1971: Pete Townshend and his dog Towser, Pete’s garden, opposite Eel Pie Island, Twickhenham by the River Thames “Pete Townshend was sending in many letters to the Melody Maker about this and that, so [editor] Ray Coleman had the bright idea to ask him if he’d like to have a page for himself to write about anything he wished. Pete asked me to photograph the accompanying images to illustrate his pieces. Some of these were quite abstract, but his stories were always entertaining. On this day I arrived at his home to find him dressed up in a ‘Pearly King’ outfit with a banjo, setting up a collection of his daughter’s toys in his garden. His faithful spaniel Towser was recruited and posed perfectly during the shoot!” From the British magazine Melody Maker. Photo credit: Barrie Wentzell. Courtesy of Morrison Hotel Gallery

1970: Jimmy Page, at his home in Pangbourne, Berkshire, England “Jimmy had bought a boathouse down by the Thames in rural Berkshire. Chris Welch and I went down one afternoon to visit and do a Melody Maker interview with the former session guitarist, [who was] now heading a unit called Led Zeppelin, born out of the ashes of his former group The Yardbirds. He escorted us on a tour of his abode full of Art Deco paintings, odd antiques, and many ancient esoteric books, including Aleister Crowley. There was a basement, which had a couple of boats bobbing up and down in the Thames below. This photo is in the upper living room overlooking the mighty Thames with Jimmy and his telescope. Stars looking at stars!” From the British magazine Melody Maker. Photo credit: Barrie Wentzell. Courtesy of Morrison Hotel Gallery
