Richard Fangnail...
I don't. If you're going to do that kind of thing, just use the actual
source photos and not paint the whole thing. If you look closely, you
can tell it's just a painting and not all that accurate. I KNOW it's
by Klaus Voorman.

Bernie Woodham...
I don't own the dvd set. Would like to get it for the extras. But, I own
the Anthology on Laserdisc. Laserdiscs are record album sized and so the
jackets are also. To see that Anthology Cover Art on LP sized jackets
makes a big difference. If you assemble the jackets all together it's like
a 2x4 foot poster.

DC...
I almost bought that a few years ago. It was expensive. I guess I didn't
need to have it in every format.


Leon Trollski...
Yah, but it's a neat painting of album covers by Klaus Voorman! Do you know
him? The Dutch cookie magnate who befriended the Lads, passing them "Lady
Fingers" and even "Digestifs" to sustain them through their long nights at
the Peeperbahn. In fact, this is how the London pop scene's substance abuse
got started. I Nashville it was speed, in London, Dutch Biscuits.

You know, John later paid tribute to him on Plastic Ono Band, "Hold On John"
where he utters the word "cookie."

It's all true.
