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 […]
Sticky Fingers: Can we show you something nice in a jacket?
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 […]
Sticky Fingers: To Zip Or Not To Zip
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 […]
Skyline – Susanna De Maria screen test
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. […]
Spanish Paul Anka 7″: Let’s add some colours!
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 […]
Paul Anka – The 8 Paintings
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 […]
