Andy Warhol: The Record Covers 1949-1987, Catalogue Raisonne



Released in 2008, the Andy Warhol: The Record Covers 1949-1987, Catalogue Raisonne is nearly comprehensive, but is missing at least one title. Roland and the Flying Albatross Band (later Rat Fab) formed in 1977 and released a single in 1981. Three years later, one of the members of the band visited The Factory with his grandfather, a gallerist at the time who sold some of Warhol’s work. Warhol gave the band an image to use as a logo, and it appeared on promotional copies of a 1984 7-inch single. The disc is incredibly rare now and copies on Ebay tend to sell for about $650 US.
