	4:07am Brian D: First Friday, but yes.
	⚡ 4:08am Brian in UK: Oh yes, Mick Rock did this album cover?
	4:10am morphe': So amazing, I was thinking of this song the other day remembering the melody but could remember any lyric. Was thinking it was Bowie, but then thinking just sounded like Bowie and I literally just tuned in ..Serendipity.. Thanks BD !!!
	4:11am Paulo AD: Man, what a tune. I love Bowie
	4:11am Brian D: Mick helped Bowie with the Ziggy persona, but he didn't do the cover for that record. He did do Aladdin Sane, however.
	4:16am DktrFaustus: I was just listening to Aladdin Sane. Phenomenal album!
	4:18am DktrFaustus: I think Mick Rock shot the cover of Bowie's eponymous 1969 album.

	4:21am DktrFaustus: Cheers! Loving the music.

	4:23am miles: did NOT do the front cover of Pin Ups
	4:25am Brian D: Then Wikipedia has it wrong, @miles.
	4:27am DktrFaustus: His obit in The Guardian says he did the cover for Pinups.
	4:27am Brian D: Here is a complete-ish list: ononeonlinesblog.wordpress.com...
	4:28am miles: "The cover photo for Pin Ups reflected the theme of swinging London by featuring 1960s supermodel Twiggy, who had previously been name-checked on Aladdin Sane's "Drive-In Saturday" as "Twig the Wonder Kid". The photo was taken midway through the sessions at a Paris studio by her then-manager and partner Justin de Villeneuve" from Wikipedia
