re: #163 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Did they not have to coax Kelly Freas out of retirement to do that cover? (Or am I confusing that with the Cars getting Alberto Vargas to do Candy-O)?

I think that was Vargas that the Cars coaxed out of retirement. Kelly Freas was still working as an artist when he did the News of the World album cover.

And certainly, the Candy-O album cover is iconic as well. There’s definitely a few of them out there, like the Rio album cover done by Patrick Nagel.
