RIP David Johansen...

1973 image respectfully reproduced from "New York Dolls" (Mercury Records) LP cover- in the hope that it is covered by the Australian Copyright Act 1968, under the fair dealing provisions relating to criticism, parody and satire. I think the Australian US Free Trade Deal still covers this copyright provision too, at the time of this post's publication

1986 image respectfully reproduced from an image originally photographed by some friend of Rowena Ivers. Colin might remember his name.
