He was the best Qawwalist ever. Very unique and spiritual lyrics which transcends borders. Nobody can beat him.

Pictured in April 1965 a hard up young songwriter by the name of David Robert Jones (later known as David Bowie) funded his burgeoning music career working on the Mini production line at the Cowley factory near Oxford, though this wasn’t to last as two years after this photo was taken he signed his first record deal and released his debut LP in June 1967. He never forgot his roots though and he often went back to the factory to see his old workmates, sang some of his glam rock hits to them over the Tannoy and signed autographs. By the early 70s his platform boots and glittery capes were a trip hazard around the factory floor and sadly due to health and safety concerns his annual visits were curtailed after an unfortunate incident on the factory’s rolling road! Bowie later sang the song ‘Wild Is The Wind’ about the excess flatulence he witnessed on the shop floor and the songs ‘Under Pressure’ , ‘It Ain’t Easy’ and ‘Breaking Glass’ all about his golden years fitting the windscreens into our beloved little Minis at the Cowley plant, to think that the screens in your early Mini could well have been fitted by Ziggy Stardust himself!

I’m looking for risqué album art.
Much appreciated, if youse have anything to add.
Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin don’t count. Getting a white French girl out of her clothes is easy as marking Rashford out of a game.

Jane Birkin was actually English…
I was thinking of some 1970s and 1980s hard rock albums. I looked some up and wondered what the hell I was thinking of. This is probably one of the more sharable images without ending up on a register.

And one of the most iconic (and expensive) handbags in history is named after her.
I’m sure footballers are swinging them at each other all the time.

Just looked it up. Expensive doesn’t do it justice. I actually bought my wife a new car for her birthday this year. Turns out it was the budget option.

Looks smarter too as well as having a ‘radio’ in it that one can listen to music. Bob Marley ATM for me.

’ Nicola Sacco (pronounced [niˈkɔːla ˈsakko]; April 22, 1891 – August 23, 1927) and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (pronounced [bartoloˈmɛːo vanˈtsetti, -ˈdzet-]; June 11, 1888 – August 23, 1927) were Italian immigrants and anarchists who were controversially convicted of murdering Alessandro Berardelli and Frederick Parmenter, a guard and a paymaster, during the April 15, 1920, armed robbery of the Slater and Morrill Shoe Company in Braintree, Massachusetts, United States. Seven years later, they were executed in the electric chair at Charlestown State Prison.
After a few hours’ deliberation on July 14, 1921, the jury convicted Sacco and Vanzetti of first-degree murder and they were sentenced to death by the trial judge. Anti-Italianism, anti-immigrant, and anti-anarchist bias were suspected as having heavily influenced the verdict. A series of appeals followed, funded largely by the private Sacco and Vanzetti Defense Committee. The appeals were based on recanted testimony, conflicting ballistics evidence, a prejudicial pretrial statement by the jury foreman, and a confession by an alleged participant in the robbery. All appeals were denied by trial judge Webster Thayer and also later denied by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. By 1926, the case had drawn worldwide attention. As details of the trial and the men’s suspected innocence became known, Sacco and Vanzetti became the center of one of the largest causes célèbres in modern history. In 1927, protests on their behalf were held in every major city in North America and Europe, as well as in Tokyo, Sydney, Melbourne, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Dubai, Montevideo, Johannesburg, and Auckland.[1]
Celebrated writers, artists, and academics pleaded for their pardon or for a new trial. Harvard law professor and future Supreme Court justice Felix Frankfurter argued for their innocence in a widely read Atlantic Monthly article that was later published in book form.[2] Even the Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was convinced of their innocence and attempted to pressure American authorities to have them released.[3][4] The two were scheduled to be executed in April 1927, accelerating the outcry. Responding to a massive influx of telegrams urging their pardon, Massachusetts governor Alvan T. Fuller appointed a three-man commission to investigate the case. After weeks of secret deliberation that included interviews with the judge, lawyers, and several witnesses, the commission upheld the verdict. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed in the electric chair just after midnight on August 23, 1927
