Welcome To The New Kramer Archives Website!

I want to welcome you to our new web site. We have spent a lot of effort in making it easy to travel through and a joy to look at. We hope you enjoy the images we have picked - 50 of our best selling images are now up on the new site. These images chronicle my many years working with some of the biggest and most creative artists of any generation, including Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and of course Jimi Hendrix with whom I had a very close working and personal friendship. In the ‘Legends’ section we have selected some of the most influential musicians in Rock History who contributed to making this time so special. Kramer Archives has hundreds of images that never been released nor offered to the public, and we have plans to release them in the near future, as well as many other products now in development. We will also be constantly updating the site with new features such as my audio commentary for each of the images.

In 2012 I will be celebrating my 50th year in the music business and my 70th birthday. To help launch these events we are preparing a documentary film and a book called "From the Other Side of the Glass". I have always felt that the period from 1967-1972 when I took these photographs was 'The Golden Age of Rock n' Roll' and hopefully you will agree with me... ~ Eddie Kramer
