John Mendelssohn in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.nortonrecords.com/a4-peculiar-to-mr-bowie-by-john-mendelssohn/ https://johnmendelssohn.wixsite.com/jnm-creative PECULIAR TO MR BOWIE : A Day With David Bowie. 1971 by John Mendelssohn  New photobook! Limited 48 page souvenir photobook by rock n' rollin' author/artist/photographer/journalist/bon vivant John Mendelssohn,  who  was tapped to meet up with an unknown longhair from London named David Bowie on his first trip to the US on a press junket for the  just-released Mercury album  The Man Who Sold The World. John met up with DB in San Franscisco with his camera in tow, and started  snappin and yappin. This book includes John's original story from Rolling Stone,  his revelations and jubilations on (and of) the topic of DB, plus we have Paul Gorman writing brilliantly about the origin and influence of the man-dress, as created by bespoke tailor Mr. Fish of London... and we have the photos, one roll of film that captured  both Mr Fish man-dresses-- the luxe, flowing, floral that appeared on the UK cover of The Man Who Sold The World and the sublime blue-gray raw silk number that graced a special edition collection, presented in a newspaperly dot screen reminiscent of the Rolling Stone print methods of the day.
