After writing the Love You Live cassette post, I came to think of it that also different issues of Sticky Fingers on cassette are quite peculiar, coverwise. Most of the cassettes will have a picture of the famous Warhol jeans cover on front. But in 1971 […]
I have no idea what exactly is the deal with this UK issue of Love You Live on cassette, dating from 1989. You can find it with the cover in the original colours, but also in a version where the cover has a different colour scheme. All same […]
In the previous post I wrote about the poster of the Rolling Stones’ Love You Live album, that was given as a freebee together with the October 1977 issue of Interview magazine. Some years ago I also was able to buy a set of printing […]
Sometimes you need a bit of luck, to find a really great piece for your collection. Like this copy of The Rolling Stones’ Love You Live, that was for sale on eBay about three years ago. The front cover has an orange promotional sticker, and […]
Finally found the time to write a new blog entry. This one was supposed to follow immediately after the previous post, about Warhol’s involverment as manager for Walter Steding. The reason I made a second post, is that I try to seperate the singles from the […]
For those who wonder why I chose the name ‘Andy Earhole’ for my blog: here’s what inspired me. In 1980 Andy Warhol founded his own record label, Earhole Productions, that as far as I know has released just one record, a 12″ single with two tracks: The Joke / Chase […]
So today – and yesterday – we will all be running to the record store I guess, because the official worldwide rerelease of the Rolling Stones’ masterpiece Sticky Fingers is now a fact. Also the rare Spanish cover version gets a rerelease. In Spain, at that time under Franco […]
No need to say that Andy Warhol’s cover concept for the Sticky Fingers album, in which you could unzip a man’s jeans, and see his generously filled underpants underneath, was quite revolutionary (and scandalous). Warhol and designer Craig Braun, whose company fabricated the complex cover, were nominated for a […]
In the second week of June The Rolling Stones are going to officially rerelease their 1971 classic album Sticky Fingers, and all the songs will be played live during the Zip Code Tour in the US starting May 24. The album will be released in a wide variety of […]
Even when you have been collecting Warhol covers for years, and you think you’ve seen them all, a surprise can turn up. Like this album by Skyline on the French label Four Stars Records, found in a joint research with friend and collector Raimund Flöck from Germany. […]
This is also a remarkable Paul Anka release: the single Happier/Closing Doors, which only in Spain had this Warhol portrait on the cover. But the local art director must have thought: “The song is called Happier, but the singer does not look happy at all. Maybe this Warhol […]
There will be not much of a chronology in my blog. I’ll write about whatever I think of first. This post is about the portraits made for Paul Anka’s 1976 album The Painter. It was the first album cover that made use of commissioned portrait […]

Adventures in collecting "modern jazz": the classical music of America from the Fifties and Sixties, and a little Seventies, on original vinyl, on a budget, from England. And writing about it, since 2011. Travelling a little more widely nowadays, and at lower cost, but still 100% vinyl
