Closeup # 2

I have long wanted to do a series on complete runs of the early AMG albums — the first twelve photos in a set, sold as a group — and I can now do Albums O, P, Q, R, and S. These are mostly solo albums, since the A-Z and ZA-ZZ series featured more solo than variety albums and catalogues, even as the latter grew to an often alarming size.

Album O is unusual in that, like Album M, the whole catalogue is just the album of twelve images. Another unusual feature, as I discovered, is that Album O is a dual album, since Ken Rashoff appears in nine images and Larry Farrell appears in three.

Finally, Album O has a numbers of images stamped to indicate the image has been reversed, so I will show both versions.
