Bob Flanagan and friend pic. . . .
 

mmmm yes. so i was perusing my newly purchased copy of the dirty deluxe set and reading the liner notes therein when i came across thurston's account of mike kelley's artwork for the album. what interests me and what i would like to ask about is the picture thurston refers to as "bob flanagan and friend in a flagrant mood of adult memory sensation" which was discontinued from the first pressing of the dirty cd.

now. just recently i ordered an fx pedal from ebay and saw the guy selling it also had a copy of dirty for sale which i snapped up for a quid fifty. When i got it there was no great excitement because i knew the inlay pics and notes etc . . . aswell as the music of course. However, when i opened up that filthy fucker lo and behold i see me the dirtiest damned twisted image going right there under the cd and obscured by cloudy plastic. I had never seen it before. My friends were jealous. I felt content.

so yes. i have that picture on my cd inlay. i didn't know it had been deleted. i would imagine that's a pretty rare find aint it friends???? no?

scan of it would be nice.

oh yeah . . .err .. i presumed everyone here would know exactly what i'm talking about. you can see the picture on the youth website. according to the liner notes. i couldn't find it on there though.

so which one is it?

oh. it's the filthy picture of naked man and woman 'toying' with themselves. what looks like shit and teddy bear obscenity. It's a grainy black and white. Oh you just have to!

50.000 copies have the intray picture. I've seen quite a few. But always a nicefind nonetheless....

I have it too. If I'm not mistaken, that photo was taken by Richard Kern.

oh yeh, right. I know which pic. now. thanks.

thanks for the info. i feel quite privileged.

does anyone know where to find the picture on the website?

I made my own hybrid copy of the dirty cd with that pic and the sticker from the austrailian copy that came with a free 7".

'Member the long boxes cds came in? All copies that had that pic had a small advisory sticker that the non-pic copies didn't have.

i do wonder if he's giving birth to that thing or trying to get it in there.

maybe just a shit on it.

is that version any rare? :D

50,000 according to http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/lp/lp9.html

(i realize its been said above, but we may as well cite the fucking source :p)

I read an article about him on wikipedia just now, super-masochist. Apparently he put a nail through his dick while cracking jokes with company who watched this.

pretty fucking dirty...indeed....


(is that poop on his foot?)

My friend has it, but he won't sell it to me!!!

how much?

Does anyone know who took that photo? Chris?

No worries, you weren't my source :D
