ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD PHIL KING THE ROLLING STONES. PHOTO © BERNARD WATERS I had to do some picture researching a few years ago for a pitch by a film production company to a very well known film director on a proposed television series based on the British music industry from the early ’60s onwards. The pitch was for about 15 minutes so the images had to have a lot of potency. This was one of the photos I chose and summed up for me the machinations of the industry perfectly, especially in its infancy. Who is that sinister suited and booted older gentleman in shades (touch of the Joe Meek’s?) lurking in the wings as the young singer laps up the adoration stage front?
