Ann Moses (editor of Tiger Beat magazine):

"I first met Jimmy when he was in the Yardbirds and I was contributing articles to the New Musical Express pop newspaper in England. The Yardbirds were in Hollywood to perform at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on September 7, 1966. After our interview, Jimmy asked me if I could introduce them to the Monkees - the buzz was out on this new pop sensation. So, I made arrangements to take Jimmy out to their set. I adore the photo that was taken that day - My left arm through Jimmy's, Peter has me in a "headlock," and both Micky and Jimmy have their jackets covered in buttons. This was the coolest thing at the time. My button says "Fly High with the Yardbirds." We had such a blast out on the set, and if you look closely, behind us are Jimmy's record companies execs and I think they were as thrilled as Jimmy to be out on the Monkees set!"



(Nice to see Ann still has the same giddy writing style as in her Tiger Beat days )

I'm here to frickin' amuse you? What the frick is so funny about me?

These everyday snapshots, assembled from a variety of sources by collector Robert E. Jackson, capture people throughout the 20th century proudly posing with vinyl records.

These faded prints and Polaroids recall a time when a new record was a physical work of art to be admired and cherished.
