Of course, the reverse is also true. To Bill Wyman,

Quotedcba Quotestonehearted Mick still seems to favor the traditional live album release with studio overdubs. Mick hates taking risks, we all know that by now! A "straight-from-the-board" release is a "no no" in his book, and that's pretty logical coming from a band which doctored ALL their live releases since 1970. Did they tidy up Brussels Affair too?

Quotetreaclefingers I'm pretty sure I've heard that story the other way around, Jagger mentioned Peelaert and their cover to Bowie, and Bowie usurped the Stones with the Diamond Dogs cover.

Quotemighty stork I think Black and Blue sounds so different is because this album was made as they were trying out different guitarists to replace Mick Taylor. It's going to have a different feel because they aren't used to playing with each other yet. Probably why all the tracks, even the rockers, are so slow, come to think of it.

QuoteOver the years the artistically inclined Jagger kept tabs on the musically inclined Warhol. Mick was such an admirer, that in 1972 when the Stones formed their own record company, they tapped Andy to design their logo.
