Flamboyant London-born impresario Andrew Loog Oldham began his long career in the music industry as a publicist for producer Joe Meek and singer/songwriter Bob Dylan before he turned to managing and producing the Rolling Stones between 1963 and 1967. He discovered Marianne Faithfull ahead of setting up his own Immediate Records label in 1965 and signing successful artists such as Chris Farlowe, the Small Faces, Rod Stewart, the Nice and Amen Corner. After working in America from 1980, where he produced Donovan, Oldham moved to Colombia and produced three best-selling autobiographies while also hosting a US satellite radio show.
Of all the extraordinary people I have had the good fortune to work with, Andrew has to be the most important. He was a great visionary and always managed to push my photography further than I thought I could go, inspiring me to think harder and experiment more. My time with the Stones and Immediate Records were the 60s for me and without Andrew it wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun. He became a dear friend and still is!
