Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Cirith Ungol and All Time Favorite Metal Albums

[francis newman (francis]

I’ve enjoyed being introduced and listening to Cirith Ungol. Not my mainstream 
type of music but I enjoy that genre now and then.

Lashdeep mentions Black Sabbath.

Way back then as an assistant photographer I worked in a session with them. 
They were all big hair, gold chains, clicking cuban heels but otherwise 
remarkably quiet!

If you search that website you will also see that I worked on the Bowie Aladdin 
Sane cover photo and I even feature in a video

I was grossly  overweight in that video :-( but am somewhat slimmer now :-)

Just to add some Ferrari content.  Two of our clients in that period (71 - 74) 
arrived at our studio in Ferraris, a green Daytona and a red Dino 246 GTS. 
Those were my first close up encounters with Ferraris.
