It’s the weekend! It has been a very busy week (so far) so it’s time to kick back with some stories and updates from the past week, along with gossip and news from the weeks to come…
Next week sees the release of The Rolling Stones‘ Sticky Fingers reissue. Look out for an extensive SDE photo gallery of all the different editions on Monday, but to whet your appetite below is an image of a letter written by Mick Jagger (in early 1969) to Andy Warhol that features in the album booklet. As you can see, Mick is thanking Andy for agreeing to do the artwork, and hilariously Mick tries to warn Warhol off making it too ‘complicated’ and ‘more complex than just pages or fold out’. Of course Andy Warhol would ignore all this and his working zip design was expensive, tricky to duplicate and even scratched records. I wonder how much he charged? Mick casually just asks him to ‘write back saying how much money you would like.’
