1982 The Replacements Camera Negative Lost Rock & Roll Photo Archive Early Shot

Description

Grapefruit Moon Gallery is offering a compelling archive of never-before-seen 35MM camera negatives and prints taken in the early 1980s chronicling the Minneapolis punk rock and hardcore scene. The photographer was Tim Schuck, a 1980 graduate of Marshall University High School and classmate of Daniel Murphy, founder and co-owner of Grapefruit Moon Gallery.  These images have never been published and until recently they have been in storage unseen and unknown. Schuck shot many rolls of images of Husker Dü, The Replacements and other local and national rock & roll, punk, and hardcore bands. He is best known as the photographer of the now iconic Grain Belt Beer shot of the Replacements taken at Hum's Liquor store on 22nd and Lyndale in Minneapolis.
ITEM: This auction is for the original 1982 35MM camera negative shown below. It was taken by Tim Schuck who was hired by long time manager Peter Jesperson to photograph the band The Replacements for Twin/Tone records, around the time of their second release "Stink". This was taken in the general neighborhood of the Stinson family house where Bob and Tommy both lived at the time on 2215 Bryant Avenue in the Wedge Neighborhood of South Minneapolis. That house was later used for the cover photograph location on their release Let It be. Pictured are Chris Mars, Paul Westerberg, Bob Stinson and a 16-year old Tommy Stinson (aka Skunk) peering into a storefront probably along Lyndale Avenue. This frame was taken at the same time as the infamous Hum's Liquor Store Grain Belt Beer photo the band used extensively for promotions.
