Seriously, y’all…the hits just keep coming! Celebrating our Record Store Day release (out TOMORROW!), Lee Hazlewood – The LHI Years: Singles, Nudes, & Backsides (1968-71), we teamed up with our buds-in-arms Rotter and Friends to bring to you this truly awesome shirt designed/illustrated by Jess Rotter. Let’s see, how might we describe this…a stoic-faced Hazlewood visage with ever present cigarette looks off in the distance as his cast of dames contort their bodies to spell out his name?!? Yes! Pick one or both up here and scope the awesome photos by David Black below.
So for this week’s Free Basin’ Fridays, we’re keeping the love going for our man Lee. For your chance to win your choice of either shirt, leave a comment below (with your name and email address, kept private) and tell us about your all time favorite band shirt, whether you actually owned one or not. We’ll get the ball rolling for you with a little list of our all time (and mostly long lost) band shirts:
Matt – PJ Harvey XXL (it fit like a dress!) shirt from circa Rid Of Me – RIP
Josh – (Josh is burried in RSD orders so we’ll answer for him) Metallica shirt from the Black Album tour! – RIP
Cassie – og Cure shirt from the Boys Don’t Cry tour! RIP
Patrick – My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult “Daisy Chain For Satan” shirt – RIP
We gave you sneak peak at our sweet new “Melody Nelson” shirts in last week’s Free Basin’ Fridays but now you can head on over to LITA-LTD to pick your’s up. For the uninitiated, LITA-LTD is our limited edition line of shirts, posters, test pressings (coming soon) and various ephemera.
And what of this shirt?? To celebrate Serge Gainsbourg’s Histoire de Melody Nelson (LITA 040), we asked artist Drew Christie to channel the classic cover art through his vision and voilà: the Light In The Attic “Melody Nelson” tee. The first pressing of this shirt quickly sold out and was only available at the Serge Gainsbourg tribute show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles (Summer 2011). We decided to press it up again and offer it for sale on LITA-LTD for the first time. And like everything we do at LITA, these are quality all the way: Six color art screened by hand on super soft American Apparel unisex shirts (S, M, L, XL available). Grab one now before they’re gone, gone, gone.
It took a little while to get this out but we had to do right by Mr. Ford. Our second collaboration with Rotter and Friends, this rad design by Jess Rotter just about sums up Jim Ford and has some clever references to his (recently reissued by LITA) album Harlan County. How many can you find???
The tee comes in S, M, L, and XL in Men’s and Women’s sizes and two smokin’ colorways. Available for purchase by itself or as a sweet tee/CD or tee/LP combo deal from Light In The Attic and Rotter and Friends. Become an instant fan!
