Sure is nice to see the other picture where she turned around and faced the camera! When I was a kid I had no idea who he was and assumed it was him with his guitar in the photo! And Alan, there is an Edinburgh sticker but it says North British Station Hotel. "standing out in the desert, balancing a well-traveled guitar case on her back"? I could tell that she was sitting in the desert even as a little kid looking at the cover in my cool teenage cousin Laura's bedroom. Maybe someone can confirm (as I've lost my vinyl copy of Decade in our last house move), but is one of the stickers on the guitar case from Edinburgh Playhouse? Can't blow the picture upclearly enough to see and can't make it out on the CD cover. I'd rather own this than the bold archive box. If you hadn't heard any of his back catalogue,Decade vinyl for the sleeve, was and still is a great starting point. Yes great album/artwork,at the time a comprehensive introduction to Neil's back catalogue. He lived a highly adventurous life filled with wild times and beautiful women, and is celebrated in the memory of those who knew him as one of the great rebellious spirits, and artists, of his time. After several profound encounters, Tom created Project Interspeak and spent the rest of his life trying to mount a global concert on behalf of the dolphin nation…with the Beatles’ artwork a possible funding source. In 1967, as art director for the Monterey Pop Festival, Tom was given a painting by The Beatles, a work that has since become known as “The Dead Sea Scroll Of Rock And Roll.” In the late-70s, he became friends with John and Toni Lilly who introduced him to the concept of dolphin intelligence. His covers include “Flowers” and “Beggars’ Banquet” for the Stones, the stairwell albums for the Beatles, “All Things Must Pass” and “Living In The Material World” for George Harrison, “Harvest” and “Decade” for Neil Young, the whiteface album for Ike & Tina Turner, and many, many more. A graduate of Art Center, he got his start pinstriping hot rods and motorcycles in the 50s before opening his own design studio in Long Beach and moving into record company work with an album for The Coasters. Tom Wilkes was an art director, album cover designer, and photographer who blazed a graphic trail throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s, creating high concept visual statements that have become iconic cultural artifacts. Upon doing a little more research, from " Shakey" by Jimmy McDonough: "The packaging was great - wry notes on each song handwritten by Young himself, and a cover photo obscure even by Young's standards - the girlfriend of art director Tom Wilkes standing out in the desert, balancing a well-traveled guitar case on her back."įrom Mr Music Head (Thanks Mother Nature on the Run!):
