Pennie Smith (born in London) is an English photographer, renowned for having photographed several famous rock musicians. She specialises in black and white photography.
Smith attended Twickenham Art school in the late 1960s, studying graphics and fine art. With others, she collaborated with graphic designer, Barney Bubbles and music journalist, Nick Kent in producing Friends magazine from 1969 to 1972. In 1970 she designed the sleeve for the Pink Fairies debut release Never Never Land. Her first major photographic commission was to cover a 1970s Led Zeppelin tour. Smith went on to work at the NME as staff photographer until the early 1980s.
In her career, Smith has photographed some of rock music's icons and legends, including: Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Iggy Pop, The Clash, The Jam, The Slits, Siouxsie Sioux, Debbie Harry, U2, Morrissey, The Stone Roses, Primal Scream, Manic Street Preachers, Radiohead, Blur, Oasis and The Strokes.
In addition to her portrait work, some of rock's defining moments have been captured by her whilst covering tours with musicians. Perhaps her most famous photograph is that of The Clash's Paul Simonon smashing his bass guitar on the stage in New York during a 1979 tour.The photograph went on to be used on the cover of the Clash album, London Calling, designed by Ray Lowry, and received Q magazine’s "Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Photograph of All-Time" award in 2002.
Smith's work has appeared on the covers and pages of the NME, on album sleeves, promotional material and has featured in books. In 1980 her best selling book, The Clash, Before and After, was published.
Smith currently lives and works in a disused railway station in West London, which she bought and converted into a studio whilst she was a student, and freelances in black and white reportage photography.
In late 2009 multiple images by Smith were included in the Who Shot Rock & Roll exhibit of rock photography at the Brooklyn Museum.
In Jan 2010 Smith's London Calling image was issued on a postage stamp by the Royal Mail.
EXCELLENT 100 % FEEDBACK BID WITH CONFIDENCE
DUE TO THE RECENT AMOUNT OF NON PAYING BIDDERS !!!! EBAY MEMBERS WITH LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACKS MUST EMAIL ME PRIOR TO BIDDING OTHERWISE ALL BIDS WILL BE CANCELLED !!
Whilst I endeavour to dispatch items as quickly as possible after payment has been received and/or cleared, please allow 14 days for delivery in the UK, 21 days overseas, before reporting alleged non-delivery; you will almost always receive your items much quicker than this (I post out at least once a week, usually on a Friday) but delays can be encountered within the postal system after dispatch. Please note that items for which payment has been received after 12 midnight on the Wednesday are unlikely to be included in that same week's dispatch.
RETURNS POLICY
I offer a no-quibble full refund policy. Returns are accepted for full money back refund, including postal costs, in respect of any item returned in its original condition within 10 days after it has been delivered. Return postage costs will be paid for by the buyer unless there has been a significant error in the description and/or condition grading on my part, in which case I will also refund reasonable return postage costs. I will not charge a re-stocking fee.
Condition Grading of Vinyl Records
the condition-grading of records is visually because, due to the high volume of items handled, it is impossible for me to test-play every record. All records are subject to detailed visual scrutiny after professional cleaning. Please see my Returns Policy for details of my no-quibble money-back guarantee which is applicable in the rare event of dissatisfaction, for whatever reason.
I use the basics of Record Collector's Rare Record Prices Guide grading as the the system employed in the condition-grading of vinyl records offered for auction
