career from 1976 to 1984, completely embedding himself in the early punk-rock scene in London.<\/p>\n<p>  He began as the bands were starting up, and by the time the punk-rock scene exploded, he had a real in. He lived with some of the musicians and was friends with some people who became musicians.<\/p>\n<p>  But back then you needed money and more than a card reader to see your shots, so a lot of Rosen&#8217;s film never got processed. It got boxed up and stored at mum and dad&#8217;s. That includes all the photos he finally uncovered and developed last year, and sat on until now.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/punkphotos\/74943421\/\" title=\"Andy Rosen: Dave Gahan, Depeche Mode\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/39\/74943421_0fec6917fe_m.jpg\" width=\"176\" height=\"240\" align=\"left\" alt=\"Dave Gahan, Depeche Mode\" \/><\/a>The collection he&#8217;s put up so far (and, apparently, he&#8217;s just getting started), is amazing. <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtist%253FartistId%253D645533%2526s%253D143441%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"iTMS: Simple Minds\">Simple Minds<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtist%253FartistId%253D148377%2526s%253D143441%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"iTMS: Depeche Mode\">Depeche Mode<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtist%253FartistId%253D93888%2526s%253D143441%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"iTMS: Bauhaus\">Bauhaus<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtist%253FartistId%253D92623%2526s%253D143441%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"iTMS: Siouxie and the Banshees\">Siouxie Sioux<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtist%253FartistId%253D3184277%2526s%253D143441%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"iTMS: The Sex Pistols\">The Sex Pistols<\/a>&#8230;<em>tons<\/em> of shots that have never been published before.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, he&#8217;s set up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andyrosenphotos.com\/punks\/\" title=\"Andy Rosen: Punks\">a weblog<\/a> where he&#8217;s recounting some of the stories behind the photos &#8212; the photo shoots themselves, his relationships to the subjects, how he was able to get the shots he did.

Funny thing was I shot about 10 rolls of black and white and decided not to develop them. Money was tight in those days &#8211; so I would sometimes just not bother processing the film if I felt the band was not worthy of the expense. Looking back on it what an idiot I was. Years (two decades) later I stumbled on a whole bag of unprocesed film I had left In london at my mum and dads. There they were clearly labaled THE CLASH. I excitedly processed them and to my amazment I relaized I had captured a precious moment in Rock And Roll history &#8211; which might never have been seen.  A band in all their innocent glory &#8211; playing to fifty people &#8211; moments before they were to etch themselves into punk history as one of the most prolific Punk Bands ever.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is great, great stuff.
