Sound & vision: Rock star images for charity auction

Tom Murray had no idea he would be shooting the Beatles when asked to accompany Don McCullin on a photoshoot. He says: "The Beatles were great to work with. I had a running gag with Paul, where he would look over to see if I was watching and do a quick pose. I watched him out of the corner of my eye and would get great spontaneous shots. I was invited back to Paul McCartney’s home after the shoot for tea. At that time, Paul had four or five girls who regularly staked out the house. When Paul’s Mercedes pulled up to the house and he came out, they were all screaming … then the other Beatles came out of the car and the girls nearly fainted.” Photograph: Tom Murray/Sound and Vision

This previously unseen shot of Bob Geldof was taken in 2003. Roger says: “Bob is obviously a very busy man so it was great to find him in good form, even after I'd kept him waiting for hours after getting stuck in Dublin airport." Photograph: Roger Woolman/Sound and Vision

This mosaic is a handmade, one-off piece depicting John Lennon, who studied at Liverpool Art College with the artist Ed Chapman's mother. Ed says: "I was thinking of a subject who would be instantly recognisable and someone who is a bona fide music icon. Nobody fits this description better than John Lennon."

This image of Razorlight's Johnny Borrell was taken at the Isle of Wight festival. Photographer Andy Willsher says: “The band went over to meet Nelson Mandela the day after in Norway and the bass player got ever so slightly drunk and threw a £500 mic into the crowd!” Photograph: Andy Willsher/Sound and Vision

Pink Floyd recording Wish You Were Here at Abbey Road Studios in London, 1975. Photographer Jill Furmanovsky says: "I went on the road with Pink Floyd to shoot stills on the Dark Side of the Moon tour in 1974. After the tour the band went into Abbey Road to make the album that became Wish You Were Here. I was asked by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis to drop in discreetly and shoot while they were working. They must have been recording Welcome to the Machine because Roy Harper is in some of the pictures." Photograph: Jill Furmanovsky/Sound and Vision

Here's Pete Townshend at his home opposite the legendary Eel Pie Island in 1971. Photographer Barrie Wentzell says: "I found him dressed up in a pearly king outfit with a banjo setting up a collection of his daughter's toys in his garden. His faithful spaniel, Towser, posed perfectly during the shoot. I can't quite recollect what Pete's story was about, but I do remember that we had a lot of fun and tea in the garden on a perfect sunny afternoon." Photograph: Barrie Wentzell /Sound and Vision

Photographer Paul Spencer took this shot of the Sex Pistols. He says: "It was June 1996 and the original Pistols lineup returned – Lydon, Cook, Jones and Matlock – for the Filthy Lucre world tour. Over 70 dates throughout Europe, North and South America, Japan and Australasia. I was in LA and was commissioned to photograph the band at the Chateau Marmont hotel just prior to their tour."
