The photos in this series were taken, scanned and kindly provided by Geoff Allan from the Isle of Wight.
"The colour photographs were taken on the 8th November 1972, with a cheap slide film - as evidenced by the subsequent colour degradation. They were taken with a Zenit B, the cheapest 35 mm SLR camera around at the time, with a fixed focal length. Many were taken using just the available light, which means there is blur on some. I did take a few flash photos, but not many, to avoid distracting the performers. All the scans have been taken from original negatives or colour slides. Looking back at them, I am surprised at how much freedom we had in those days to take photographs at events like this."
