A 40cm x 50cm Artist’s Proof of Joey Dunlop’s V Four Victory

The story: In 1978 Joe Cocker recorded his Luxury You Can Afford at Muscle Shoals, Alabama during a period when Cocker was experimenting with a cocktail of substances. After the sessions Cocker would stay at a local musician friend’s house whose neighbours had a prized aviary in their garden. This arrangement worked reasonably well, until one night - high on Lord knows what - Cocker got hold of his friend’s shotgun in the middle of the night and used the birds as target practice. The neighbours were not happy.
