Here's a first stab at a cover shoot - As I recall Nick Knight took these. there's @drummerwhitey crossing the road - chose to not wear the fake fur. PW had the title we just now how to figure out the cover. this wasn't it though. #timstwitterlisteningparty

Here's the image of @drummerwhitey used on the inner sleeve - the getaway driver. always kept the motor running! Steve's playing transformed the band from the get-go. 16 years of age he was when we first met.

we all brought our favourite iconic elements to dress the shop. I've still got a couple. the Lennon hanger was Paul's which he gave to me. I had the Michael Caine signed picture, Billie LP - artist David Stone Martin was a big inspiration. #timstwitterlisteningparty

Thinking about #VaughnToulouse today, his birthday. An absolute gem of a fella, I'm proud to have called a friend. Here's a snap I took outside Solid Bond - looking back for my book I realised again if not for him I'd never have designed a record sleeve. Long gone & much missed.

What are track - 'Instant Karma' for the 80s - @drummerwhitey doing the job of two drummers at once design-wise we were really given the freedom to just do as we pleased - there was no plan - just having fun and wind up the wrong (or right) people. #timstwitterlisteningparty
