Roberta Bayley on album cover photo

083.jpg

Photographer Roberta Bayley is known for her
photo of the Ramones used on their first album
cover; but that's not all.
Her photo of Elvis Costello shouting on stage was also used on
the cover of his album "Rock and Roll music"

The photo was originally taken at CBGB in NY back
in 1978, Elvis with Richard Hell & Voidoids.
For the album cover, Richard was cut off,
and rest of members are blurred to literally
"focus" only on Elvis to stand out in the photo.

And interesting thing is, the "Red Shoes" are
photoshopped and added on the photo; from
the below link, you can read Roberta's comment on
how Elvis on the cover ended up in Red Shoes.
