I Like this part a lot: “…and please write back saying how much money you would like.”
Wow.
What a beautiful thing, just two artist who mutually want to work with one another and price is an after thought.
A wet dream for today’s freelancer
yeah…….that’s what my clients always tell me!
Sticky Fingers was ’71. Was this Greatest Hits?
Yes, this was Sticky Fingers (according to Wikipedia, artwork was conceived by Warhol, for the first album on Rolling Stones Records).
Andy’s response must have been for Mick to send a signed blank check to begin production.
He didn’t listen to Mick at all! I agree, Mark. That was one of the most complex covers of all time.
Nice ancillary article in today’s NY Times:

Is it a fake? Another point of view ………

publishing a photo without any proof of authenticity is the most stupid thing a photo editor can do.

Awesome and historical.
Not bad at all :-)
Will pass it on to (potential) clients & keep the wise words in mind when I hire creative people myself…
