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 […]
New venues for Warhol on Vinyl & Warhol by the Book
This week my friend and art collector Frank Edwards from Detroit, Michigan, had wonderful news on his blog warholcovers.com. Last year Frank has donated his entire collection of music albums with Warhol covert art to the Cranbrook Museum of Art, so that they would be able to […]
A Program of Mexican Music
This fantastic recording of a live concert conducted by Carlos Chávez in May 1940 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, was originally released as a 4 disc 78rpm set by Columbia Masterworks, in September 1940. The format of this (heavy) set with serial […]
Walter Steding – Secret Spy
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 […]
Walter Steding, Captain Henry and Earhole Productions
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 […]
Warhol on 45: Waltzes by Johann Strauss Jr.
This beautiful EP on Camden records is the pride of my collection, because in fact I myself discovered this Warhol cover. In 2007 I visited Kdx Fairs!, a famous record fair in Ghent, Belgium. I was browsing a box of old American jazz and classical EP’s, hoping to […]
Warhol on 45: Artie Shaw – Both Feet In The Groove
For the release of Artie Shaw’s Both Feet In The Groove album on the 7 inch format, RCA used the same system as they did for I’m Still Swinging: a double EP with gatefold cover was issued, containing 8 out of 12 tracks (EPB-1201). A single 4-track record […]
Warhol on 45: Count Basie – Count Basie
In 1955 RCA Victor released a Count Basie album – without a title – that had a beautiful Warhol portrait of the Count on the cover. The complete album was also released on 7 inch, in a great triple gatefold cover (EPC-1112). In Europe the […]
Warhol on 45: Joe Newman – I’m Still Swinging
I’m starting a series of posts now about my single collection: Warhol on 45. First one in line is Joe Newman’s I’m Still Swinging. Warhol delivered a blotted line drawing, but whoever did the design has not been credited. Often you read that a difference […]
Honey, where’s the can opener?
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 […]
Some more Progressive Pianos
Let’s have a look at some great drawings for the Progressive Piano cover. As usual Warhol did a lot of different drafts for one singular project: with real piano keys or colored patches; with jacket & shirt sleeves or bare arms. After 10 years of […]
Progressive Horowitz Piano
The RCA Victor album Piano Music of Mendelssohn and Liszt, by Vladimir Horowitz, is one of the six new additions to the brand new second edition of Paul Maréchal’s catalogue raisonné of Andy Warhol record covers. Maréchal situates the date of release about 1954, and to […]
