie on May 17, 2012

Jimmy Page’s “heavy artillery,” Led Zeppelin, Day On The Green, Oakland Coliseum, CA, 1977

“I myself didn’t realize that this line-up of guitars belonged to the illustrious guitarist Jimmy Page. Embarrassingly, I didn’t even know that much about Led Zeppelin when I photographed them. I simply liked that they were a hugely photogenic band; to me that counted for a lot.” Baron Wolman, The Rolling Stone Years.

This brilliant color photograph of Jimmy Page’s guitars on-stage in 1977 is newly available, strictly limited in an edition of 50 prints. Each 16″ x 20″ fine art photographic print is individually numbered and has been hand-signed by both Jimmy Page and Baron Wolman!

Head over to Jimmypage.com for more details on owning one of these limited edition, highly collectible photographs.

Country Joe McDonald Prints

by Baron on April 17, 2012

Scanned, original print showing signatures (click to enlarge)

A few weeks ago I obtained these amazing photographs from Country Joe McDonald. The first was taken at the legendary Monterey Pop Festival in June of 1967, the second at the equally legendary Woodstock Music and Art Festival in August of 1969. As you can see, both photos were signed by Country Joe and my friend Super Star photographer, Jim Marshall. Not only that, both men signed both the print as well as the matt board. Very rare and hugely collectable. I’ve got a couple of each; if anybody is interested in adding one to his/her collection, shoot me an email and we’ll start a conversation.

The Allman Brothers Are Born

by Julie on March 28, 2012

Allman_Brothers

L to R: Berry Oakley, Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks, Jaimoe Johanson, Gregg Allman, Phil Walden

Baron recently received a phone call from a picture editor asking about his 1969 panoramic photograph of the Allman Brothers in a Macon, Georgia, recording studio. In March of that year while on assignment for Rolling Stone, Baron had indeed photographed the band during its first week of rehearsals together as the six piece group that manager/promoter Phil Walden helped launch. But Baron didn’t even have a panoramic camera at the time. It turned out that Phil Walden had created his own ‘panoramic’ by framing together the two prints Baron had given him. In March 2012, more than forty years later, this rendition of the Allman Brothers panoramic photo was created, a very limited edition, historically significant, print which you now have the opportunity to own.

Editions are available as follows:
24×16 inches, edition of 75
44×24 inches, edition of 15
