Derek D'Souza: "In Echoed Steps: The Jam and a Vision of The Albion"

Steve from Retro Man Blog talks to photographer Derek D'Souza in the build up to the release of his new book "In Echoed Steps: The Jam and a Vision of The Albion" in conjunction with Simon Wells and Paul Skellett. Derek chats about how he got to meet The Jam and eventually shooting the cover photography for the "Absolute Beginners" single. Along the way we talk about his early days down the front at gigs, his involvement in the excellent "The Jam: About The Young Idea" exhibition and some of the other bands he has worked with and his fashion photography. Of course there's music too from The Jam, The Past Tense, French Boutik, Nadia Sheikh and The Spitfires.
