“No Other” - Scrapbook

All of the following pictures were taken during the recording sessions of “No Other” and come from an original contact sheet acquired by Whin Oppice from the John Dietrich estate sale. The following is a note from Mr. Oppice himself explaining more about these images and their origin.

“I can verify that the Scrapbook Lee Sklar “No Other” photos came from the John Dietrich estate. Whether they were taken by John or Linda, I don't know. I acquired original contact sheets and negatives from these No Other Sessions from the John Dietrich estate sale, Lake Havasu City, AZ, July of 2007. In January 2008 I emailed Lee and included scans of the photos from the Dietrich contact sheets. Glad you like the photos. - Whin Oppice”.
