FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --Los Angeles-based rock photographer Ed Roach
has created a virtual desktop museum with his web site,
roach-clips.com. This extensive library of photographs, video and
documents chronicles a   bygone rock era with groups like the Beach
Boys, Fleetwood Mac, The Grateful Dead, and others. Ed's collection
has been completely digitized, providing rock fans of all ages an
online glimpse into the personal and professional lives of their rock
heroes.

Roach got his start in the mid-1960s by encouragement from the staff
at the New York Times. His photos were deemed too artistic for news
stories. A chance encounter with Beach Boy, Dennis Wilson, opened
the door for him as a tour photographer from the early 1970s to the
1980s, ending shortly before Dennis Wilson's tragic death in 1983
whereupon Ed retired temporarily from his craft.

Nothing could stop Ed from resurfacing nor from maintaining his
collection, professionally known as the Roachclips Archives. His
photos have appeared in Rolling Stone, Mojo, and Stuff magazine. His
acclaimed pioneer music video for Dennis Wilson's solo release,
"The River Song" in 1977 lead to more recent work, such as
Vince Neil's, "Skylar's Song". He has appeared on the E!
True Hollywood Story on the Beach Boys, and is featured in an
episode of BBC 4's "Rock and Roll Myths," airing in
October in the United Kingdom.   

Roach-clips.com licenses all its material for use in television,
print and online media, in addition to providing provocative,
historic online content to the general public.
