"Weird Al" Yankovic is one of music's most beloved figures. A skilled accordion player and songwriter, the California native is known for his meticulous parodies of popular songs, hilarious originals, and, of course, for upbeat polkas!
For much of Al's career, one man has been by his side, photographing and documenting the fun and weirdness: longtime drummer Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz. Since meeting Al in 1980, Jon has taken more than 20,000 images of Al in his element: on tour, in the studio, and on video sets.
Black & White & Weird All Over presents hundreds of images of Al, culled from Jon's personal collection of black-and-white photography. These photos only existed on contact sheets - out of mind and out of sight - until now! From behind-the-scenes shots taken on the sets of Al's iconic videos for "Ricky, " "I Love Rocky Road, " "Eat It, " and "Living With A Hernia, " to studio sessions for Al's In 3-D and Polka Party! LPs, Black & White & Weird All Over is the ultimate photographic essay of Weird Al's undisputed comedic genius. This is a brand new, unopened copy.
Please note: Although this particular copy is not numbered, it contains exactly the same contents as the limited edition run of 250 numbered sets. There were a few of these sets printed for the author, and select members of the publishing staff. In some respects, these could be considered more collectible than the numbered sets. The first three photos in the gallery above were taken by me to indicate that this item is still sealed, in its original box. The fourth was taken to show some of the bonus photos that were given to me along with the book, which may or may not be duplicates of the ones that are included in this set.This item is now out of print, and is no longer available from the publisher. Don't let this one get away!
