rockstars in the nuddy (slight return)


 





































Sounds again, of course - what was it with their compulsion to show hard rockers with their kit off? 

True, they went equally for salacious innuendos and cheesecake pictures of New Wave babes like Gaye Advert and Debby Harry

Perhaps it's just equal-opportunity earthiness

Readers responded in similar ways too - there was a whole running thing of letters drooling over Peter Perrett

Perhaps more honest than say, NME, about the element of concupiscence at work in rock fandom



That dainty, modesty-covering frond reminds me of the Harry G. Theaker-illustrated version of The Water-Babies, which my granny had a copy of 



Oddly the original illustrations by J. Noel Paton, despite being done at the height of Victorianism, are less coy





Or was it this Edwardian edition my granny had?
