About the Item
Signed limited edition print of The Cramps featuring Lux Interior and Poison Ivy, taken by Simon Fowler in the UK in 1979.
Simon recalls - "Shot this at LFI’s Studio. I say Studio, that’s being generous, I was not, it was a room 8ft high ceiling, plastic tiled floor and about 14ft square. Just about enough room for a back drop to hang from. There was a little make up area with a mirror normally for any female artist or anybody doing their hair boy or girl!
When the band came in they were quite subdued. Not many words were spoken just nods mostly. It felt a bit weird. I was only given about a couple of hours with them. Set the first shot up and in they step. Well, they then came alive. They were great to work with. They became more chatty and animated as the minuets ticked by. They all went out very happy bunnies. They used one of the images for Fever single cover which I was well chuffed about!"

Simon Fowler
Whether through commissioned recording sleeves or official photo sessions, concert and theatre posters, or innumerable magazine covers and national print media featuring Simon Fowler work, he boasts an incredible portfolio. As principal photographer for British pop magazine Smash Hits at the height of its reign as the standard bearer for all things fashionably pop in the UK throughout the eighties, his signature work represents bespoke visual signposts for some of the biggest selling and most popular recording artists on the planet. Even more remarkable is the vast gamut of British and European cultural genres his photography embraces. As eighties British music rewrote the manual for infectious pop in all its sublime manifestations, Simon Fowlers lens and imagination experienced a similarly creative joie de vivre. Among so many stand out relationships including shooting the cover for the Christmas 1981 number one (The Human League’s landmark ‘Don’t You Want Me’), was forming a unique long-term relationship with one of rock’s most challenging behemoths… Queen and its charismatic but notoriously guarded singer Freddie Mercury. A high point was being roped in to shoot the band on the fly in and around Queen filming ground-breaking ‘Coronation Street’ housewife video spoof for ‘I Want to Break Free’.
