RIP Mr. Peellaert, belgian artist
He made the cover for "IORR"

And tried to ruin the Stones' image as upstanding members of the community by portraying them as transvestites. Great artist though. God bless him.

I think The Stones did that without any help from M. Peellaert!



"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

Try and get hold of the Rock Dreams book - a wonderful visual display of the main 60's (and in some case earlier" Rock stars with a Nick Cohn narrative.
Great section on the Stones - around 6 or 7 photos, with each character dropping off so you are left with just Mick -" all alone, in his room full of mirrors, never looking any older".
The preceeding one has Mick and Keith in pirates gear -how clairvoyant is that?!
Perhaps someone more clever than me can re-produce them on these pages.

I used to have this book but it fell apart years ago!







Can't find the pirates picture, though!

Both the Beatles and the Stones had at least half a dozen pages each...charting their "changes" so the link above is not the full picture.
Definitely sure the penultimate one of the Stones is Mick and Keith as "pirates".

I still got the book although it fell apart completely but still nice to watch

I still have mine and it too fell apart years ago. I wrapped t up in plastic.

Mine had a different cover than the one shown however. The moody shot of Ray Charles driving the car was my favorite.

Here it is!



"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

He did Diamond Dogs as well! Great artist!

He also did some alternate artwork for DIAMOND DOGS which wasn't used; I've got it in some Bowie book. Don't know if it's in ROCK DREAMS.

Yeah, some of it was released on the Anniversary Edition...I love the one with Bowie in the Black suit with the dog jumping up...there are some cool still shots of the sessions where he posed for the art.

>I love the one with Bowie in the Black suit with the dog jumping up

That's the one.

That's not the original cover if I recall. The original was Dylan and Mick (as above which is a blow up and crop of the original) and also had 3 more rockers - I think it was LENNON, ELVIS, and BOWIE maybe? Not sure about #5 (Bowie).... anybody have the original original? ROCKMAN? I have 2 copies (1 falling apart, the other in great shape) but they're put away. RIP Guy, your art was fantastic and thought provoking... always sad when a true artist dies, the best of what the human race has to offer......

THAT'S IT !! As usual, Schillid comes to the rescue ! good job my man.... (wonder why they redid the cover. IMHO this one is much better......)

Does the image "wrap around" onto the back cover?

For me IORR has the best cover of any Stones album.

I don't think so, I think the back is kinda blah if I recall. You should try to find the solo shot of Jagger sitting in a kind of ornate lonely looking room in a sort of Hugh Hefner red robe/smoking jacket (with his 1989 Steel Wheels short hair cut) looking very proper and ALONE and it says something like "...and then there was one, he had grown tired and weary of all the games many many years ago, etc, etc" - something like that.... In a way SO prolific because in about 5 to 7 years from now we'll be seeing EXACTLY that shot somewhere.

What's the story behind the picture with the nazi uniforms ?

What's the story behind the picture with the nazi uniforms ?

Brian was photographed wearing a Nazi uniform as an anti-fascist statement.
Don't know the context of it though.



"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

Poor Brian, he got into trouble even with this shot. He was with Anita (German background)at the time and as the then Golden Couple of the day, were of interest to the fashion and celebrity mags. I think it was Anita who put Brian up to it, the old devil.
There was also a time when Brian's flat at the time was shown to be in a very untidy state - he claimed that the photographers had got him at the wrong time, but of course as we found out years later Brian's life style was chaotic, to put it mildly.
Wearing Nazi attire also got one of the members of the UK Royal Family into trouble recently....some people have never forgotten The War, you see.
Difficult to guage what Brain REALLY thought about it...I suspect Anita however knew it would shock the establishment.

Re the single pose of Mick: I think the artist has used an image of Mick in Performance with the slicked back hair and then fast forward, to say ? 2013.
So,there is Mick ,with cosmetic surgery, all the money/wealth he couldn't ever possibly spend / all alone after outliving all his band mates - Keith being the last one to go.
It some ways, its not an impossible scenario you know.
