Original MIRAGE Album cover artwork for sale

[mylittledemon]

Hey guys,

Among all of the other stuff I'm getting rid of to go to New Zealand is the original concept artwork for the 1982 MIRAGE album. This LP-sized piece was given to Frank Harding (who I bought it from) by Mick Fleetwood. You can see Harding's name in the credits of "The Chain" box set as being thanked by the band. Harding lived in Australia when I bought this from him in 2001 for quite a hefty price.

Ken Caillat also confirmed it's existence a few years ago when the Penguin had the Q&A session with him. I emailed him pictures of it and he was "fairly sure" he recognized it. He also told me there were several other ideas for covers for that album, including a picture of Earth (ala Eyes of the World).

I am offering it to any of you guys first before I try to sell it privately. Let me know if you are interested. As you can see from the photos, I have had it professionally framed and matted. It was not dry mounted, so you can remove it from the frame if you wish.

Wow, I never bid on anything, and I don't covet momentos and stuff as much as some others, but I actually would want that. It's so.....1981 cheesy Macgoodness that I'm drawn to it. It's even a blend of colors I don't like together. But it's striking, too. I love it. But where would I put it? It probably goes best with the pics/colors I have in the bathroom...
sorry, just out loud musing on it's qualities and uses..... You know what else, I really don't like Mirage the album much...now I really want this Am I still talking?

Cool. I have to say I'm glad they went with we've come to know and love. It kinda looks like someone puked on our favorite band.
