Keep On Truckin’ Apparel Launches “Cheap Thrills” T-Shirt Collection
Monday, June 4th, 2012. Today, Keep on Truckin’ Apparel, LLC of Carlton, Oregon, announced the acquisition through Big Brother and The Holding Company of the rights to the “Cheap Thrills” and “Cheaper Thrills” album cover art as part of their apparel line. Online at www.kotapparel.com, “KOT Apparel” features the cartoon artwork of Robert Crumb.
In 1968 when lead singer Janis Joplin and her Big Brother and The Holding Company band mates where less than thrilled with the proposed album cover design provided by their record label Columbia; it was suggested that artist R. Crumb of underground comics’ fame might be just the guy to create a unique cover for them. That iconic album cover art; which Rolling Stone Magazine proclaimed to be one of the top ten album covers of all time, will provide the base for our new “Cheap Thrills” t-shirt collection.
Keep on Truckin’s website, at www.kotapparel.com, will begin the introduction of the “Cheap Thrills” t-shirts and hoodies in Early-June, planning to release a total of nine new designs, eight of which will be exclusive to KOT Apparel. Watch for "I Need a Man to Love", "Ball and Chain", "Piece of my Heart", "Combination of Two" and "Cheaper Thrills".
Keep on Truckin’ currently offers three additional t-shirt collections: the “Classics Collection” featuring iconic R. Crumb illustrations; the “Mr. Natural Organics Collection” featuring Crumb’s infamous character and related imagery; and the “Heroes of the Blues” Collection which showcases the early great blues musician who were among the first to record the blues. All KOT Apparel is printed on-demand – based on the customer’s design preference and t-shirt style, color, and size choices. Shoppers can choose from conventional or organic cotton in short and long sleeve styles as well as hooded sweatshirts.
