Patti Smith

Hey there, I'm looking for the early nude photos of Patti Smith, taken early to mid 70's - not the famous 'radiator' shot:

I had one of the nudes awhile back from an old fanzine but can't find it anywhere on the net, which seems most unusual in this day and age - Has anyone out there got anything? I know they were published in some underground papers back then, so there must be some floating around somewhere. Any help would be much appreciated, I've been looking for these for ages & it's become something of a holy grail..

Here are the other ones I could find:

ok, so there's this one, too, though this has made the rounds before - it's other photos from this session and around this time that we're looking for. Great shot, though.

Almost nude

I agree with bette.
There are a lot of non-nude but great photographs of Patti, specially some by Mapplethorpe.
