XMAS COVER
If you are finding it difficult to identify the New Zealand rock'n' rollers on this December cover here are some clues: 1. Won numerous awards several weeks ago.
2. Percussionist with band who joined ÜB4O on stage at last Sweetwaters.
3. Host of weekly TV video show. 4. Noted Auckland saxophone player.
5. Not a noted Auckland saxo phone player.
6. Not a noted Auckland saxophone player. 7. Known disciple of John Wayne. Answers elsewhere on page... To be honest we didn't hire Phil Peacocke to shoot this elaborate photo. In fact, it was to be part of a Coruba rum advertisement. But since Benny Hill's entertaining advertisement for a liquor wholesaler was deemed too much fun and removed from our screens, rules on advertising alcohol have been toughened up. This photo could not be used due to it containing revelry, known faces and its illusion to sex (see Rooda's lewd expression).^BHß^!H
Whilst sulking in his studio, it
occurred to photographer Phil Peacocke that Rip It Up may be able to use his photo. And meanwhile only blocks away, Rip It Up editor Murray Cammick, having been snubbed by Boy George and David Bowie was in search of a cover shot.
After consulting with Coruba's agency, Rialto, the photographer rescued this historic photo from the darkroom floor and offered it to Rip It Up and that's the story behind our Yuletide Bumper Indigenous Spectacular cover. MC
