David Bailey’s Rock and Roll Heroes assembles more than eighty of Bailey’s most iconic photographs an unmatched visual chronicle of the pop and rock landscape from the 1960s to the early 2000s. Capturing the electricity, charisma, and mythology of music culture, Bailey presents the figures who shaped entire generations.
The book features some of Bailey’s earliest portraits of Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and The Who, alongside later sessions with Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis. It also includes striking images of Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, John Lydon, Boy George, Tina Turner, and Sting, forming a personal pantheon of modern music legends.
A standout section documents the 1985 Live Aid concert, portraying Bob Geldof, Queen, and others at the height of their cultural impact. Bailey’s lens also reaches toward earlier icons Fred Astaire, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington captured with the same bold clarity and irreverent honesty that defines his work.
This softcover large format edition offers a generous, immersive view of Bailey’s signature portraiture: raw, stylish, and charged with the unmistakable pulse of rock and roll.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
