Note to mobile users and others on slow or data-limited
connections: This part of Chord & Sorcery is graphics-intensive.
For your convenience, there is a number next to each thumbnail showing
how large the actual image is in kilobytes.
Also, some thumbnails have been cropped for size, so there may be more to certain images than is visible here.
NOTE: Copyright of these images remains with their subject and original photographer; my tag on a scan is merely to denote that I was the one who went to the time and trouble to convert a particular photo from hardcopy to digital and upload it to the web for other fans to enjoy. HOWEVER, while I don't "own" these pics in any kind of legal sense, I would still appreciate being asked or at the very least informed if you wish to reproduce them on another website (I can be contacted by email here) and a link back to C&S (see this page for code and banners) or some other form of acknowledgement would be lovely, as well. Thank you!
A goofy moment immortalized on the cover of Rolling Stone
|
Cute; the rest of the band seems to be clowning around a bit, but Ben's just standing there like, "Come on, guys, we're supposed to be posing."
|
Okay, I could have done without the pic of Angus Young (not an AC/DC fan...) but it's a good shot of the guys.

The Cars on the cover of Hit Parader
|
A quizzical moment between Ben and David Robinson
|
Hmm... I wonder if the fact that Ben is the only one who's properly lit in this pic means the photographer was female?

Another "goofy Cars" pic... Ben looks like he's asking the photographer, "You want me to do WHAT?"
|
A Door To Door-era pic, from the cover of BAM magazine
|
A great Heartbeat City-era pic of everybody
|
The Cars in flight... poor Greg Hawkes looks like he's got rigor mortis...
|
Ben's expression here cracks me up... he looks like he's thinking something like, "Now what is THAT doing all the way up THERE?"
|
The Cars, from the cover of Trouser Press

What a great pic of Ben... well, and everybody else, too...

The Cars on the cover of Musician magazine

A pic from the Record article... Ben's looking quite hunky...

An early promo shot. I'm guessing this is debut album era, 1978 or thereabouts...
|
A promo pic from the Panorama era (1980)
|
And one more promo shot, from the Shake It Up era (1982)
|
Another Shake It Up-era pic, this one from a magazine pinup
|
Damn... the layout artists at Music Life put that inset of David Robinson in exactly the WRONG place...
|
Yet another early 80's promo shot
|
From a Creem magazine pinup, circa 1984...
|
This is a good pic of everyone, but Ben looks kinda tired to me...
|
The Cars with... well, a car.

Another Heartbeat City-era pic... Ben looks hot, as usual...

I believe the stage setup here was from the Panorama tour...
