That Seven & the Ragged Tiger Album Cover Again…

Hi, Just wanted to know who the photographer for the seven and the ragged tiger album session and how many versions are there and can you give us the back ground of the session since it is the best session they have ever done.  FS

REBECCA BLAKE WAS THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND THERE WERE SEVERAL VARIATIONS SHOT, SOME OF WHICH ENDED UP BEING USED FOR PUBLICITY SHOTS. THE SHOOT WAS DONE VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING, IN SYDNEY, AND THE BAND REMEMBER BEING QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELL BEING OF THE TIGER MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. THE BAND HAD BEEN IN AUSTRALIA FOR SOME TIME FINISHING THE ALBUM, AND, AS ALWAYS, WERE UP AGAINST DEADLINES TO COMPLETE THEIR WORK. REBECCA WENT ON TO MAKE SOME VIDEOS (THOUGH NO DURAN DURAN ONES), INCLUDING “KISS” BY PRINCE.
