Photographer Barry Feinstein's original outtake proof from the shoot for the front cover of Delaney & Bonnie's 1969 debut album Home, showing Delaney and Bonnie with Delaney's grandfather, John Bramlett, in front of the log cabin in Pontotoc, Mississippi, where Delaney grew up. The color semi-glossy 15.25 x 15.75 photograph is affixed to its original 20 x 24 board, with a protective paper overlay featuring a label from Ted Staidle & Associates Photographic Color Reproduction, Los Angeles. In fine condition.
In this image, Bonnie is looking down and Delaney is conversing with his grandfather; in the similar image chosen for the album's front cover, Bonnie peers straight ahead while Delaney looks away. Recorded at Stax Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, the album offers a classic blend of blues and soul, with backing performances by many of Stax's legendary house musicians, including Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Steve Cropper, Booker T. Jones, and Isaac Hayes.
From the personal collection of Barry Feinstein and accompanied by a letter of authenticity from his estate. Barry Feinstein passed away in 2011, and since then his estate has offered posthumous estate stamped limited edition photographs from his archives; this example, printed during his lifetime and deriving from his personal collection, is superior to those gallery offerings.
