While we are on the topic of LYL, what happened on the intro to IORR? I am assuming Keith went in on the wrong key which resulted in Charlie being on the off beat, until he came back in on the on-beat! Great version! I love it above all others!

So who gets credit for the design ?
Looks very Warhol-esque to me.

Warhol said something like that the Stones received a piece of art from him
but Jagger destroyed it with his writing on the front cover.

APOCALYPSE MAO: This Andy Warhol portrait of Mao, which was shot twice by Dennis Hopper in the 1970s, was bought for $302,500 yesterday.
[www.nypost.com]
The Andy Warhol portrait of Chairman Mao that actor Dennis Hopper shot two bullets through sold at Christie's yesterday for $302,500 -- stunning experts who had estimated its worth at a mere $20,000 to $30,000.
That's about $150,000 per gun shot.
The "Easy Rider" actor, who was notorious for his heavy drinking and drug use, popped off two rounds at the screen print one wild night in the 1970s because he "mistook the portrait on his wall for Mao himself and shot at it," according to Christie's.
Alex Hitz, a family friend and estate trustee, told the Associated Press about the bizarre incident.
"One night in the shadows, Dennis, out of the corner of his eyes, saw the Mao, and he was so spooked by it that he got up and shot at it twice, putting two bullet holes in it."
Hopper later showed off the bullet holes to Warhol, who drew circles around them, labeling the one over Mao's right shoulder "warning shot" and the one at his left eyelid "bullet hole."
Warhol then declared him a collaborator on the piece.
"Dennis Hopper's Mao print has a phenomenal story around it and collectors don't simply covet works of art, they love a good narrative," said Christie's Director of Iconic Collections Cathy Elkies.
"Warhol declared the work a collaboration with Hopper, so it is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece that will never be replicated."
