Elton John Original Dezo Hoffman Photograph From Old Grey Whistle Test 1974. Size is 178mm x 252mm. !!REDUCED PRICE!!The photograph was taken either during the rehearsal or recording of Elton\'s live performance for Old Grey Whistle Test, transmitted on 9th July 1974.This is an extremely rare original photograph by the world famous Dezo Hoffman. It carries Hoffman\'s stamp on the reverse, meaning it was either printed by the photographer himself or someone in his studio. Hoffman was renowned for his work with The Beatles and other music icons of the 1960s. Original prints can sell for large amounts.
This is being offered at a sensible price as there is a tiny horizontal scratch on the surface of the photo. It can be seen in the image directly below Elton\'s left hand shirt collar. I don\'t think this distracts from the photo in any way and could easily be retouched with a pen.
Apart from the scratch, there are no other major defects. There is light creasing to the corners and some light wear to the photograph; hardly surprising considering it\'s 44 years old. I\'ve had it stored in a filing cabinet for the last 36 years amongst other photos and press releases, so it has been removed on numerous occasions.
Despite its age, there is no foxing visible anywhere on the photograph.
Please note: the word sample is not on the original photograph but has been used to stop anyone reproducing the image or Hoffman\'s stamp.
