The Jackson Code - The Things That You Need

This is a tribute to Robert Mitchum's Calypso album. Mark Snarski and I were always trying to outdo each other with our bad shirts but I won hands down with my Charles Bronson shirt with illustrations from all his movies. The label was "Young Man's Mood". The album booklet contains scans of this shirt and some others. I still have the Bronson shirt, I will upload it when I get a minute. A bit of rock trivia - I lent it to a friend and Tex Perkins offered her 300 bucks for it...

Custard - Wisenheimer

Damn, I ran out of room writing the band name but didn't have time to redo it. Thanks to John Webber for his photo of a sleek auto taken of an Indian advertising billboard. I wish I'd got hold of one of the 2 sheet street posters printed in PMS 877 metallic silver. A guy tried to sell me one recently for $1000...
