1976 MAC Photo Poster

I found this poster on Ebay. Upon further inspection, I noticed that just about every member has his/her shirt open....except Mick, who just couldn't pull it off...? (Or maybe his fly is open?)

Judging by the look on each one's face, I don't know what to make of it.

Are they pissed? Are they bored? Are they giving us a *sexy* pose?

I don't know, but I have always wanted that one. It just never comes up at a time that I can afford it. I've been outbid on it like, 7 times since probably 2000 or 2001.

Christine is pissed off because Lindsey showed up at the photo session wearing the same exact outfit. She was in the process of changing her blouse in this shot.

Lindsey was practicing his "Blue Steel."

Stevie was glad she was actually wearing clothes for a change.

Mick is anxious to end the photoshoot because he's paying the photographer by the hour.

John figure he should f@g it up since he is so close to Mick's package.

Bravo! (Very amusing ~ I'm glad someone could explain it!)

OMG ~ That was the 1st Mac poster I ever bought (back in 1979). I thought it was so cool until I realized there were better ones out there. I never really liked it - none of them look particularly good - and I gave it away a friend in the early 80s.

I love this shot of Christine, she pulls of this look quite well.

John in shiny jackets = happiness.

I think Lindsey may have left his brain in the studio when they left for this photo shoot. He sorta looks like there's nothing upstairs in this pic.

i have never seen that poster before.

Wow!. A about 15 years ago -- I'm not sure where-- I bought a huge poster featuring a different pose from that photo shoot (1975 or early 1976). It's an amazing poster!!!

Recently I was looking at it, amazed at how young and crazed they look. This shot really caputures their bohemian/cocaine essence of that time. Their clothes are more "street" than we're used to seeing (John excluded!); very hippy/seventies. And they all look completely zonked! It's really funny to see. Mick's, Chris's and Lindsey's eyes are bugging out of their heads. John is completely blank-faced, and Stevie has a very giddy guilty look on her face.

I love it. There is no other photo that captures them quite like this. It's very raw, and the debauchery is right there to see!

Hey Penguinhead -

Does your poster look anything like this?

It appears to me that John is channeling the future Michael Jackson look.
