Yep which is exactly why i love the older stuff and is why on the whole i prefer stuff like... solo artist or band leader/writer alone in a hotel room and the like. Up close and personal is what its all about for me, especially when you get loud brash artists, they were just made for shots like that. The Elvis one from many moons ago aswell, where he was caught in a clinch with a woman - i think it was on the stairs or somewhere 'behind the scenes' like that anyway. Sums the man up perfectly catching him canoodling with a lady friend on the sly.
Like i said, too much of it is snapshot stuff which i hate, it doesnt say anything. And yes the stuff intended for more private use or exhibitions is a million leagues above the editorial stuff, though some of it can be good, its rarely great.
