Many moons ago, i worked for a charity that worked in Romania. On one of the many trips to Bucharest, I took my camera which I’m pretty sure at the time (1992-97) was a Leica M6 and a 50mm summicron. I was also using Ilford HP5 +. I only found these because I’ve started scanning negatives and hidden within my files were these negatives which I’d never done anything with other than process and file - so here they are for the first time. They’re a bit of history from a fairly newly liberated Romania and it’s been a joy to see them again.

Usually, I don’t buy reissues of albums I own OG presses of (pictured right, UK), but I was willing to make an exception in this case.

STT is one of the definitive bands of my life, & I am a bit of an obsessive.
When I saw this year’s #recordstoreday reissue of this features FIVE extra studio tracks, I was all in.
Bit of a different cover, same great record.
Essential.

We still need musicians who’ll do stunts like this.

In 1991, #REM was nominated for nine MTV video music awards. Michael Stipe came prepared with nine political t-shirts, but when they won for “Losing My Religion”, he had to get through as many of those shirts on camera at once as he could.

Later, the band signed them all and donated them to appropriate political causes to auction off.
