Sorry if this has been disgust before, but something that's always made me wonder, what did Rick do to his left arm, in the photo used for the rear cover of the Rockin all over the world album? Looks like it's been bandaged up.

I see what you mean though no, he had an undershirt on. It was taken at a show in 1975, by Robert Ellis (from memory). I assume it was a cold gig. They didn't have money for a proper lighting rig at this point. Just a few coloured cans. Either that or they werent willing to invest money into one |

Definitely looks like his left arm is in plaster or something, ibb.co/z7rgstw isn't a shirt as it would be on the right arm too. But he seems to be holding the guitar in an awkward position too. |

So why the awkward position of holding the guitar coupled with the arm looking in a plaster, it doesn't make sense? I know I am probably speaking out of turn, as my memory plays tricks with me, but I vaugly remember as a child someone telling me Rick had some kind of accident but the record company demanded a live band shot even if it meant Ricks arm is still in a bandage. But dont hold me accountable to that, it's just little memories I was told as a kid. I was just 8 when that album came out, but I remember my friends parents had it on cassette of all formats, but you could still make out the photo. |

I agree, also there doesn’t appear to be anything but a wrist sweatband on his other arm. |

They were taken at Leicester DeMontfort Hall, May 1975. |

Bit strange to use a photo of the band from 75 with Rick and a bandaged arm for an album from 77. Surely a more up to date pic from 76 or something would have been more suitable. I quite like this one: images.app.goo.gl/Tohn8Rf9iy4v2Pn1AOr this one: images.app.goo.gl/EKGfhxM8m77Kmkbv7 |

I see what you mean though I'd be more concerned with that Disco Ball hanging over Rick's head if I were him. |

The first link is of the RAOTW tour, which you can see by the backline and the mirrors at the rear of the stage. |
