Conceptualised by Andy Warhol and designed by Craig Braun , it’s trashy, bold, genuine and stark- a perfect representative for the records contents and, let’s face it, everyone has at some point assumed that’s Mick Jaggers’ tockley on the front.
I’m not 100% , but apparently it’s either Warhol regular Joe Dallesandro or Braun’s photographic assistant Jed Johnson in the photo but who cares? Not me. When your album is this good you can put your dick where you like.
The Spanish government in 1971 apparently did, however and refused to release the album (even with a working zipper and a fetching pair of briefs beneath) so the stones and spanish label Hispavox came up with this - For me the tinned fingers , serrated edges and creepy treacle is just as scary as the giant wee-wee - again tho’, composition wise, it’s a highpoint of stones’ artwork. Conceptually it plays out like something from Burgo’s catchphrase, it’s violent, funny, simple and a little stomach turning but it’s the balance of dumb and brilliant that make it more the latter.
COVER/NM VYNILE/NM LP & 45 RECORD GRADING (Goldmine Grading Guide © Goldmine Magazine) Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way -- certain never played, possibly even still sealed. Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record, showing no obvious sign of wear. A 45 sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. The same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and remove the shrink wrap. VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket may have slight signs of wear also and be marred by a cut-out hole, identation or corner indicting it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. Very Good (VG) Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. Poor (P), Fair (F) The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon.
