A few words from the vendor:
"In 1981, I was 19 and a keen photographer who loved live music. At the time I worked for Kodak Ltd, who at the time were the world's leading photographic company. As such I was taught well in the art of picture composition, depth of field, ISO and shutter speed.
My first of many U2 gigs was at my local venue at Friars, Aylesbury on 6th June 1981, following which I managed to get into the press pit of 4 further gigs on the album tour launch of 'October' later that year. So, you can probably imagine, along with my trusty Nikon FM camera lots of Kodak film, I lapped it up and was fortunate to see them at the following 4 UK venues."
