Original vintage transparency from the legendary performances at the Hammersmith in 1975 culminating in the Xmas Eve show which was broadcast on BBC2 as part of The Old Grey Whistle Test programme and then the audio broadcast later on Radio 1.
Printed on reversal film these positive images produce colour transparencies that were used in commercial photography until the mid-1990s when digital media gradually replaced them. They were preferred for publication because of the film’s higher contrast and resolution, the colours are more vibrant with a finer grain and better resolution and sharpness compared to traditional negative films.
To display the transparency in all it's glory it has been framed in a 30mm flat black wood-grained frame behind reflection free Art Glass uv70, mounted and supported with acid free black core mounts and back lit by an LED light box powered by two AAA alkaline batteries (included).
Access to the battery compartment and the on/of switch is via a cut out in the frame backing. The display was custom made by one of the UK's leading online frame makers and would look good hanging or free standing on a shelf or desk.
